Sarah Michelle Gellar stars in Netflix show Masters of the Universe: Revelation

By the power of Grayskull! Sarah Michelle Gellar and Alicia Silverstone are lending their vocal talents for Netflix’s new animation, Masters of the Universe: Revelation, which launched this week.

Developed by Kevin Smith, the hotly-anticipated series is a sequel to the popular 1980’s children’s cartoon, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe and picks up right where many of the characters’ journeys left off nearly 40 years ago.

After a cataclysmic battle between He-Man (Chris Wood) and Skeletor (Mark Hamill), the planet of Eternia is fractured and the Guardians of Grayskull are scattered. 

It’s now up to Teela (voiced by Gellar) to reunite the broken band of heroes, and solve the mystery of the missing Sword of Power in a race against time to restore Eternia and prevent the end of the universe.

The stellar cast also features Silverstone as Queen Marlena, alongside Harley Quinn Smith as Ileena and Lena Headey as Evil-Lyn.

Gellar, known for her roles in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Star Wars: Rebels, revealed that she relished playing Teela in the new series.

She said: “Anyone who knows me knows that I have a fondness for the chosen one; the girl who doesn’t know that she has any power and then finds out that she has all the power. 

“And to me, that’s the most important life lesson to learn and to teach as a female, and something that I really try to impart to my daughter; that you can do anything anybody else can do. It’s about putting your mind to something and believing in yourself.”
