NEW HE-MAN ON CARTOON NETWORK

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe will make its Cartoon Network debut at 4 p.m. (ET, PT) on Friday, Aug. 16 with a 90-minute special featuring the never-before-told story of the origin of He-Man.

Beginning Aug, 23, the 26-episode series will begin airing on Fridays during Toonami. He-Man and the Masters of the Universe will join the daily Toonami line-up in November.

Here's how the network describes the show:

"Eternia is a land of myth, sorcery and advanced technology where epic heroes accomplish remarkable deeds, strange creatures roam the land, and malevolent enemies wreak havoc. Deep within Castle Grayskull lies the repository of universal knowledge hidden long ago by the Elders of Eternia. He-Man and the Masters of the Universe defend Castle Grayskull and all of Eternia from the tyrannical Skeletor and his Evil Warriors."

The original He-Man series was introduced to television audiences in 1983 and became one of the most successful kids entertainment properties in history.
