Things We Saw Today: The Trailer for Season Two of She-Ra Is Pure Princess Power

Fans of Netflix’s fun, feminist adaptation of classic Filmation heroine She-Ra won’t have long to wait for season two. During a WonderCon panel for the series She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, creator Noelle Stevenson announced that She-Ra would return on April 26th. She also premiered the trailer for the new season, which shows tensions rising in the kingdom of Etheria.

The new season will see princesses Adora (Aimee Carrero), Glimmer (Karen Fukuhara), Perfuma (Genesis Rodriguez) and Mermista (Vella Lovell) go up against the Horde, lead by Adora’s former BFF Catra (AJ Michalka). Stevenson also discussed her love of Dungeons & Dragons, revealing which class she thought each character would embody.

“According to the showrunner, Adora is a fighter while She-Ra is a paladin — specifically, one who would use fancy dice that roll badly. Additionally: Catra is a rogue, Scorpia is a fighter or barbarian, Frosta is also a barbarian, Bow is “half-ranger, half-bard … like a ranger that took classes in bard” and Glimmer, of course, is a sorcerer.”

Clearly there is no shortage of nerdy women behind the helm of She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, a quality that makes the series a delight for fans young and old. Are you a She-Ra fan? Are you excited for Season two?

❤️🖤💛💕💜💙 The time has come to talk of many memes. Of bows and arrows and superheroes and Olicity and Queens And why TGA is so damn hot And yes, canaries need more scenes… But wait just one minute before we go and do all that For this makes me out of breath To have this not small chat Felicity and I are a very tight two But after one through seven we will be saying goodbye to you I thank you all for the time we’ve shared The elevators we have climbed The monsters we have faced and scared And The burgers we have dined I will keep her in my heart for always And I hope that you can too Because she would not be alive if it weren’t for all of you 💕 Love, Felicity and Me
