She-ra and the princesses of power movie

The “She-Ra” live-action series in development at Amazon has brought on Nicole Kassell to direct, Variety has learned exclusively.

Variety previously reported that the show was in early development at the streamer in September 2021. Kassell will direct and executive produce the pilot episode should it go forward. No writer is currently attached.

Kassell previously directed and executive produced multiple episodes of the critically-acclaimed HBO series “Watchmen,” which earned her an Emmy nomination and a DGA Award. She has also directed episodes of shows like “Westworld,” “The Leftovers,” “The Americans,” and “Castle Rock.” She most recently directed the pilot of the HBO series “The Baby.” She made her feature directorial debut in 2004 with “The Woodsman,” which screened in competition at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival.

She is repped by WME, Entertainment 360 & Frankfurt Kurnit Klein & Selz.

DreamWorks Animation will serve as an executive producer on “She-Ra” after recently producing the Netflix animated series “She-Ra and the Princesses of Power” removed any connection of the character to He-Man, instead retconning Adora into an orphan who became a willing member of the Horde on Etheria. The show featured her as a teenager who breaks from the Horde after she discovers the Sword of Protection (again allowing her to transform into She-Ra) and takes up the cause of the Rebellion on Etheria. The show ran for five seasons and 52 episodes, with the fifth and final season dropping on Netflix back in May 2020.
