ADORA AND THE PRINCESS ALLIANCE FACE OFF AGAINST THEIR ULTIMATE ENEMY, HORDE PRIME, IN THE FINALE OF SHE-RA AND THE PRINCESSES OF POWER

ETHERIAN PRIDE

IN THE FIFTH AND FINAL SEASON of DreamWorks’s hit reboot of She-Ra And The Princesses Of Power, it’s literally do or die time for Adora and her Princess Alliance.

In the season four finale, the real villain of the story, Horde Prime, arrived with his fleet to take Etheria. Even without her She-Ra-summoning Sword of Protection, Adora was ready to fight to protect her friends to the end if necessary.

On 15 May, avid fans around the globe got to see how this epic adventure came to a close on Netflix. While some may lament the fact that it’s over, executive producer/showrunner Noelle Stevenson assures the fans that this iteration of She-Ra has ended exactly as she and her creative team envisioned. But emotionally, the finality of it all hasn’t really hit her yet.

“I think sometimes I have trouble getting my head around it,” she admits in a phone call from her quarantine home base in California. “And then sometimes, out of nowhere it’ll just hit me, like, ‘Oh, this is the last season. People are really gonna be able to see the whole show in its entirety. Everything we dreamed of, and came up with, it’s all going to be out there.”

The last 13 episodes pack in a lot of emotional punch, with the ensemble of now-beloved characters each getting a time to shine. Quite a few of them also get to redefine their destinies, shaking up the presumptions of many as they race to save their world. That was a specific choice made by Stevenson and her creative team, to remind viewers that your path is never truly set in stone.
