Showrunner Noelle Stevenson has announced that the upcoming fifth season of Netflix’s Emmy-nominated animated series She-Ra and the Princesses of Power will be its last.
“It was tailored to be 52 episodes, the length that it is, and that’s a real blessing for a storyteller because it means everything happens when it’s meant to happen,” Stevenson told Entertainment Weekly, revealing that a 52-episode run had been the plan from the beginning. “The story definitely evolved along the way, from people who worked on it and following the story threads that seemed right and where the characters led us. We set out with a plan, we executed that plan, so it’s very satisfying to see it wrap up like this.”
