One of the show's founders has talked about coming back to Avatar: The Last Airbender after a long break to launch Avatar Studios, which is getting ready to produce a number of projects including feature films. Avatar: The Last Airbender has enjoyed a considerable rebirth over the past few years because of the widespread availability of the series on streaming platforms like Paramount+ and Netflix, where viewers both new and old can catch up on the show. Due to its renewed popularity, Nickelodeon is bringing back the show with an expanded cast and updated production values.
What we got of the Avatar: The Last Airbender animated series was epic in its own right, but it was by no means indicative of a studio eager to explore any and all avenues in the Avatar universe. Bryan Konietzko, co-creator of the series, revealed in an exclusive interview that he has been requested to return to the franchise and that, as part of that, he may have a larger overall arrangement rather than just sign on in a per project basis.
When it first aired on Nickelodeon in 2005, Avatar: The Last Airbender quickly became one of the network's most successful animated series ever. Audiences and critics alike praised the show, and its popularity has only grown in the years since it initially aired.
The show has been widely praised for its engaging characters, compelling storylines, and its innovative blend of Asian mythology and animation. It has a large and dedicated fan base and has been lauded for its ability to appeal to both children and adults.
Since its initial release, Avatar: The Last Airbender has continued to gain new fans through reruns and online streaming platforms. The show's popularity has also led to the creation of comics, novels, and a spin-off series, The Legend of Korra, which further expands on the world and characters introduced in the original series.
While The Avatar: The Last Airbender movie was so bad, it made fans of the animated series want to earthbend their way out of the theater. It was a disaster on so many levels, it's no wonder M. Night Shyamalan couldn't even waterbend his way out of the critical backlash. The film's only redeeming quality was its ability to firebend any hopes of a sequel.
Otherwise, teasing that multiple projects and feature films are now in the works at the studio, now it's just a matter of waiting for them all to come our way!
