Nickelodeon's Avatar: The Last Airbender series was a pivotal point in animation in the early 2000's. Created by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, Avatar was a bridge of American animation styles at the time with classic anime influences. It was one of Nickelodeon's highest-rated and critically-acclaimed shows of all time. Now, Netflix and showrunner Albert Kim (Sleepy Hollow, Nikita) are bringing the adventures of Aang and company their first live-action television series.

The first teaser for the show doesn't show much, but symbols of each of the four different nations with a war drum increasingly getting faster and heavier as the symbols become more in tune with their respective elemental.

The path to get a live-action series was paved several years ago, but it finally went into production back in 2021. The first foray into live-action was the critically panned and globally loathed 2010 film by M. Night Shyamalan, and both DiMartino and Konietzko have reassured fans this adaptation for Netflix won't be anything like that.
