The original Avatar: The Last Airbender show told the story of a world where humanity has split into four nations named after water, earth, fire, and air.
After Netflix outraged fans of Nickelodeon’s classic series Avatar: The Last Airbender by making drastic changes to their planned live-action film based on the show, Nickelodeon has announced the launch of Avatar Studios, a new division within the company set to create original content spanning animated series and movies based on the world of Avatar: The Last Airbender and its spinoff, The Legend of Korra.
Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra are available to stream now on Netflix.
The best part of the news is that Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, who were the original creators and executive producers of the shows, will lead the new studio as co-chief creative officers, months after the duo left Netflix’s planned Avatar: The Last Airbender film citing creative differences.
