Almost two years ago, Netflix announced that it was turning the acclaimed animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender into a “reimagined” live-action series — with the original show’s creators, Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko on hand to help produce and showrun it.
When Bryan and I signed on to the project in 2018, we were hired as executive producers and showrunners.
The show is still moving forward; DiMartino even says it “has the potential to be good.”
In a joint announcement for the series, Netflix said that it was committed to honoring our vision for this retelling and to supporting us on creating the series.
