The Story So Far
When Avatar: The Last Airbender originally aired on Nickelodeon from 2005 to 2008, the animated series was a huge hit. Netflix first announced a live-action adaptation in 2018. Netflix’s live-action adaptation premiered in early 2024, and the streamer quickly announced the show’s renewal for two more seasons just a month later.
Avatar: The Last Airbender takes place in a world divided into four nations, each ruled by one of the four elements. While benders from each nation can manipulate an element, the Avatar can control all four. The Avatar is meant to balance all four nations, but, as they say in the show, “when the world needed him most, he vanished.” After 100 years without an Avatar, a 12-year-old Airbender named Aang (Gordon Cormier) appears to take on the role. Together with his new friends, he must defeat the Fire Nation army bent on ruling the world.
