Netflix’s Avatar: The Last Airbender, a live-action adaptation of the beloved children’s anime from Nickelodeon will be continuing the journey to master all four elements. According to Deadline, the series has been renewed for two more seasons, finishing out the story of Aang and his journey to master being the Avatar.
Avatar: The Last Airbender premiered on Netflix on February 22. According to Deadline, the series brought in a massive 41.1 million views and has been sitting on the top of the TV rating list on Netflix for almost two weeks now. The live-action adaptation of Avatar follows another highly-rated anime, One Piece, which was met with smashingly positive reviews.
A lot of viewers and fans are eager to know when the next chapter in the Avatar’s story is going to begin and be ready for viewing. As of now, there is no official release date. But what fans do know is that the filming will begin soon and rather quickly to make sure the child actors playing the titular roles don’t grow up too quickly.
Avatar: The Last Airbender is a series adapted from an anime of the original title. The original cartoon debuted in 2005 and had a resurgence in popularity during the pandemic when it was released on Netflix. The series centers around Aang, a young airbender who is the last of his kind given the task of not only mastering the four elements of Fire, Earth, Water, and Air but also bringing balance to all the nations pertaining to each element. After hibernating for 100 years, Aang returns and begins his journey with his newfound friends Sokka, a warrior, and Katara, a young waterbender from the Water Nation. Upon the three friends teaming up, they fly Aang’s air bison all around the world to ensure that Aang gets the proper training to fulfill his destiny as the Avatar as he stays away from the grasp of Prince Zuko, a firebender who’s on the hunt to capture the Avatar.
Much to the pleasure of hardcore fans, director Jabbar Raisani (Alien Outpost) spoke to Deadline saying that there was much more that was filmed during the production of season one that did not make it into the final cut. But, they have learned from this as Raisani believes that he will keep in as much as humanly possible in the upcoming seasons.
“If we get another season, then we will certainly have those things, because I know what we missed now and I know how to do better the second time around,” he said. “The animated series is a really good guide…for where the show can go.”
