Long ago, in 2005, Nickelodeon aired the first episode of Avatar: The Last Airbender. Fans were introduced to Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko’s world of vibrant characters and elemental Four Nations. The epic animated fantasy followed Aang’s journey from a playful, 12-year-old into a powerful avatar who mastered the elements with the help of his friends and allies: Katara, Sokka, Zuko, Toph, Momo, Appa and Uncle Iroh.
The award-winning show spawned a collection of print books and comics attached to the original and was adapted into a 2010 live-action film. But Netflix brought it to the small screen in a new way that showcases all forms of bending, supernatural creatures and the spirit world. At the heart of the story, however, are all the characters working to bring peace to a war-torn realm where the Fire Nation has caused so much damage.
The latest version of Avatar: The Last Airbender is executive-produced by Albert Kim, who also served as a writer, alongside Jabbar Raisani, Dan Lin, Lindsey Liberatore and Michael Goi. The cast features Gordon Cormier as Aang, Dallas Liu as Prince Zuko, Kiawentiio as the water-bending Katara, Ian Ousley as Sokka, Daniel Dae Kim as Fire Lord Ozai, Paul Sun-Hyung Lee as Uncle Iroh and Elizabeth Yu as Azula. Not to be left out, James Sie is returning as the unfortunate Cabbage Merchant.
Here is what else we know about the new live-action series, which was just renewed for two more seasons.
