First Look Teaser For ‘Avatar: The Last Airbender’ Revealed; Sets February 2024 Release Date

Avatar fans rejoice! It feels like forever since Netflix announced a live-action remake of Nickelodeon’s beloved animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender. But finally, after years of waiting, we got several info drops for the new series via Netflix’s Geeked Week. 

It goes without saying that the Avatar: The Last Airbender franchise has a rather precarious history in live-action. Of course, look no further than M. Night Shyamalan’s 2010 movie, which was slammed by critics. However, the potential was always there; the story is so in-depth and captivating to viewers of all ages.

When the animated series had a resurgence on Netflix, the streamer was quick to develop its own remake, which was not without controversy. Most notably, original creators Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko dropped out of the project early in development due to creative differences. While their departure rocked the boat, the production went on.

Avatar: The Last Airbender is set in a world ruled by four nations: Earth, Water, Fire, and Air. People from each nation are able to manipulate (or ‘Bend’) each element. But only one person, the Avatar, is able to bend all four elements. When the Fire Nation attacks, all peace is lost, and Avatar Aang (Gordon Cormier), a 12-year-old boy, takes on the duty to restore it. At the start of the saga, Katara (Kiawentiio) and Sokka (Ian Ousley) find Aang in an iceberg, and they befriend him, remaining by his side as he works to fulfill his destiny. The show regularly received praise for showing off diverse stories from different cultures, including Chinese, Inuit, Japanese, and Tibetan.

So, what’s new at Geeked Week? We got four new reveals for Avatar: The Last Airbender in total, including:
