The new show is being brought to us from the original creators Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, they will also serve as the show’s executive producers and as the show-runners. Nickelodeon is partnering with Netflix for the new series and production is set to start in 2019.

“Avatar: The Last Airbender” ran for three seasons on Nickelodeon from February 2005 to July 2008.

When asked about the project, Konietzko and DiMartino had this to say:

[“We’re thrilled for the opportunity to helm this live-action adaptation of ‘Avatar: The Last Airbender,’” “We can’t wait to realize Aang’s world as cinematically as we always imagined it to be, and with a culturally appropriate, non-whitewashed cast. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime chance to build upon everyone’s great work on the original animated series and go even deeper into the characters, story, action, and world-building. Netflix is wholly dedicated to manifesting our vision for this retelling, and we’re incredibly grateful to be partnering with them.”]
