But yeah, skepticism seems like the right stance for now.įollow me on Twitter, YouTube and Instagram. We won’t really know anything until we start hearing about casting or seeing some previews.

Netflix new avatar series announced movie#
Netflix has been known for taking a good thing, trying to add to it, and having that not go so well (I’d cite follow-up Arrested Development seasons and the El Camino Breaking Bad movie as examples of that). It really does seem like the series should not move forward without its original creators, and if they disagreed with the direction of the show, that certainly does seem like a reason to be nervous about it. Night Shyamalan Last Airbender movie which is seared into the brains of fans, if they haven’t tried to block it out altogether, and so no one really has the taste for a live-action attempt. The first is that the original Avatar: The Last Airbender series is about as close to perfect as you can get, so it’s hard to know if an adaptation would add anything to it, rather than simply have the potential to take away from it instead. The problem is that the series has two big things working against it that had fans concerned even before this shake-up. And who wouldn’t want an enormous check from Netflix, right? Netflix and Nickelodeon are bringing the magical world of Avatar: The Last Airbender back to our screens, and now we know who will be playing who in the live-action series. Dan Lin and his Rideback team seem to be the ones in charge now, and Nickelodeon is still on board as it appears that they, not DiMartino and Konietzko, have the necessary rights to make that happen.
