Avatar: The Last Airbender aired on Nickelodeon from 2005 to 2008. The inspired TV show had a vivid and complex backstory, which made it one of the most popular anime of all time. After the disastrous movie adaptation by M. Night Shyamalan, “Team Avatar” is ready to return in the form of a live-action remake by Netflix. Discussing Film reports that Dan Lin has been confirmed to executive produce the series for Netflix.

Dan Lin has an impressive résumé, having produced franchises like It, Lego Batman, Aladdin, Sherlock Holmes, etc. After the racist and horrible adaptation in the movie, The Last Airbender, fans were reluctant on hearing the news that Netflix would be attempting a live-action remake of the popular animated series. Some relief was given after finding out that the original writers and producers, Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, will be coming back on to do the same for Netflix as well.

Though this is the third time I am saying this, the M. Night Shyamalan adaptation was truly horrible.

The development of the TV show has been quite silent and has led fans to wonder if the project was still on. Though the original writers are coming back on for the Netflix live-action version, they haven’t made any announcements regarding the develpments of the project. We do know that blank test shots are going on, trying to decide the shoot locations and how the animated characters will be portrayed.

Open auditions will also be held for the characters of Team Avatar and for all other characters. The writers said that they would announce when the auditions go live, but we still haven’t heard anything yet on that front.

Being a huge Team Avatar fan myself, I could not be more excited to see the Aang, Katara, and Sokka in live-action! With more rumors going around that Avatar: The Last Airbender might equal Game of Thrones on budget, we can’t wait to see the four nations and their bending arts come to life with expensive and modern graphics engineering.

Netflix is taking its time to produce this show, in order to do it right. Hopefully, if all goes without a hitch, we can see it by the end of 2020!
