Netflix's Avatar: The Last Airbender is only a few weeks away and new character posters have hit the web.
Hot off the heels with the success of the live-action One Piece and Yu Yu Hakusho, Netflix is aiming to tackle the world of benders with Avatar: The Last Airbender this February. To get fans hyped for the new live-action take on the bending universe, Netflix has released four new character posters that, The posters, each adorned with the words “Master Your Element,” highlight Aang, Katara, Sokka, and Prince Zuko of the Fire Nation.
The upcoming Avatar series will revisit the early events of the beloved animated series, meaning that fans will once again be introduced to Aang and his friends as they attempt to stop the advance of the Fire Nation. Luckily, the live-action show won't be a complete remake, as the showrunners have stated that they are looking to mix things up and "remix" the events of the series that first arrived on Nickelodeon. From the first trailer that was released for the Netflix series, it was clear that some familiar locales and faces would be a part of the live-action adaptation.
Avatar wouldn't be the same without its core three heroes to kick things off, as Aang is discovered by waterbender Katara and her brother Sokka. While the gang eventually has Earthbender Toph joining their group, she did not make an appearance in the animated series' first season, meaning it's anyone's guess if the blind bender will be a part of the live-action show's first episodes. Still, Azula is confirmed to arrive in this new live-action offering, leaving the door open for other characters not featured in the animated first season to arrive next month.
Netflix's live-action take on Avatar is slated to arrive on February 22nd next month. The cast includes Gordon Cormier as Aang, Kiawentiio as Katara, Ian Ousley as Sokka, Dallas Liu as Zuko, and Daniel Dae Kim as Fire Lord Ozai. The series also stars Paul Sun-Hyung Lee as General Iroh; Casey Camp-Horinek as Gran Gran, the grandmother of Sokka and Katara; Arden Cho as June, a bounty hunter; Maria Zhang as Suki, a Kyoshi warrior; and Sebastien Amoruso as Jet, a rebel from the Earth Kingdom.
You can currently stream the original Avatar: The Last Airbender animated series with Netflix and Paramount+, the latter with a free trial at ParamountPlus.com.
While this February will see Aang back in the spotlight, Netflix won't be the only place that we are able to see the last airbender. In 2025, Avatar Studios is planning to release a new animated movie that will hit theaters, focusing on Aang and his friends as adults to mark the first part of a new trilogy.
Avatar: The Last Airbender will release its eight hourlong episodes on Netflix on Feb. 22, 2024.
“Alongside his newfound friends Sokka and Katara, siblings and members of the Southern Water Tribe, Aang embarks on a fantastical, action-packed quest to save the world and fight back against the fearsome onslaught of Fire Lord Ozai. But with a driven Crown Prince Zuko determined to capture them, it won’t be an easy task,” reads the official logline. A trailer for the series was released in November.
Albert Kim serves as showrunner and executive producer. Michael Goi and Jabbar Raisani both direct, and serve as executive producers alongside Rideback’s Dan Lin and Lindsey Liberatore. Other directors include co-executive producer Roseanne Liang and Jet Wilkinson.
