'Planeta Marcia' Trailer/Pilot | Nickelodeon Latin America

It's been nearly two years since ViacomCBS International Studios (VIS) Americas first announced plans to produce Planeta Marcia, a brand-new live-action space-themed fictional series for children, for Nickelodeon, however, Handle Like Eggs Productions recently released a trailer for the news!


Originally announced in May 2019, Planeta Marcia (Planet Marcia) is a scripted Nickelodeon series for teens, in which Marcia achieves her dream to enter Space Camp to train as an astronaut, but before she can take part in a mission to Mars she must solve the mystery of where she is from and reveal a secret that will change humanity. ViacomCBS is set to produce alongside Paradiso Pictures (I Am Frankie, Yo Soy Franky). 

Not much more is known about Planeta Marcia, including whether the series moved passed its pilot episode phase.

Around the same time as when Planeta Marcia, Nickelodeon USA announced that they were partnering with Imagine Kids+Family to develop a original live-action series, which eventually became The Astronauts. Both shows share similar themes, so it may be that Nickelodeon decided that they only wanted one space-themed series. Whilst the fate of Planeta Marcia is currently unknown, Nickelodeon Latin America (Latinoamérica) is set to premiere The Astronauts in 2021. It could even be that Planeta Marcia served as the basis for The Astronauts.

The pilot episode of Planeta Marcia was filmed in May 2019 in Birmingham, Alabama, and featured Audrey Fafard as Brenda and Morgan Monroe as a high school student.

On Planeta Marcia, Zach Carpenter serves as Swing; Theodore Eftimiades will serve as a Production Assistant; Luke Enzor served as a Art Department Assistant (pilot episode); Sherita Leslie serves as Hair/Makeup Combo; David R. Mitchell served as Best Boy Grip (Pilot); Mark Palermo served as Production Assistant (Pilot); Steven Vargo served as Best Boy Electric (Pilot); George Wehmeyer serves as Camera Production Assistant; Martin White serves as Sound Mixer; and Josh Brady serves as Production Coordinator (Pilot).

On This Day in 2005: Avatar: The Last Airbender Premiered on Nickelodeon

On This Day in 2005: Avatar: The Last Airbender Premiered on Nickelodeon


Water, Earth, Fire, Air.. on this day 16 years ago, a legacy began when Avatar: The Last Airbender premiered on Nickelodeon!

Created by Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko and airing between 2005 and 2008, Avatar: The Last Airbender, is set in world people can manipulate the elements of Earth, Water, Fire, and Air, and they lived peacefully in different regions until one of the nations started a world war. One master who can manipulate all four elements, dubbed the "Avatar," had been able to prevent this war, but disappeared soon after. 100 years later, a new Avatar named Aang awakens and sets out on a journey to master all the elements in order to bring peace to the land once more by defeating Fire Lord Ozai and ending the destructive war with the Fire Nation.

The series managed to be such a hit with fans by combining amazing animated action set pieces with three dimensional interesting characters set in this magical fantasy world.

The animated series originally aired for 61 episodes over three seasons ("Books") originally on Nickelodeon, where it began in February 2005 and concluded in July 2008. The series was nominated for—and won—Annie Awards, Genesis Awards, a Primetime Emmy Award, and a Peabody Award.

Konietzko and DiMartino also created a follow-up series, The Legend of Korra, that returned to the world of Avatar years after Aang’s death to follow Korra, his successor as Avatar. That series ran between 2012-2014.

The stories of both Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra have continued on in graphic novel series.

A live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender adaptation is currently in the works at Netflix.

'Avatar: The Last Airbender' Gets Incredible Fan-Made Anime Opening

Avatar: The Last Airbender has gotten the incredible anime opening theme sequence it truly deserves!

Avatar: The Last Airbender is one of the most popular animated series of all time, and it continues to get bigger even years after it initially premiered (and ended) on Nickelodeon since it's become available on streaming services like Paramount+ and Netflix. Due to its strong anime influences, fans have debated over whether or not it's actually identifiable as an anime series because of where it was produced. But there are a number of fans who defend its spot in the anime world.


Now there's an even better argument for Avatar: The Last Airbender being an anime series now as it's gotten the anime opening it deserves! Artist atenahena has proved that the series is not only a great inspiration for an anime opening with their take on it (using Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic's first opening as a base), but still continues to have some of the most iconic characters in the animated world! You can check out a tease of it from @atenahena's Twitter below and check out the full opening above!


Avatar: The Last Airbender is such a hot ticket franchise that while its animated run is over following The Legend of Korra sequel series, the series is still inspiring new projects such as tabletop games and more. One of the most curious is a new live-action series being produced for Netflix. Following original creators' Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko's public exit from the new adaptation last year, the series has reportedly hired a new showrunner.

While we have yet to get concrete details for Netflix's new live-action project just yet, rumors and early reports from the production suggest that the central ages of the series' characters like Katara and Sokka would be changed for the new series. Fans have not responded particularly kind to this idea, but at least fans can keep the original spirit of the series alive with fun new takes on it like this.

Would you consider Avatar: The Last Airbender an anime series? If so, would you want a proper anime opening theme sequence? Let me know your thoughts in the comments!
