Netflix’s Live-Action 'Avatar: The Last Airbender' Series Reportedly Dialling Back Age Changes

Netflix’s live-action adaptation of Nickelodeon’s hit animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender sparked concern amongst fans last summer when original creators Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante DiMartino departed the show over “creative differences.” The move was followed by reports that Netflix planned to make changes to the original series, most notably altering the ages of certain main characters. Some fans were also concerned the streamer would hire white actors in the lead roles, despite none of these characters being white in the original series.


The Last Airbender fans have been burned before, with M. Night Shyamalan’s 2010 film adaptation receiving similar backlash in regard to white-washing its characters. The fear of this being repeated, along with the possibility of changing the character dynamics, was enough to have longtime fans calling for a cancellation of the Netflix series.

Fortunately, it looks like Netflix is listening to its fans and dialling back on the changes it planned on making. The Illuminerdi reports that the upcoming show will age Katara down from 16 to 14, meaning she’ll again be the younger sibling of The Last Airbender‘s water tribe duo. Meanwhile, her brother Sokka’s age will be increased from 15 to 16. As in the original series, he’ll be the older sibling and the oldest of the show’s central trio, which includes lead character Aang.

In addition to alleviating fans’ concerns over age issues, the outlet also writes that Netflix is seeking out Native American talent to play Sokka and Katara, as well as actors of East Asian or South Asian descent to play Aang and Zuko. This will come as a relief to anyone who feared the upcoming show would make the same mistakes as Shyamalan’s movie.

When the live-action adaptation was first announced in 2018, DiMartino and Konietzko said that the series would feature a culturally appropriate, non-whitewashed cast.

Of course, none of this guarantees Netflix’s take on The Last Airbender will do justice to the original, but it suggests the streamer is at least trying to handle its source material with care.

The live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender is slated to head into production in Vancouver, Canada in November 2021, with season one having 10 one-hour episodes.

Could the original creators return to the live-action Avatar remake?

It’s unclear if these are the specific creative differences that led Konietzko and DiMartino to part ways with the Netflix series in the first place, but it’s unlikely the duo will return to the project even if they were.

The two have since announced their involvement with Nickelodeon’s Avatar Studios, a division of the company dedicated to creating new films and series set in the Last Airbender universe. There’s already a theatrical film in the works, and Nickelodeon appears to have ambitious plans for this new unit.

All Avatar Studios projects are separate from Netflix’s live-action adaptation, as the deals were inked at different times. Despite all the controversy and little progress being announced, it seems the streamer is determined to carry on with its project even without the original creators or Nickelodeon getting behind it.

It is no surprise that Netflix wants to dive into the beloved world of Avatar: The Last Airbender, given the fact that when the animated series was added to the streaming giant in May 2020, it skyrocketed to be the #1 series in only four days and held that position from May 14-May 21. Avatar: The Last Airbender broke records by holding a position in Netflix’s top ten series list for 60 days and was the most streamed children’s series on Netflix in 2020.

Avatar: The Last Airbender is an expansive franchise that began with the three season animated Nickelodeon series that ran from 2005-2008. Avatar: The Last Airbender has grown to include not only a sequel series with The Legend of Korra, but tie in novels, comics, and a video game as well..

Only time will tell if the upcoming remake will appeal to viewers in the same way the original series has. Plenty remains up in the air, but one thing is certain: The Last Airbender fans have a lot of new content to look forward to in the next few years.

BTS will bring its own iteration of the iconic Unplugged format to life straight from Seoul, South Korea - offering their fans a front-row seat to never-before-seen versions of the group's most career-defining hits and songs from their latest album BE (Essential Edition), in intimate settings. BE, first released as the Deluxe Edition last November, peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. The album includes the No.1 hit singles "Dynamite" and "Life Goes On".


Together, MTV and BTS have created some unforgettable moments and performances, including the group's debut on the VMAs stage in August, where they performed the first broadcast performance of "Dynamite," before racking up wins for Best Pop, Best Group, Best K-pop and Best Choreography to bring their career total to six VMA wins. The group also celebrated their first-ever live appearance on MTV's Fresh Out Live in February 2020 for the release of MAP OF THE SOUL: 7.


BTS, an acronym of Bangtan Sonyeondan or "Beyond the Scene," is a South Korean boyband that has been capturing the hearts of millions of fans globally since their debut in June 2013. The members of BTS are RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook. Gaining recognition for their authentic and self-produced music, top-notch performances, and the way they interact with their fans, the band has established themselves as global superstars breaking countless world records. While imparting a positive influence through activities such as the LOVE MYSELF campaign and the UN 'Speak Yourself' speech, BTS has mobilized millions of fans across the world (named ARMY), topped prominent music charts, performed multiple sold-out stadium shows across the world and has been named as one of TIME 100: The Most Influential People of 2019. The act has been nominated for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for the 63rd Grammy Awards and recognized with numerous prestigious awards like the Billboard Music Awards, American Music Awards and MTV Video Music Awards.


MTV Unplugged Presents: BTS made its world premiere on MTV USA on Tuesday, February 23, and is currently rolling out globally. Nickelodeon Latinoamérica will be hosting the Latin American premiere of the special. The special is locally titled Acústico MTV: BTS in Brazil.

Paramount Plus Releases First Trailer for 'iCarly' Revival

Watch Carly restart her web show in trailer for iCarly revival!

The preview introduces Freddie's stepdaughter Millicent and Carly's roommate Harper. Plus, we see the return of eccentric guest stars Nevel Papperman and Nora Dershlit. Credit: Paramount+

After an almost 10-year hiatus, iCarly is signing back on.

"Welcome to the new iCarly," Carly Shay (Miranda Cosgrove) says in the trailer for the upcoming Paramount+ revival, which you can watch below, courtesy of EW! And not only is the series making a return, but its titular show within the show is also coming back.


Beginning with clips from the original series and set to the beloved theme song, "Leave It All To Me," the trailer features Carly as she revives her web show that she began with her friends Freddie Benson (Nathan Kress) and Sam Puckett (Jennette McCurdy) as teens. Nearly 10 years later, the 26-year-old picks iCarly back up, with Freddie and now Spencer (Jerry Trainor) helping to helm it, saying they'd "help however we can."

After Carly says she's "glad" to hear Spencer's willingness to help, her big brother says "dammit" after realizing she wants him to recreate his iconic Baby Spencer segment. Spencer is later seen opening up bottles of beer for him and Freddie to drink.

Carly also asks Freddie if he can film her using a filter that makes her look like a "sexy alien" before she is later seen being out on a date.

While trying to get back into her influencer roots, Carly's pal Harper (Mosley) leaves her with some sage advice: "This is your moment to shine! You need to be a trailblazer."


Unfortunately for Spencer, it involves some pretty humiliating assignments, like getting hit in the face with whipped cream while dressed as a baby. However, "people are weirdly loving this," Millicent (Jaidyn Triplett) says in the video.

As Cosgrove previously told EW, Millicent is Freddie's stepdaughter whom he adopts. Also joining the cast is Laci Mosley as Harper, Carly's roommate and best friend. In the trailer, she encourages Carly — donning an ensemble resembling Björk's notorious Oscars swan dress — to be a "trailblazer."


The series also promises to explore how Freddie and Carly navigate dating in their twenties. And well... it doesn't look like it's going smoothly for either character. Now that Freddie has moved back in with his mother (Mary Scheer) following a divorce, it's cramping his style a bit.

Case in point, just as Freddie's striking up a conversation with a woman, his mom (Mary Scheer) cuts in to say she prepared some "warm milk in your thermos next to your bed." This doesn't impress his prospective date (Erin Mulvey).


And later in the trailer, Carly has bad luck of her own, when the date Harper sets her up with (Rushi Kota) gurgles loudly in public.

"Yeah, we're done here," she says.

Cosgrove also revealed to EW that Spencer is actually the "most successful" of all the characters, while Freddie has gone through "a couple divorces," and Carly's somewhere in between the two.


The revival looks to be as wacky as the original, with the mention of Spencer's "hot beer" (and Guy Fieri), plus the trailer teasing the return of eccentric recurring characters like Nevel Papperman (Reed Alexander) and Nora Dershlit (Danielle Morrow), which was previously revealed. However, the new series levels up the glamour a bit, and we get glimpses of red carpets, parties, and champagne in the trailer.

You can also see Spencer's revamped loft and Carly and Harper's stylish new apartment — both of which are in the same building as the Bensons' apartment. For a closer look, check out these first photos of the set, including the bottle bot from the original series that was remade.


The first three episodes of iCarly will debut Thursday, June 17, on Paramount+ in the U.S. and Canada, and the following 10 episodes will drop weekly on the platform. The series will premiere in Latin America, the Nordics, and Australia later this summer.

Per Paramount+, “The new iCarly will pick up nearly 10 years after Nickelodeon’s original show ended, and finds Carly Shay, the original influencer, and her friends navigating work, love, and family in their twenties.”


Laci Mosley (Florida Girls, the Scam Goddess podcast) is playing Harper, Carly’s roommate and best friend. Jaidyn Triplett (See, The Affair) has been cast as Millicent, Freddie’s snarky and social media-savvy stepdaughter. Jennette McCurdy, who played Carly’s best friend, Sam, on the original series, is not returning for the Paramount+ update. Based on his absence in the trailer, it is also unlikely that Noah Munck, who played the eccentric Gibby Gibson, will appear in the new show.

The original iCarly series, which ran from 2007 to 2012, followed a group of best friends creating a webcast while grappling with everyday problems and adventures. The 13-episode picks up a decade after the original show ended.

The pilot is written by Ali Schouten (Diary of a Future President), who also serves as executive producer, and Jay Kogen (Nickelodeon’s School of Rock, The Simpsons).

Nickelodeon Studios and Awesomeness produce the series, with Cosgrove executive producing and Trainor and Alissa Vradenburg as producers. Phill Lewis (The Suite Life of Zack & CodyOne Day at a Time, The Neighborhood) directed and executive produced the pilot. Shauna Phelan, senior vice president, live-action scripted content, and Zack Olin, senior vice president, live-action, oversee production.

Seth Rogen Unveils Release Date for New 'TMNT' Movie

The world’s most fearsome fighting team began as a joke in 1983, but the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have had serious success ever since. Countless comic books, television shows, films, and video games have shown the group’s lasting appeal. So it’s no surprise they’re gearing up for another big screen adventure. Nickelodeon is teaming up with Seth Rogen on an all-new CG-animated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie.


Nickelodeon first announced it is partnering with Point Grey Pictures’ Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg and James Weaver to develop a new CG-animated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film in June 2020. It will also be Nickelodeon Animation Studio’s first-ever CG theatrical release. Jeff Rowe (Gravity Falls, Connected, Disenchantment) will direct. Brendan O’Brian (Neighbors, Sorority Rising) will write the script. Nickelodeon’s Executive Vice President Ramsey Naito will lead the production for Nickelodeon, alongside Point Grey Pictures’s Josh Fagen. Paramount Pictures will distribute the film globally.

“Adding Seth, Evan and James’ genius to the humor and action that’s already an integral part of TMNT is going to make this a next-level reinvention of the property,” said Brian Robbins, President, Kids & Family for ViacomCBS, in a statement.

The new movie will arrive in theatres on August 11, 2023 according to a tweet from Rogen:


It’s full of scribbled notes from Leonardo. There were no other details provided aside from some doodling in the margins of the notes, which featured words like honor, loyalty and discipline which are staples of the Turtles mythology. There’s also a note to “apologize to April,” a nod to the journalist who helps the quartet fight crime.

Plot details for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles remain under wraps, but Rogen previously told Collider that the film will use the "teenage" part of the title as the "jumping off point for the film."

"As a lifelong fan of Ninja Turtles, weirdly the 'Teenage' part of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was always the part that stuck out to me the most. And as someone who loves teenage movies, and who’s made a lot of teenage movies, and who literally got their start in their entire profession by writing a teenage movie, the idea of kind of honing in on that element was really exciting to us. I mean, not disregarding the rest, but really using that as kind of a jumping off point for the film."

This is the most recent heroes in a half shell project from Nickelodeon. The network debuted the 2D-animated series Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in 2018. The network is also working with Netflix on an original animated 2D film based on that most recent series. Season one of Rise of the TMNT is currently streaming on Paramount+.

This is not entirely new ground for Leo, Donatello, Mikey, and Raph. Nickelodeon previously produced a CG-animated series that debuted in 2012. And Warner Bros. also produced a CG-animated feature film. TMNT, whose cast included Chris Evans as Casey Jones. That one released in 2007.

And we’re sure this won’t be the group’s last big screen foray. That’s one heck of a legacy for superheroes who began as a joke.
