Daniel Dae Kim Cast as Fire Lord Ozai in Netflix's Live-Action ‘Avatar: The Last Airbender’ Series

Daniel Dae Kim is joining the Avatar: The Last Airbender live-action series at Netflix, it has been revealed.

He will appear in the role of Fire Lord Ozai. The character is described as the ruthlessly-driven leader of the Fire Nation who demands everyone live up to his impossible standards, especially his teen son, Prince Zuko. Ozai’s drive to conquer and unite the world under firebender rule is a family burden — he believes that it’s his destiny to finish a war started by his ancestors. The character was voiced by Mark Hamill in the animated series.

Kim joins previously announced series stars Gordon Cormier, Kiawentiio, Ian Ousley, and Dallas Liu. Cormier will star as Aang, with Kiawentiio set to play Katara. Ousley will play Sokka and Liu will play Zuko.

Kim is known for his roles on shows like Lost and Hawaii Five-O, as well as films like Hellboy and The Divergent Series: Insurgent. He previously voiced the character of General Fong in the Last Airbender animated series as well as Hiroshi Sato in The Legend of Korra, which served as a followup to Last Airbender. Kim currently executive produces the hit ABC medical drama The Good Doctor, on which he as also appeared.

He is repped by UTA, Brillstein Entertainment Partners, and Gang Tyre.

Albert Kim serves as writer, showrunner, and executive producer on the series. Dan Lin and Lindsey Liberatore executive produce for Rideback, with Michael Goi also executive producing. Roseanne Liang is co-executive producer. Goi and Liang are also directors on the show, as are Jabbar Raisani and Jet Wilkinson.

Original series creators Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko were originally attached to create the series for Netflix, but they announced in August 2020 that they were no longer involved. They have since announced a new deal with Nickelodeon to establish Avatar Studios, which will create new animated series and films set within the Avatar universe.

The live-action version of The Last Airbender was first ordered at Netflix in September 2018. The animated version aired for three seasons on Nickelodeon from February 2005 to July 2008. The series received substantial acclaim during its run, picking up multiple Annie Awards, Genesis Awards, a Primetime Emmy Award, and a Peabody Award. The sequel series, Legend of Korra, aired for four seasons from 2012-2014.

Paramount Plus Slated to Premiere Live-Action 'The Fairly OddParents' Series in March 2022

Paramount+, the streaming service from ViacomCBS, is slated to premiere The Fairly OddParents (working title), the all-new live-action series based off the Emmy Award-winning animated show, The Fairly OddParents in March 2022! The news was announced by the show's showrunner, Christopher J. Nowak, on his official Instagram page!


"These people. I have never experienced a cast, crew, and writers room come together like this before. This season has been an absolute joy," Nowak captioned the photo. "We caught lightning in a bottle here. Can’t wait for you all to see it in March on @paramountplus . Special shoutout to @outsmartin [Samantha Martin], without whom this show would not be what it is. I will be forever grateful to her. #fairlyoddparents #evenodder"

Combining live-action and animation, the 13-episode first season of The Fairly OddParents will pick up years after the original series ended and follow Timmy Turner’s cousin, Vivian “Viv” Turner, and her new stepbrother, Roy Ragland, as they navigate life in Dimmsdale with the help of their fairy godparents, Wanda and Cosmo. Production on the series commenced in Los Angeles earlier this summer. The series is produced by Nickelodeon Studios and Paramount+.

“During its run, The Fairly OddParents granted an endless amount of imagination to viewers, where no wish was too big or too small,” said Zack Olin, Co-Head of Nickelodeon & Awesomeness Live-Action. “We are so excited to build upon the ‘Fairly Odd’ universe with this totally unique experience that the new show’s incredibly talented creative team has cooked up for a new generation of kids on Paramount+.”

In The Fairly OddParents, Ty Turner uproots his life to reunite with his high school sweetheart, Rachel Ragland, in the town of Dimmsdale, thrusting his cautious 13-year-old daughter, Viv, into a new world where she does not fit in. Once there, her cousin, Timmy, entrusts his fairy godparents, Wanda and Cosmo, to help her adjust by taking her under their wings. Witnessing the fairy transfer take place, Viv’s new stepbrother, Roy, also inherits them and the two siblings must come together to overcome the obstacles in their path, all with the help from their new wand-wielding and wish-granting fairy godparents.

Stepping into the world of Dimmsdale is Audrey Grace Marshall (The Flight Attendant) as Vivian “Viv” Turner; Tyler Wladis (Single Parents) as Roy Ragland; Laura Bell Bundy (Perfect Harmony) as Roy’s mom, Rachel Ragland; Ryan-James Hatanaka (Nancy Drew) as Viv’s dad, Ty Turner; and Imogen Cohen as their friend, Zina Zacarias.  Original voice cast members Susanne Blakeslee and Daran Norris return to voice the iconic fairy godparents, Wanda and Cosmo, respectively.

During its run, The Fairly OddParents became one of Nickelodeon’s most beloved properties from both fans and critics alike, having won and been nominated for dozens of awards. The Fairly OddParents was created by Butch Hartman.

The new The Fairly OddParents series for Paramount+ is produced by Nickelodeon Studios. The series is executive produced by Christopher J. Nowak (Danger Force, Henry Danger, Sam & Cat), who also serves as showrunner, and Samantha Martin (Henry Danger The Musical). Butch Hartman (The Fairly OddParents, Danny Phantom, T.U.F.F. Puppy) and Fred Seibert (The Fairly OddParents, Adventure Time, Castlevania) serve as producers. The pilot is directed and executive produced by Mike Caron (Danger Force, Side Hustle, Henry Danger).

MONTREAL – NOVEMBER 2, 2021 – Kabam, in collaboration with Nickelodeon, today announced a new Avatar: The Last Airbender special event arriving in Shop Titans. Taking place Nov. 2-29, this limited-time event brings fan-favorite characters, attire, gear, and other familiar themes from the iconic animated series to the award-winning game world of Shop Titans.
 
Shop Titans (rated T for Teen by the ESRB) is a free-to-play Tycoon Simulation, Light Adventure RPG game on mobile and PC platforms. Set in a fantasy world filled with hilarious character-driven banter between their Champions and city Workers, players can become a fantasy shop tycoon by crafting epic weapons, managing a store to success, and building a team of adventurers to quest for loot. The game’s new Avatar: The Last Airbender in-game content launches today on the App Store, Google Play and Steam, allowing longtime series fans to experience their favorite characters and series themes in a brand-new setting. The crossover also marks the first time ever that Shop Titans fans can experience new content based on another popular entertainment property.


Shop Titans players will receive a variety of new content including a featured storyline alongside Champions Aang and Sokka as they lead heroes through quests. Alongside these interactions with fan favorites, the in-game event offers other Avatar: The Last Airbender experiences and gear. Shopkeepers can dress heroes up like their favorite Airbender, decorate their store with Lord Ozai’s Throne, adorn shop yards with a restful Appa, craft and sell iconic items like Sokka’s boomerang, and much more. Players will also find a new content pass reward track, new vanity items (Shopkeeper, Indoor/Outdoor display items), and new blueprints.


“As one of the world’s most beloved animated series, Avatar: The Last Airbender is a perfect fit for Shop Titans! Both are known for fantasy action and great storytelling filled with humor and charming characters,” said Tim Fields, CEO of Kabam. “Shop Titans is one of the gaming universe’s most original mobile experiences, and we wanted to give gamers and Avatar fans a chance to shop, craft, trade and adventure together. We couldn’t be more excited for this collaboration with Nickelodeon!”

Avatar: The Last Airbender X Shop Titans
Version 8.0.0 Release Notes

New Content

Avatar: The Last Airbender Content Pass

This month features an entirely new event; the Avatar: The Last Airbender Content Pass! Players will be given a series of tasks to accomplish during the month. Completing these tasks will grant you points towards the Content Pass event, unlocking exclusive rewards. Look forward to customizations themed around Aang’s gang, decorations, an exclusive pet (Momo!) and even some blueprints!

Players who feel they may not be able to make it, or simply want to rush to their favorite rewards, can also opt to spend gems to instantly unlock these rewards.

Content Pass Full Access

The Full Access section of the Content Pass is available exclusively for gems. Once purchased, its rewards become available for players with enough points.

Golden Tasks

Similar to bounties, you may notice a few golden tasks at the bottom of the list. These require some form of premium activity to complete (e.g crafting premium item lines, spending gems, being Royal Merchant, etc).

Despite this, regular tasks from the content pass provide enough points to reach the final milestone with some points to spare.

New Guest Champions

Aang, the Last Airbender

Hailing from distant lands... the Avatar has arrived! While his flying bison is resting, Aang will be happy to assist shopkeepers by going on quests as a Champion!

As a party leader, Aang will greatly increase his group’s Attack and Defense. In addition, Aang will also find bonus loot in the form of Elements! 

Aang will visit player shops every day for a month, requesting various items in exchange for 5 Champion Coins. Check in daily!

Sokka, Water Tribe Warrior

Tagging alongside Aang, Sokka also joins the fray! Welcome to Team Avatar, shopkeeper!

As a party leader, Sokka is a versatile combatant that provides bonuses to his party’s ATK and HP. In addition, he also increases the quantity of components found AND XP earned by the party!

Unlike Aang, Sokka will only start visiting the player’s shop once they have earned some of his coins from the Content Pass. Once he does, he will visit daily, granting 5 Champion Coins for fulfilling his request.

Guest Champions

Guest Champions are a new category of Champions with a few special rules. Their most outstanding feature is that they are only available for a limited time. Once their time is up, they will leave the player’s roster.

Other special rules include:

Guest Champions may have a different maximum rank than other Champions. This means that they reach their final Leader Skill much faster. 

Guest Champions still benefit from Power Up ranks once their maximum rank is reached.

Guest Champion appearances do not change with ranks.

Guest Champion Coins cannot be found in most places, such as chests and offers. 

If a Guest Champion ever returns, they will keep their progress, such as level, rank, seeds, etc.

New Pet

A new pet, Momo the Winged Lemur, is now available for a limited time!

Momo is exclusive to the Content Pass, so if you’d like to have Aang’s best buddy hang around your shop, don’t miss it! Unlike Guest Champions, Momo can be kept forever once unlocked.

Major Changes

Decoration Duplicates

Up until now, any decoration received under special circumstances (such as from a pack or a giveaway) were limited to one copy. If you dreamt of a shop filled with Troublin Plushies, it was simply not happening.

With this update, owning any decoration also unlocks the ability to buy duplicates of it for gems. For example, lucky owners of the Troublin Plushie can now purchase any amount of them. Decorations earned from the Antique Store also unlock this option.

There are some exceptions to this new rule:

Decorations that cannot logically coexist with duplicates of itself (such as the upcoming Sleepy Appa).

Decorations from Seasonal Collections. These however are available for purchase every year.

Miscellaneous exceptions (Worker statues and the Synthesis Vessel).

Minor Changes

Added a new Full Moon recipe to transform an Opulent Key into 5 Opulent Chests.

Bug Fixes

Fixed a bug allowing players to donate to the collection book too early during its tutorial, causing it to freeze later on.

Fixed a bug causing Opulent blueprints to show up in daily tasks.

Fusion list now sorts available fusions first.

Fixed several issues with champion shadows not displaying properly.

Fixed a bug where a Hero’s total element score would display as 50/50 water if all their skills were maxed.

Fixed enchanted items displaying the wrong stat bonuses in their enchantment details.

Enchanted items now add a +1 to collection book sale stats of their respective enchantments.

Fixed further instances of players seeing packs they’ve already seen in flashback offers.

Fixed Gem packages not having proper title on Steam purchase overlay.

Fixed an instance where item cards would display required worker level instead of hire worker prompt.

Fixed issue where The Wise Scholar offer incorrectly displayed blueprint lines. 

Fixed a crash that could occur when collecting a "Special" category fusion.

Fixed a display issue where the Crafting Details menu would show incorrect quality for item's name if navigating from Fusion Details.

Fixed an issue with pet shadows sometimes causing them to escape their owner.

Fixed an issue occasionally causing Daily Deals to be blank with no content.

Judge Rules Business Can't Open "Krusty Krab" Joint in Kemah, Texas

A federal judge has ruled that a Houston, Texas-based company cannot open a restaurant called The Krusty Krab in Kemah because of trademark infringement, the Houston Press is reporting.

IJR Capital should be happy it was spared the wrath of Mr. Krabs, who once threatened the Chum Bucket for trying to steal his Krabby Patty recipe. From the lawsuit.

Viacom International sued IJR Capital Investments after discovering its plans to open its own Krusty Krab in November 2015. The TV giant, which owns Nickelodeon, accused the entrepreneurs of trying to piggyback off the Krusty Krab's well-established fame and reputation in order to make money, claims that IJR Capital adamantly denied.

In an opinion last week, U.S. District Judge Gray H. Miller issued the blow to IJR, laying out in great detail how the fictional Krusty Krab — home to Mr. Krabs's famous Krabby Patty and where SpongeBob and his perpetually unenthused friend Squidward are employed — rose to distinguished prominence amongst fans of the beloved animated series.

The Krusty Krab has appeared on 249 episodes of SpongeBob SquarePants, appeared in SpongeBob videogames, on baseball hats and shirts, in books called Jokes from the Krusty Krab and Trouble at the Krusty Krab!, and has been manufactured as Lego sets, cake decorations, aquarium adornments and even costumes, according to Viacom. As a result, Miller concluded there's a good chance that restaurant-goers would confuse IJR's Krusty Krab seafood restaurant with the one located in SpongeBob's hometown, Bikini Bottom.

Javier Ramos, owner of IJR Capital Investments, told the Houston Press that he found Miller's ruling unfair, and that he planned to appeal it and fight Viacom to the end. Ramos said he had never heard of SpongeBob before conceiving of the seafood restaurant, and once he looked it up on the Internet, still didn't think Mr. SquarePants was a big enough deal for him to choose a different name.

“I don't think SpongeBob is that famous,” he said. “I think it's more of a niche fame. There's too many legal questions about whether it would be confusing or not, but I didn't think it would. I don't think anybody would drive by the Gulf Freeway and think, 'Hey, there's SpongeBob's restaurant.'”

Since its launch July 17, 1999, SpongeBob SquarePants has reigned as the number-one animated series on TV for the last 18 years, while generating a universe of beloved characters, pop culture catchphrases and memes, theatrical releases, consumer products, a Tony Award®-winning Broadway musical and a global fan base.  SpongeBob SquarePants is the most widely distributed property in ViacomCBS Networks International history, seen in more than 170 countries and territories, translated in 30+ languages, and averaging more than 100 million total viewers every month.

IJR tried to argue that, since Viacom never specifically registered the Krusty Krab for a trademark, it was fair game for usage. Yet Judge Miller, citing case law, disagreed, saying that ownership of a mark is established by use and popularity in the marketplace, not registration.

He brought in SpongeBob to help explain this law in a useful footnote: “As SpongeBob Squarepants says, 'You don't need a license to drive a sandwich.'”

Ramos said he had tried to settle with Viacom and suggested new names for the restaurant such as “Crusty Crab” or “Krusted Krab,” but said Viacom continued to “bully” his company and would not agree to those names. (According to Miller's ruling, IJR's lawyers argued that calling the restaurant the Krusty Krab with K's was important because K's are more “aesthetically pleasing” than C's. In a footnote, the court defended the letter C as also aesthetically pleasing.)

Judge Miller did not grant Viacom's claims of dilution, in which Viacom argues that IJR's use of the Krusty Krab has already tarnished its reputation.

“The court imagines an appropriate reaction from SpongeBob SquarePants would be, 'Aw, tartar sauce,'” Miller wrote.

Mayim Bialik Gets Real With Kel Mitchell About ‘Life Lessons’ On 'Bialik’s Breakdown' Podcast

Mayim Bialik may be running for the new host of Jeopardy! but the star of the Fox sitcom Call Me Kat also has a podcast called Bialik’s Breakdown.


In today’s episode (Nov. 2), Bialik interviewed two-time Emmy Award–nominated actor, producer, comedian, pastor and author Kel Mitchell. Mitchell, now 43, got his start on Nickelodeon in the '90s, starring in shows such as All That and Kenan & Kel as well as the cult favorite movie, Good Burger.

Describing himself as “the kid who did cartwheels on the way to the garbage can” in school, he revealed that he turned to acting for focus because he had “too much energy” in the classroom and would often interrupt class to perform impersonations of his teachers.

He started out on All That when he first started working with Kenan Thompson. They formed a fast friendship behind the scenes which eventually led to the development of their own show.

Bialik dubbed the show “significant and important in terms of visibility” because there weren’t many shows that focused on Black families at that time.


Mitchell admitted that his parents were more cognizant of that than he was, but he admitted that he was “very much aware” of his status as a role model. He admitted that kids are still coming up to him even today saying how much the show inspired them to be able to see “two African-American boys…having fun on TV.”

Bialik, who was also a child star after appearing in Blossom, spoke with Mitchell about how he handled the fame being so young.

Mitchell admitted to struggling to figure out if people liked him for his character or if people liked him for who he was as a person. “There were times when I didn’t know who I could trust,” he confessed, ”  “…and that gave me a lot of anxiety.”

Although he says he was “grateful” to leave Chicago for LA, he admitted that there was “a lot of anxiety” to find a good sense of self.

Bialik Dubs Kel ‘A Very Sensitive Person’

Mitchell latched onto “his faith in God” in order to help him through the “ups and downs in life.” The grandson of a pastor, Mitchell found that religion has helped him throughout his life, but at one pivotal moment in particular.

He explained that, in 2006, he had friends that had been murdered in Chicago when he was in LA, his uncle had been murdered, his marriage was falling apart, and he got to a point where he wanted to “push the off button.”

While was filming a movie in Vancouver, he didn’t want to let people know he was struggling, and he “literally had a breakdown.”

While he was smoking on a balcony, he had an urge to jump. Before he did, he said he heard a voice telling him to go into the bathroom for the rest of the night. When he woke up on the bathroom floor the next morning, he decided to turn his life around.

Although he hadn’t been doing hard drugs, he had been drinking and smoking marijuana. He told Bialik that he didn’t get clean right then, but he started “the steps” to make that happen.

“There’s no mistakes in life, just lessons,” he said.

Fan Reactions

Fans were overwhelmed by the honesty in Bialik and Mitchell’s exchange.

‘Celebrities are people too.’ That is the exact reason I am obsessed & thankful for this Podcast,” one fan wrote. “It’s because of this I realized I was suffering from severe anxiety & depression & now I understand that I’m more ‘normal’ than I thought. Thank you to all that are involved in making this Podcast happen.”

“I absolutely loved the episode,” another fan commented. “I can’t put into words how this touched me, this has moved me more than I thought this morning.”

“Wow, I really enjoyed this episode,” another wrote. “I admire Kel. Especially how he did not hold back on his faith, beliefs, and convictions.”

In Bialik’s last episode, she interviewed author David Poses about the intersection of addiction and mental health.
