Original creators and executive producers DiMartino and Konietzko have signed on to serve as co-chief creative officers of Avatar Studios, reporting to Ramsey Naito, president of Nickelodeon Animation. “Avatar: The Last Airbender” aired for three seasons on Nickelodeon from February 2005 to July 2008. During its run, the series picked up multiple Annie Awards, Genesis Awards, a Primetime Emmy Award, and a Peabody Award. The highly acclaimed show follows the adventures of Aang and his friends Katara, Zuko and Toph, who must save the world by defeating the warring Fire Nation.

The live-action version of the original hit “Avatar: The Last Airbender” was first ordered at Netflix in September 2018. By August 2020, creators DiMartino and Konietzko had departed the project after two years of development work. Per DiMartino, things with the streaming platform didn’t work out after the partners had signed on to make the series because Netflix was committed to working with them on their vision for the show.

' It is the only-live action “Avatar” project based on the franchise to date.' Correct, Netflix will break boundaries by including the word Avatar in the title of a live action project.
