Netflix is bringing the "Avatar: The Last Airbender" series back to life with a live-action remake. After more than fifteen years since the original aired, a new adaptation is in progress, this time under the banner of Netflix.
The premiere of «Avatar: The Last Airbender» on Netflix is set for February 22, 2024. The series is expected to consist of 8 episodes, aligning with the storyline of the animated show's first season.
Gordon Cormier takes on the role of the series protagonist and the titular Avatar, Aang. Joining him are Kiawentiio and Ian Ousley, who will portray Aang's travel companions and friends, Katara and Sokka, respectively.
In the antagonist roles, Dallas Liu will play Prince Zuko, while Paul Sun-Hyung Lee takes on the character of General Iroh, Zuko's uncle.
Earlier in December, Netflix for the first time published detailed viewing figures about thousands of its shows and movies, offering an unprecedented glimpse into the world-leading streaming platform's top hits and highest-profile flops.
The report, which Netflix says will be repeated every six months, is a major departure for a company that has historically guarded its data closely, but came under renewed pressure to be more transparent during strikes this year by Hollywood writers' and actors' unions.
