Everyone’s favorite Airbender, Aang, is all set to entertain his fans again in the live-action series Avatar: The Last Airbender. The teaser of the much anticipated Netflix series is finally here, with Gordon Cormier in the titular character—Kiawentiio Tarbell as Katara, Ian Ousley as Sokka, and Dallas James Liu as Zuko, amongst others. Keep scrolling to learn more about this series and the trailer.
For the unversed, the live-action adaptation is based on Nickelodeon’s animated show, which became really popular among the viewers. The fantasy series featured fictional locations mainly inspired by East Asian cultures. They had four made-up nations based on the four elements of nature, i.e., Air Nomads, the Earth Kingdom, the Fire Nation, and the Water Tribes. This Netflix series will feature the same.
The 1-minute 52-second-long teaser of Avatar: The Last Airbender released in Netflix’s Geek Week gave the audience glimpses of the four nations and the main characters, including Gordon Cormier‘s Aang. It shows the situation after an attack by the Fire Nation, the same as the animated show, and only Aang can help restore the peace. Cormier’s Avatar can control all the elements for those who do not know.

As per Variety, Albert Kim is the showrunner and executive producer for Avatar: The Last Airbender. Michael Goi Jabbar Raisani will also direct and work as executive producer, along with Rideback’s Dan Lin and Lindsey Liberatore. Roseanne Liang and Jet Wilkinson are amongst the other directors. The OG Nickelodeon series was by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko.
Avatar: The Last Airbender will be released on Netflix on 22nd February 2024 and is said to have eight episodes in season one. Check out the teaser of the series here:
