"Avatar: The Last Airbender" Animated Film & Shows Are Coming to Paramount+ and Nickelodeon

From Seventeen

Just when you thought you've seen everything in the world of Avatar: The Last Airbender, Nickelodeon and Paramount+ just gave us the surprise announcement that we've been waiting for.

In a special press release, Nickelodeon announced that the original creators of the series, Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, are back with the network thanks to a brand new Avatar Studios. As Co-Chief Creative Officers, they will head "a newly formed division designed to create original content spanning animated series and movies based on the beloved world of Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra."

The studio's first project will be a brand new original animated theatrical film.

"It’s hard to believe it’s been 19 years since we created Avatar: The Last Airbender. But even after all that time, there are still many stories and time periods in Aang’s world that we are eager to bring to life. We are fortunate to have an ever-growing community of passionate fans that enjoys exploring the Avatarverse as much as we do. And with this new Avatar Studios venture we have an unparalleled opportunity to develop our franchise and its storytelling on a vast scale, in myriad exciting ways and mediums," said Bryan Konietzko and Michael DiMartino in a press release.

"We are exceedingly grateful to Brian Robbins and Ramsey Naito for their enthusiasm and respect for the Avatar property and us as its stewards. From the start, they’ve supported our ambitious plans and created a positive, proactive environment for us," they continued. "We’re excited to be back at Nickelodeon where Avatar began, doing what we do best in the biggest way possible. We can’t wait to build the great teams and productions to make all of this fantasy a reality."

This will no doubt be exciting to Avatar: The Last Airbender fans, especially after news over the upcoming Netflix live-action series left doubts after Bryan and Michael left due to creative differences.

"Creator-driven stories and characters have long been the hallmarks of Nickelodeon, and Avatar Studios is a way to give Mike and Bryan the resources and runway to open up their imaginations even more and dive deeper into the action and mythology of Avatar as we simultaneously expand upon that world and the world of content available on Paramount+ and Nickelodeon," said Brian Robbins, President, ViacomCBS Kids & Family in a press release.

We definitely can't wait to return to the world of Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra again. Hopefully, we'll see more of our favorite characters again as they had off on brand new adventures.
