Netflix’s Live-Action Avatar: The Last Airbender Gets First Look, Debuting in 2024

Netflix just unveiled a first look for its Avatar: The Last Airbender live-action TV show. Appearing at Netflix’s Tudum, a short title reveal takes us through Avatar’s elements with a suitably mystical soundtrack over the top.

Most importantly, Netflix also revealed when we can expect to see it hit the service: 2024. Along with the title reveal were images of Gordon Cormier as Aang, Kiawentiio as Katara, Ian Ousley as Sokka, and Dallas Liu as Zuko.

The upcoming Avatar adaptation has been in the works since 2018 with a plan to bring the popular anime franchise into live-action for the first time. George Takei, Amber Midthunder, and Danny Pudi also recently joined the live-action cast along with Daniel Dae Kim, Arden Cho, Randall Duk Kim, and others.

“We’ll be expanding and growing the world, and there will be surprises for existing fans and those new to the tale,” said showrunner Albert Kim. “But throughout this process, our byword has been ‘authenticity.’ To the story. To the characters. To the cultural influences. Authenticity is what keeps us going, both in front of the camera and behind it, which is why we’ve assembled a team unlike any seen before — a group of talented and passionate artists who are working around the clock to bring this rich and incredibly beautiful world to life.”
