Back in 2018, Netflix and the original show makers, Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, announced a new live-action concoction. However, there hasn’t been a peep on the development until earlier this year when the duo announced production in the latter part of 2020. It seems the time is finally here.
When is Avatar: The Last Airbender releasing on Netflix?
The production of the new live-action series was planned to start in 2019. In May 2019, Konietzko posted on Instagram, “We’re writing, planning, and testing. There’s plenty that’s new for us in the long run in this live-action process. Right now, everything seems slow. Thankfully, Netflix is committed to doing it right. We’re trying to make something special that will stand the test of time.”
This happened when the show was still in the pre-production stage before the pandemic struck. Since then, the process had been put on halt until further notice. Therefore, it is safe to say, fans have to wait at least till 2022, if not more.
