Based on the hit series that defined a generation of viewers, Avatar: The Last Airbender is the most recent live-action adaptation hitting Netflix. The original animated series, which ran from 2005 to 2008, captured the hearts and minds of millions as we traveled with Aang, Katara, Sokka, and co. as they set out on an adventure to save the world from the Fire Nation. The live-action adaptation from Netflix continues the trend off the heels of shows such as One Piece that seek to expand the existing worlds further.
The latest trailer offers more dialogue between the core three as they unite on their mission. Fans will spot familiar faces in blink-and-miss-it moments and hear notes of the iconic score from the original. The eight-episode series is due out in February, with each episode being an hour long.
What is Avatar: The Last Airbender About?
Water. Earth. Fire. Air. The four nations once lived in harmony, with the Avatar, master of all four elements, keeping peace between them. But everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked and wiped out the Air Nomads, the first step taken by the firebenders towards conquering the world. With the current incarnation of the Avatar yet to emerge, the world has lost hope. But like a light in the darkness, hope springs forth when Aang (Gordon Cormier), a young Air Nomad — and the last of his kind — reawakens to take his rightful place as the next Avatar.
Alongside his newfound friends Sokka (Ian Ousley) and Katara (Kiawentiio), siblings and members of the Southern Water Tribe, Aang embarks on a fantastical, action-packed quest to save the world and fight back against the fearsome onslaught of Fire Lord Ozai (Daniel Dae Kim). But with a driven Crown Prince Zuko (Dallas Liu) determined to capture them, it won’t be an easy task. They’ll need the help of the many allies and colorful characters they meet along the way.
