Netflix announces two new seasons for the live-action adaptation of "Avatar: The Last Airbender". This follows high viewer numbers. However, a release date is not yet known.

"It's not the news we were hoping for," the dejected Firelord Ozai actor Daniel Dae Kim explains to his fellow actors on the Zoom call, "but unfortunately Netflix is unable to renew the show for another season."

Pause. Disappointed faces.

"However," Dae Kim starts again, "the reason they're not renewing the show for one season is because they're renewing it for two seasons!"

Cheers erupt. "You're cruel!" says Aang actor Gordon Cormier between tears and laughter. "You had me in the first half!" agrees Sokka actor Ian Ousley. "I'm still a little disappointed," adds Uncle Iroh actor Paul Sun-Hyung Lee in his Star Wars-inspired room with a broad, warm smile, "they took their time."

Two new seasons - thanks to viewers, not critics

Possible release date: not before the end of 2025

It is not yet known when the new season will be released on Netflix. Based on experience, however, it is likely to take one and a half to two years between the announcement and release of such an elaborate production. A release before the end of 2025 therefore seems unlikely.

Fans of "Avatar: The Last Airbender" can therefore look forward to a rosy future in which the wait between seasons 2 and 3 could be dramatically shortened.

I write about technology as if it were cinema, and about films as if they were real life. Between bits and blockbusters, I’m after stories that move people, not just generate clicks. And yes – sometimes I listen to film scores louder than I probably should.
