On March 15, 2021, Albert Kim, who had worked with Mike and Bryan on the show prior to their departure, was announced as the series' sole showrunner.

The first episode debuted on February 15, 2024 in Los Angeles as part of the red carpet premiere of the series, with the full streaming release on Netflix a week later on February 22 The series received mixed reception from critics and viewers. The first season consists of eight episodes.

On March 6, 2024, it was announced that the Netflix had renewed the series for two more seasons, covering Books Two and Three.

It’s not clear how many episodes will be produced for season two and three.

Cast

Main

• Gordon Cormier as Aang, a fearless and fun-loving twelve-year-old who just happens to be the Avatar, master of all four elements and the keeper of balance and peace in the world. An airbending prodigy, Aang is a reluctant hero, struggling to deal with the burden of his duties while still holding on to his adventurous and playful nature.
• Kiawentiio as Katara, a determined and hopeful waterbender, the last in her small village. Though only fourteen, she's already endured great personal tragedy, which has held her back from rising to her true potential, though it's never dimmed her warm and caring spirit.
• Ian Ousley as Sokka, Katara's sardonic and resourceful 16-year-old brother. Outwardly confident, even brash, he takes his responsibility as the leader of his tribe seriously, despite his inner doubts over his warrior skills... doubts that he masks with his wit and deadpan sense of humor.
• Dallas Liu as Zuko, a skilled firebender and the intense and guarded Crown Prince of the Fire Nation. Currently roaming the world in exile, he's on an obsessive quest to capture the Avatar because he believes that is the only way to reclaim his life and live up to the demands of his cruel and controlling father, the Fire Lord.
