In a bid to cater to a wider audience and keep up its shrinking lead over other streaming platforms, Netflix is making a live-action remake of one of the most beloved cartoon series ever.
Nickelodeon's Avatar: The Last Airbender ran for three years from 2005 and 2008, spawning a sequel and a series of comic books, among others. To date, the animated show continues to draw crowds in to Netflix as the adventures of Aang and the rest of Team Avatar are just as popular as ever. Now, images of Netflix's attempt at creating a more faithful live-action adaptation have popped up online.
According to u/DripMaster926 from Reddit, the posted photos from Avatar: The Last Airbender are from a set currently in production in Vancouver, British Columbia. The leaked images only show green screens and the gate of a fortress, reminiscent of the episode that featured Prince Zuko's alter-ego, The Blue Spirit, which is from the first season, Book One: Water.
The photos from the set of Avatar: The Last Airbender come shortly after Iroh's actor, Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, revealed in an interview that Netflix's live-action adaptation is going to have eight one-hour long episodes per season.
