The enduring legacy of Avatar: The Last Airbender is a testament to its cultural popularity and impact. Running from 2005 to 2008, the original animated series by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko centres on Aang and his quest to master all four elements — water, earth, fire, and air — to fulfil his destiny as the Avatar and bring peace to the world by defeating the Fire Lord, the ruling supreme of the Fire Nation.
Since the finale, it continued for four seasons with 2012’s The Legend of Korra and received a string of comic books, prequel novels, and two live-action adaptations: M. Night Shyamalan’s widely-panned film, and an eight-episode outing on Netflix. Other notable upcoming projects include The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender, due out on 9 October 2026, the animated follow-up to Korra, Seven Havens, slated for release in 2027, and Season 2 of Netflix’s live-action adaptation.
