Avatar Franchise Expanding

Nickelodeon is launching Avatar Studio and plans to expand the Avatar franchise. Creators Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko will run the studio. The first project on the docket is a new theatrical release. 

Avatar: The Last Airbender and Korra have grown at least ten-fold in popularity since their original hit runs on Nickelodeon, and Ramsey Naito (Head of Nick Animation) and I are incredibly excited to have Mike and Bryan’s genius talent on board to helm a studio devoted to expanding their characters and world into new content and formats for fans everywhere.”

Brian Robbins, President of ViacomCBS Kids & Family

The studio will make content for Paramount+, Nick, theaters, and some third-party platforms. Currently, you can watch Aang and Korra on Paramount+ and Netflix. DiMartino and Konientzko were working on a live-action Avatar but left after creative differences.
