Nickelodeon to Expand, ‘Avatar: The Last Airbender’, Franchise With Dedicated Avatar Studios.
Nickelodeon is planning on expanding the
universe of ‘Avatar: The Last Airbender’
and ‘The Legend of Korra.’ .
The network will be launching
Avatar Studios, a subset completely
devoted to creating new movies and
animated series for the ‘Avatar’ franchise. .
The studio will be run by Michael DiMartino
and Bryan Konietzko, creators of the original
‘Avatar: The Last Airbender’ series. .
It’s hard to believe it’s been 19 years
since we created 'Avatar: The Last
Airbender.' But even after all that
time, there are still many stories
and time periods in Aang’s world
that we are eager to bring to life. , Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko,
to ‘Entertainment Weekly’.
Their studio’s first project is reportedly
an animated theatrical film scheduled to
begin production this year. .
That film and all future content will be
released on Nickelodeon and in theaters.
It will also land on Paramount+,
ViacomCBS’s online streaming service that
was previously known as CBS All Access. .
With this new Avatar Studios venture
we have an unparalleled opportunity
to develop our franchise and its
storytelling on a vast scale, in a
myriad of exciting ways and mediums. , Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko,
