The official Avatar: The Last Airbender YouTube channel has just announced plans to host an Earth Day Weekend celebration!
This 3-day event will feature earth-shattering original videos, a live stream every day, and a new, fan-led original discussion series exclusively on the channel. Following the live-streamed premiere of the new series, it'll be made available on the channel permanently soon after.
The Avatar: The Last Airbender YouTube channel's Earth Day Weekend celebration kicks off on Earth Day, April 22. "Get ready! Toph's already on her way!" Nickelodeon said in their announcement.
Nickelodeon issued a casting call last September looking for fans to take part in a new short-form series. It's currently unknown whether this is the same project.
Fan website Avatar News has noted some interesting activity from the Avatar voice cast. Janet Varney, who voiced Korra in the sequel, The Legend of Korra, recently mentioned she’s working on a “special” project with Nickelodeon that “should be announced soon”. However, there’s technically no guarantee it’s even Avatar-related.
Olivia Hack, who voiced Ty Lee, posted about a project that will excite "older fans." Of course, all of these performers have a slate of projects under their belts, so these posts could be promoting unrelated projects.
Update (4/17) - Polygon reached out to Nickelodeon for clarification, and we have been told to expect a trailer for the new series and a formal announcement from the company on Monday, April 19.
Avatar has seen a resurgence in popularity in the past few months after both Last Airbender and Legend of Korra hit Paramount+ and Netflix. It turns out that nostalgic millennials, a global quarantine, and a light-hearted binge are a perfect combination. Nickelodeon took notice, announcing the formation of Avatar Studios, a new creative endeavor focused solely on putting out new Avatar content. The original creators are on board, but exactly what characters or stories we can expect to see was left unsaid. Netflix is also developing a live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender series, without the show's original creators.
Watch Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra on Paramount+ and Netflix!
