The removal comes after the sequel series to Avatar: The Last Airbender was removed from Netflix internationally in recent years.

The Legend of Korra, the follow-up to Nickelodeon's beloved
Avatar: The Last Airbender animated series, could soon be leaving Netflix in the U.S., having already left Netflix in international territories in recent years,
WoN reports. The main Nick show, however, is safe for another few years.
First being added to Netflix
back in August 2020, Netflix is currently scheduled to lose seasons 1-4 of
The Legend of Korra in April 2025, with the removal planned for April 16th, 2025 (meaning your last day to watch is April 15). The series will continue to be available to stream on Paramount+.
As with all Netflix removals, they are subject to change. This means we could see a last-minute relicense between Netflix and Nickelodeon’s parent company, Paramount Global, that will keep the show streaming for a while longer. Given that an expiry notice is now showing, however, it seems unlikely that’s going to happen.
Both
Avatar and
The Legend of Korra were set to leave Netflix back in 2021, with then Nickelodeon CEO (now co-CEO of Paramount) Brian Robbins telling
The Hollywood Reporter that both will likely be exclusive to Paramount+ at some point. The executive added, “It’s not like this is some secret that we’re pulling the wool over anybody else’s eyes on other services. They’re happy to have the content, and they understand the strategy. We’re very upfront about it.”
Will Avatar: The Last Airbender also be leaving?
Avatar at once stage was also due to leave Netflix in the U.S. alongside The Legend of Korra although WoN is reporting that Netflix has managed to renew that license for another few years. It's understand that Netflix picked up a two-year extension for the show’s license with it now scheduled to remain on Netflix through April 2027.
Keeping the OG Avatar: The Last Airbender on both Netflix in the US and internationally (the series remains available in most territories) makes a lot of sense, given that Netflix has the live-action companion series.
What happened to The Legend of Korra on Netflix internationally?
While many regions of Netflix have streamed the sequel series to Avatar in the past, most have lost it. Netflix UK, for example, streamed the show in full for 49 months from December 2020 through to the end of 2024. Canada saw the removal back in 2023, and Australia lost it in 2021 after only a year being available on the service.
It’s going to be a busy few years for
Avatar: The Last Airbender, which is currently
celebrating its 25th anniversary. Season 2 of the Netflix live-action series is about to wrap up filming before taking a few month’s break and then getting back into production throughout the Summer with a planned wrap now set for November. That indicates a 2026 return, possibly for both seasons.
That’s in addition to all the animated projects in the works.
Aang: The Last Airbender, the first animated project from Avatar Studios, is due out in 2026, and we just recently got the official title for
Avatar: Seven Havens, a new animated series set after the events of
Korra.
