Fans have long been waiting for the arrival of the live-action adaptation of the beloved anime show Avatar: The Last Airbender. The Netflix show started shooting almost one year ago. While they wrapped up production in June 2022, the creators have said nothing about the release. It is very unlikely that the streamer hasn’t given the slightest sneak peek at this highly anticipated series. A majority of the anime fans were expecting a release sometime later this year. Unfortunately, the latest update surrounding this project might sour the hearts of fans even more.

According to the report scrolled out by Midguard Times, Avatar: The Last Airbender might not get a release this year. This means fans would have to wait another year to finally watch this show. Although these reports are not confirmed, an unnamed source has suggested the possibility of delay.

This news might be unpleasing for viewers but the show has been reportedly pushed back to early 2024 tells the publication. It can be assumed that the delay is happening because the streamer already has its hand full. Considering that the shows like The Witcher season 3, The Three-Body Problem, and Damsel are getting a release soon.

Based on Nickelodeon’s animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender takes place in a warzone where some people can control the four elements of nature—water, earth, fire, and air. While the protagonist named Aang is the thread holding a balance between the mortal and spirit world. In fact, Avatar is the only person in this world who can “bend” all the elements but has yet to master them completely because he was stuck in an iceberg for a century.

So when the world and nature start falling apart due to the merciless conflict of the Fire Nation, Aang sets on his journey to bring back the balance. However, this isn’t as easy as it appears because the character will have to face life-threatening obstacles in the way. Cast members include Gordon Cormier, Kiawentiio, Ian Ousley Dallas Liu, Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, and Lim Kay Siu among others.
