Netflix has long been a sanctuary for binge-watchers, yet the platform frequently operates on a ticking clock for licensed content. As contracts expire and studios reclaim their heavy hitters, fans are often left wondering if their favorite bending masters like The Legend of Korra have officially migrated elsewhere.

The streaming landscape for the Avatar franchise is undergoing a massive transformation that dictates exactly where one can find their favorite benders this year.

As of late 2025 and early 2026, The Legend of Korra has exited Netflix to find a permanent residence within the Paramount+ library. This shift ensures that Paramount+ remains the primary streaming destination for the entire Avatar franchise.

For those who prefer ownership, digital purchase options remain available through Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, and Apple TV. The departure from Netflix occurred because Paramount Global is prioritizing exclusivity for its flagship Nickelodeon properties.

After joining the library in August 2020, Netflix lost seasons one through four of The Legend of Korra on April 16, 2025. While the series departed that platform, its availability on Paramount+ remained entirely unaffected by the licensing expiration.

Although Netflix previously held the rights, those licenses have concluded, allowing Paramount to consolidate its animated universe. One may still catch occasional reruns on linear Nickelodeon channels, but the streaming future is now firmly tied to the mountain logo.

Netflix Adaptation of ‘Avatar: The Last Airbender’ Should Borrow This Element from Legend of Korra

The streaming war for the elements continues as one legendary series departs while the original masterpiece secures its stay.

While Korra has moved on, Netflix successfully negotiated a critical extension to keep Avatar: The Last Airbender on the platform until April 2027. This two-year renewal ensures that the animated classic remains available to stream alongside its high-budget live-action counterpart.

The timing of this deal is essential as the live-action adaptation prepares for a massive 2026 return. Production of the second season is currently nearing completion, with additional filming scheduled to continue through the summer to meet a November wrap date.

The year 2026 is shaping up to be a monumental era for the franchise with several new projects on the horizon. Paramount executive Brian Robbins announced, alongside the launch of Avatar Studios, that they are expanding this universe in ways fans have only dreamed of through Avatar Studios.

Aang: The Last Airbender is slated for a theatrical release in 2026, marking the first major animated film from the new studio. Additionally, excitement is building for Avatar: Seven Havens, a fresh, animated series that promises to explore previously unseen corners of the spirit and physical realms.
