Ibadat Kaur is an entertainment writer at Netflix Junkie. Her love for Narcos &amp; Pedro Pascal is what brought her to the world of entertainment news. She has immense love for historical and investigative documentaries on people and cultural practices. If this was not enough, she was a blogger prior to keeping her step in the glitz and glamor of the entertainment world and covered culture and heritage while traveling across Central and South America. For Ibadat, writing has been her safe space, and she aims to pick up reviewing anthology formats like Black Mirror &amp; Criminal at Netflix Junkie. If you want an expert on comedy (dark and satire) psychology or travel, then Ibadat is your person. While you will mostly find her covering everything and anything from the world of entertainment, about her favorite celebrities, shows, and movies, Ibadat is an avid Schitt's Creek fan and loves the novel George Orwell’s 1984. And if not this, she will be seen actively backpacking for her next trip, petting her dog Raven, or studying the human condition (side-eye).

When it comes to anime, no fictional tale has collected more adaptations than Avatar: The Last Airbender. With a plethora of multimedia renditions, including TV shows, comics, and games, Aangs’s expansive legacy has enjoyed decades worth of relevance. Venturing into the challenging realm of creating a live-action series from this franchise is none other than Netflix. While the fantastical narrative was slated to appear on the steaming platform almost two months from now, not much was known about it. 
Finally shedding light on it, the man helming the show’s production for Netflix has revealed some enticing details. 
<h2>How will Netflix’s Avatar: The Last Airbender play out?</h2>
In <a href="https://ew.com/avatar-the-last-airbender-albert-kim-original-creators-departing-8416094?utm_campaign=entertainmentweekly_entertainmentweekly&amp;utm_content=new&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter.com&amp;utm_term=6581b0aa2325860001533dff" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Albert Kim</a>, who is creating the live-action adaptation for Netflix, revealed what viewers can expect from it. While stressing that it will be their “version” of Avatar: The Last Airbender, he also clarified that it will not stray too much from the source material of the 2005 Nickelodeon series. However, its eight-episode-long first season will feature some small changes. 
<div class="flex-video widescreen youtube"><iframe loading="lazy" title="Avatar: The Last Airbender | Official Teaser | Netflix" width="1170" height="658" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/waJKJW_XU90?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
They improvised a little on how the series will “start” by straying from Nickelodeon’s version. Secondly, they also chose to “unravel” certain plot points and remixed them &#8220;to make sense for a serialized drama&#8220;. He confessed to feeling “very curious” about how viewers will react to these changes. Well, if Netflix manages to pull off the same success as One Piece, his efforts are bound to pay off.

As it turns out, the show’s making also shares a similarity to Netflix’s One Piece live-action series.

During the interview, another thing that Kim shed light on was the obstacles he faced during its creation. When the people who had originally created the show, Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante DiMartino, walked away from Netflix’s adaptation in 2020, Kim was left feeling understandably “intimidated”. Well, something similar happened during One Piece’s making too. <a href="https://www.netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-i-dont-think-ive-ever-been-more-how-one-pieces-creator-made-the-live-action-adaptation-a-more-difficult-task/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Eiichiro Oda, the mastermind behind One Piece had given its makers an equally hard time</a>.

Still, unlike Avatar: The Last Airbender, One Piece’s creator did not abandon the project. However, for Kim, the daunting task was made all the more challenging when he was left alone to carry the project to completion midway. So, fans will have to wait till 22nd February to see whether the show manages to soar despite this interruption or not.
