Avatar: The 🧔Last Airbender is undergoing a mini-revival. The original Nickelodeon series and the Legend of Korra spin-off have been among Netflix’s most-watched series since their arrival on the streaming service in the past few months.

That ad♌ded attention has led creators Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante DiMartino to put to bed any speculation that a season 4 was ever in the works, though teased that there’s always space for “future stories” in the universe.

that season 4/Book 4 was never on their minds at the time.

“There was never going to be a season 4, not from us and not from Nickelodeon,” Konietzko said. “Mike and I planned [The Last Airbender] to be a three-season arc as far back as our initial pitch in 2002, and in 2008 we finished the story we set out to tell.” DiMartino added, “We finished the🍸 show exactly as we had intended.”

But DiMartino offers hope for those who want new stories in The Last Airbender’s world, especially given the popularity of the franchise's comics and books. “There are many seeds we planted through both series and in the graphic novels that could be expanded on and explored,” he hinted. “The Avatar universe is a big place and has a long history𝐆 so there’s a lot of potential for new stories.”

A new live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender series is in the works, though the creators departed the project earlier this year. The closest we'll get to seeing something new from Aang and the gang is this 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:unaired pilot. For now, the direction of the airbenders lay in Netflix’s hands, b🔴ut who knows what the future might hold?
