The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender, which was greenlit by the previous Paramount Animation administration, won’t be getting a theatrical release. Rather, it’s headed to Paramount+ next fall.
The movie’s most recent release date was Oct. 9, 2026. It had jumped around the calendar, first set of Oct. 10, 2025, then Jan. 30, 2026. In Comscore that leaves nine theatrical release dates for Paramount, the first up being the Jan. 9 Walter Hamada produced genre movie Primate. Paramount announced last month that next year will count at least 15 theatrical releases.
In the movie, directed by Lauren Montgomery with Steve Ahn and William Mata, Avatar Aang, the world’s last Airbender, learns of an ancient power that could save his culture from extinction. With the help of his friends, he embarks on a global quest to find it before it falls into the wrong hands and threatens to upend the peace they sacrificed everything to achieve. Voice cast includes Taika Waititi, Geraldine Viswanathan, Dee Bradley Baker, Freida Pinto and Ke Huy Quan, joining previously announced Dave Bautista, Eric Nam, Jessica Matten, Dionne Quan, Román Zaragoza and Steven Yeun.
There’s also a new 2D series coming to P+, that being Avatar: Seven Havens from Avatar Studios. That series from Nickelodeon Animation is set in a world shattered by a devastating cataclysm where a young Earthbender discovers she’s the new Avatar after Korra. But in this dangerous era, that title marks her as humanity’s destroyer, not its savior. Hunted by both human and spirit enemies, she and her long-lost twin must uncover their mysterious origins and save the Seven Havens before civilization’s last strongholds collapse. The series is comprised of Book 1 (13 half-hour episodes) and Book 2 (13 half-hour episodes). Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko serve as co-creators and executive producers. Ethan Spaulding is executive producer, and Sehaj Sethi is co-executive producer.
Both properties are based on the original series Avatar: The Last Airbender created by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko. The new movie and new series join The Legend of Korra and Avatar: The Last Airbender on Paramount+. The original series ranks among Nielsen’s Top 100 most-streamed titles during 17 of 139 weeks since its debut on the OTT service in March 2023.
