Get ready to master the elements. All three seasons of the animated Avatar: The Last Airbender are back on Netflix in the US. The show aired on Nickelodeon from 2005 to 2008 and tells of the adventures of Aang, a 12-year-old boy capable of bending the four elements: water, earth, fire and air.
The show won numerous awards over its 61-episode run, including a Peabody Award and a Primetime Emmy. Although a 2010 live-action film directed by M. Night Shyamalan was critically panned, the Nickelodeon series was much more favorably reviewed. There's also a Last Airbender comics series. And an animated sequel show, The Legend of Korra, ran on Nickelodeon for four seasons from 2012 to 2014.
Avatar: The Last Airbender briefly was available on Netflix in 2019, but was later removed. Fans were excited for its return on Friday.
