`Avatar: The Last Airbender` creators Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko are no longer involved with the planned live-action adaptation of the series at Netflix.

`Many of you have been asking me for updates about the 'Avatar' live-action Netflix series,` DiMartino wrote in an open letter on his website early Wednesday morning. `I can finally tell you that I am no longer involved with the project. In June of this year, after two years of development work, Bryan Konietzko and I made the difficult decision to leave the production.`

DiMartino went on to say that when he and Konietzko first signed on to make the series Netflix was committed to working with them on their vision for the show. `Unfortunately, things did not go as we had hoped,` he wrote. He also assured fans that he is still involved in the `Avatar` universe, which has seen renewed interest since `The Last Airbender` became available on Netflix, with `Legend of Korra` set to join it this week.

`And who knows? Netflix's live-action adaptation of Avatar has the potential to be good,` he wrote. `It might turn out to be a show many of you end up enjoying. But what I can be certain about is that whatever version ends up on-screen, it will not be what Bryan and I had envisioned or intended to make.`
