Nickelodeon<\/strong> has announced<\/a> that they are launching a new division called Avatar Studios<\/strong>, which will dedicate itself to developing new shows and films in the Avatar: The Last Airbender<\/strong><\/em> universe for Nickelodeon, Paramount+<\/strong>, theatrical release, and other platforms. A new animated theatrical film is set to go into production later this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The original show’s creators Michael DiMartino<\/strong> and Bryan Konietzko<\/strong> have been assigned as co-chief creative officers of Avatar Studios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brian Robbins<\/strong> President of ViacomCBS Kids & Family released a statement on why this studio was created. This is what he had to say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAvatar: The Last Airbender <\/em>and Korra<\/em> have grown at least ten-fold in popularity since their original hit runs on Nickelodeon, and Ramsey Naito and I are incredibly excited to have Mike and Bryan\u2019s genius talent on board to helm a studio devoted to expanding their characters and world into new content and formats for fans everywhere. Creator-driven stories and characters have long been the hallmarks of Nickelodeon, and Avatar Studios is a way to give Mike and Bryan the resources and runway to open up their imaginations even more and dive deeper into the action and mythology of Avatar<\/em> as we simultaneously expand upon that world and the world of content available on Paramount+ and Nickelodeon”<\/p>Brian Robbins on the creation of Avatar Studios<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

This news comes as Viacom’s streaming service CBS All Access is rebranding itself as Paramount+. Avatar<\/em> and Legend of Korra<\/em> were critically acclaimed animated series with a dedicated global fan base and plenty of media. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
