The announcement of Avatar Studios, a division that will focus on expanding the universe of the iconic series has shocked us all. ATLA creators Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko are to be co-chief creative officers of this project. The first project from this division is going to be an animated feature film.
ViacomCBS Kids & Family president Brian Robbins said “Avatar: The Last Airbender and Korra have grown at least tenfold in popularity since their original hit runs on Nickelodeon, and Ramsey Naito (Nickelodeon Animation President) and I are incredibly excited to have Mike and Bryan’s genius talent on board to helm a studio devoted to expanding their characters and world into new content and formats for fans everywhere.”
