It has been nearly sixteen years since Avatar: The Last Airbender aired its third season on television. Since then, some, if not all fans of the popular animated fantasy action series have been wondering if there would be a fourth season and if so whether it had a release date or not.
Here’s all we know about Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 4 and whether or not it’s coming out.
Is there an Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 4 release date?
There is no Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 4 release date as the series has ended after running for three seasons between February 2005 and July 2008.
Although, a fourth season did not come to fruition, the story of the Avatar world continued in the form of a sequel, The Legend of Korra, which takes place 70 years after the events of Avatar: The Last Airbender.
However, according to Aaron Ehasz, an executive producer on Avatar: The Last Airbender, Season 4, if it happened, would have focused on Azula’s redemption following her defeat at the end of Season 3, with Zuko helping his sister try to get away from her pain and her past sins. He revealed this plan in a 2019 X (formerly known as Twitter) thread. Here, he also mentioned that he had believed for a time that a fourth season would come along, that is, until M. Night Shyamalan entered the picture with the critically panned Avatar: The Last Airbender live-action movie.
Ehasz, soon clarified that Shyamalan wanted Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 4 to happen instead of the movie, but that series creators Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko wanted to focus on the live-action movie.
The voice cast of Avatar: The Last Airbender includes Zach Tyler, Mae Whitman, Jack De Sena Dante Basco, Dee Bradley Baker, Michaela Jill Murphy, Mako, Grey DeLisle, and Olivia Hack. Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko are the creators of the series.
Why Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 4 isn’t happening?
Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 4 isn’t coming out, because as mentioned above, the series came to an end after three seasons.
The official synopsis for Avatar: The Last Airbender reads:
“In a war-torn world of elemental magic, a young boy reawakens to undertake a dangerous mystic quest to fulfill his destiny as the Avatar, and bring peace to the world.”
