The TV series was a blend of Japanese anime and American cartoon and followed Aang, a 12-year-old boy and his friends in a land where people were able to control one of the four elements: air, water, earth and fire. Aang was the Avatar of his generation, a chosen one who could control all the four elements. It was his duty to bring peace and unity to the world that had been thrown into upheaval by the Fire Lord's war with three nations - The Northern and Southern Water Tribes, the Earth Kingdom and the Air Nomads.

Netflix released John Staub's concept art for the 'reimagined, live-action' series back in 2018 and at that time the announcement had received mixed reactions from the fans of the original series that saw the TV series during their childhood.
