The opening weekend of Avatar: The Last Airbender drew an impressive 21.2 million viewers on Netflix, marking a 15% increase compared to the debut of another successful anime adaptation, One Piece.
The strong viewership numbers have virtually guaranteed a second season for Avatar: The Last Airbender, with production already underway before the show's release. Netflix's commitment to the series is evident, as they are actively working on improving aspects of the show for the upcoming season. The show's EP and director have expressed their enthusiasm for the potential of a second season and their plans to incorporate elements that were missed in the initial episodes.
While Avatar: The Last Airbender may not have received as high critical acclaim as One Piece, it has resonated well with audiences, who have appreciated the show's adaptation of the original animated series. The anticipation for the second season is heightened by the prospect of fan-favorite character Toph making her live-action debut, adding to the excitement surrounding the show's future.
Overall, the success of Avatar: The Last Airbender on Netflix signals a promising future for the series, with the potential to become one of the streaming platform's most successful live-action animation adaptations.
