As expected, Netflix’s live-action adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender – which originally aired as an animated series on Nickelodeon – has premiered to strong ratings. The eight-episode series has topped viewership charts in many countries, including the US, Singapore and Malaysia, and has racked up 21.2 million views in its opening weekend. By now, eagle-eyed fans would have noticed a familiar face sharing scenes with Gordon Cormier, the show’s star.
