Avatar: The Last Airbender is gearing up for its second season with a change in leadership. Albert Kim, the third showrunner to take the reins from creators Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, is stepping down from the Netflix live-action series. Co-executive producer Christine Boylan and exec producer Jabbar Raisani, both brought on board by Kim, will now lead the show as its third showrunners for the upcoming second and third seasons.
Sources indicate that Kim's primary goal was to establish the groundwork for the first season of Avatar: The Last Airbender after stepping into the shoes of the franchise's beloved creators. With the series' lengthy production timeline — Netflix greenlit the project in 2018, the original creators departed in late 2020, and the show premiered in February 2024 — Kim is reportedly ready to explore new opportunities.
