Netflix’s ‘Avatar: The Last Airbender’ Changes Showrunners Again


Albert Kim, who replaced creators Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, is handing over the series to colleagues Christine Boylan and Jabbar Raisani.

Given the long turnaround time in crafting the series — Netflix ordered it in 2018, the creators left in late 2020 and the show didn’t debut until February 2024 — sources say Kim was ready to move on to new opportunities. Kim, whose résumé include Sleepy Hollow and Leverage, will remain credited as an exec producer on Avatar: The Last Airbender as he is expected to sign a development deal with Disney’s 20th Television. Kim, who will develop new projects Disney after his Netflix pact expired, will join the Disney+ series Percy Jackson as an exec producer alongside Jon Steinberg, Dan Shotz and Craig Silverstein, the latter of whom he worked with on The CW’s Nikita.
