Netflix has officially released the first teasers for its live-action adaptations of “One Piece” and “Avatar: The Last Airbender.” These incredibly popular franchises are the latest manga and anime to be transformed into live-action series by Netflix. While the streaming giant has not had the best track record with adapting successful Japanese franchises (we’re looking at you, “Cowboy Bebop”), it hopes that “One Piece” and “Avatar: The Last Airbender” will be more successful.
Netflix has confirmed the release dates for both series. “One Piece” will set sail on August 31, 2023, while the live-action adaptation of “Avatar: The Last Airbender” will join the streaming service sometime in 2024. At Tudum 2023, Netflix’s global fan event, the first footage of the “One Piece” adaptation was unveiled. Viewers can watch the trailer below.
A 30-second teaser for “Avatar: The Last Airbender” was also released. Unlike its anime counterpart, the teaser does not contain major footage from the forthcoming TV series. Instead, it teases the symbols of the anime’s four elements-based tribes: earth, wind, fire, and water. The teaser can be viewed below as well.
For those unfamiliar with the series, “One Piece” is one of Japan’s best-selling manga series of all time. It follows the story of Monkey D Luffy, a young adventurer who dreams of becoming the King of the Pirates. “Avatar: The Last Airbender” was originally an animated fantasy TV show set in a world where people can manipulate the elements. It centers around Aang, the last survivor of the Air Nomads, and his quest to end the Fire Nation’s war against the other tribes.
It remains to be seen whether these TV adaptations will earn a spot among the best Netflix shows. The live-action “Cowboy Bebop” series had high hopes but ultimately fell short with negative reviews and lackluster fan support, resulting in its cancellation after one season. Let’s hope “One Piece” and “Avatar: The Last Airbender” can fare better.
