‘Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender’ Officially Returns With New Release, But There’s a Catch

Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender is getting a 4K UHD SteelBook release after its debut on Paramount+, but promotional materials reportedly misidentified its director as M. Night Shyamalan. The mix-up matters because it appears to confuse the animated film with Shyamalan’s widely criticised 2010 live-action adaptation.

The animated film, directed by Lauren Montgomery, is set between the original series and The Legend of Korra and follows a grown-up Team Avatar. Its SteelBook is available to pre-order for US$45.99 ahead of a 9 February 2027 release; DVD and Blu-ray editions came out on 3 November 2026. The article reports Rotten Tomatoes scores of 90% from critics and 99% from audiences.
