Netflix inspiring Nickelodeon to create Avatar Studios is a bit ironic considering Netflix itself had courted DiMartino and Konietzko to develop a live-action “Avatar: The Last Airbender” series. The demand for the new show was at such a fever pitch by the time launched that it propelled ‘iCarly’ to be, if not the most successful show on Paramount+, one of the most successful shows.” Once we knew we had it going, we licensed just a season or two of ‘iCarly’ to Netflix and it exploded with new kids discovering it for the first time, and fans who grew up on it rediscovered it.

“We knew we were going to do a reboot of ‘iCarly,’ it just took us a while to put it together.

“The second example, which actually has paid off this month, is ‘iCarly,'” Robbins said. Licensing “Avatar” to Netflix paid off in two ways: It proved Nickelodeon should invest in the expansion of the franchise and it drove viewers to ViacomCBS’ streaming platform Paramount+ in order to stream “The Legend of Korra.” As Robbins revealed, it’s not the only time the new streamer got a significant boost thanks to Netflix.

“‘Avatar: The Last Airbender’ was a series that ran for three seasons on Nickelodeon and was never a huge show, but had an amazing following. It was this Netflix-created surge in “Last Airbender” interest that drove ViacomCBS and Nickelodeon to go all in on the franchise expansion. The show experienced a boom in popularity during the pandemic when all three seasons became available to stream on Netflix starting May 15, 2020. Fans of Nickelodeon’s “ Avatar: The Last Airbender” got extraordinary news in February when ViacomCBS announced it was bringing creators Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko back to expand the franchise with new series and films via the creation of Avatar Studios.
