Stronger than One Piece

Remake of the cult animated series by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko (released in 2005 on Nickelodeon), Avatar: The Last Airbender follows the adventures of Aang, the young Avatar, as he learns to master the four elements (water, earth, fire and air) to restore balance to a world threatened by the terrifying Fire Nation.

To compare, One Pieceanother Netflix series adapting a popular live-action manga/anime, accumulated 18.5 million views when it launched on the streaming platform in August 2023. As a reminder, “views” are calculated by dividing the total hours of viewing a program by its duration.

This therefore positions the start ofAvatar: The Last Airbender ahead of the adventures of Monkey D. Luffy (surpassing its audiences by 15%), and proves once again that subscribers to the streaming giant have a real appetite for this type of adaptation.

One Piece occupied Netflix’s Top 10 for three weeks, and remained on that ranking for a total of eight weeks. If Avatar: The Last Airbender continues its momentum, this will have a determining role regarding its future beyond this first season.

The show currently occupies first place on the podium for the most viewed English-language series on Netflix in 92 countries, including France where it is ahead of A day And AlRawabi School for Girls.

Given this start and the popularity of the franchise Avatarit would not be surprising to see Netflix decide to continue the quest of Aang, Sokka and Katara in a season 2.
