History Trivia / AvatarTheLastAirbender2024

* SelfAdaptation: Mike and Bryan were initally involved as showrunners until departing due to CreativeDifferences with Netflix before production began. That said, they wrote two episodes prior to their departures, which was "Aang" and "Masks".

* WorkingTitle: The project initially started production under the name "Trade Winds"; it was changed to "Blue Dawn" a couple months later. None of the young actors knew that it was an Avatar project during the audition process, as they were given scripts with altered character names and scenarios (Aang was "Alan", Zuko was "Juno", the Fire Nation was a "company", etc.) to maintain secrecy.

** Kiawentiio (Katara) and Elizabeth Yu (Azula) [[https://youtu.be/qJEmEmEzSPU?si=HejneXZBXrQvNkTd revealed]] in an interview with ''Series/TheKellyClarksonShow'' that they're also fans of the original series, having watched it when they were younger before being cast.

** In the German dub, David Turba reprises his role as Sokka from the original series.

** Despite playing Ozai's older brother Iroh, Creator/PaulSunHyungLee is actually four years younger than Creator/DanielDaeKim.

* DyeingForYourArt: Gordon Cormier shaved his head for his role as Aang. In fact, the actors who played the Air Nomads in the first act of the first episode either had their head shaved or in case of women, cut part of their hair to show off their foreheads with the arrow tattoos.

* RoleReprise: Creator/JamesSie reprises his role as the Cabbage Merchant from the animated series. He's one of four actors from the original series to be in this show and the only one confirmed to play the same character; Creator/ClydeKusatsu played several bit players in the original's first season and has an UnspecifiedRoleCredit in the first episode of the remake, possibly the same Air Monk he played in "The Storm". Creator/DanielDaeKim and Creator/GeorgeTakei voiced major one-shot characters and are now Fire Lord Ozai and Koh the Face Stealer respectively.

* RoleReprise: Creator/JamesSie reprises his role as the Cabbage Merchant from the animated series and is the only surviving cast member to do so as of the end of the first season.

** Downplayed with Azula; her actress, Elizabeth Yu, was 19-20 during filming despite the character being only 14, but she has enough of a baby face to [[OlderThanTheyLook pass for her canonical age]] arguably better than her animated counterpart.

* CreatorBacklash: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. Showrunner Albert Kim has mentioned that like many fans, he's not fond of the heavy expository dialogue present in the first episode, but saw it as a necessary evil to help non-fans understand important concepts about the show.
