As someone that has worked on this, I’m pretty disappointed. This was MADE to be experienced in theaters. Also, my country doesn’t have Paramount+ so people here are just gonna end up pirating it instead of paying to see it in theaters like make it make sense 😭
The upcoming feature The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender will bypass a theatrical debut in theaters in October 2026 and premiere on Paramount+ as the streamer becomes the exclusive home of all animated content from Avatar Studios.

If Stranger Things was remade today and set the same number of years ago as S1 it would be in 2003 and instead of a resurgence of a Kate Bush song it would be Hoobastank, the kids would dress up for Halloween like Neo and Trinity. No I can’t prove this is actually correct I am not going to do math.
