Things We Saw Today: Avatar: The Last Airbender’s Head Writer Has a New Show Coming to Netflix & We Can’t Wait!

Aaron Ehasz, the head writer of Avatar: The Last Airbender has a new animated series coming to Netflix and it looks amazing. The synopsis describes “two human princes who forge an unlikely bond with the elfin assassin sent to kill them, embarking on an epic quest to bring peace to their warring lands.” Yes, that sounds like something we will be very into. Just check out this poster:

The series is slated for a September release, but if you just can’t wait that long, i09 noticed that the show will have its own panel at Comic-Con on July 21st.
