It’s rare to find a series that knocks it out of the park in nearly every category, but somehow Nickelodeon’s Avatar: The Last Airbender became one of the most beloved franchises in the world. Avatar is a fantasy series featuring strong world-building, fantastic characters, and an inspirational story that defined a generation. The show follows Aang and his friends as they go on a life-changing journey to save the world from the reign of Fire Lord Ozai. The series is an anime-inspired fantasy adventure and blends both eastern and western philosophy into an action-packed series anyone can enjoy.

Avatar: The Last Airbender is one-of-a-kind, but if you’re looking for more adventures and lore-filled worlds to explore, we have nine other shows for you to check out after the credits roll on Avatar.

If you just finished Avatar: The Last Airbender, then the next thing you should watch is its sequel series, The Legend of Korra. Here, we follow Avatar Korra, the successor to Avatar Aang. The world is long past the 100-year war, and Korra must learn what it means to be the Avatar in the modern age. Here, the new Team Avatar faces off against anarchists, terrorists, and the spiritual imbalances that plague this new era.

The Legend of Korra doesn’t follow in the footsteps of Avatar and instead forges its own path. One that is equally as engaging and deserves more recognition. Following a series like Avatar is incredibly difficult, but Korra finds a way to stand out regardless.

Humans and Elves are at war in this world, and the only ones who can usher in an era of peace are the princes of the human world, Callum and Ezran, and an Elf assassin named Rayla.

The Dragon Prince is written by Aaron Ehasz, one of the prominent writers behind Avatar: The Last Airbender. You can feel that same Avatar DNA in this series. The characters, world-building, and magic system are different but still familiar. The Dragon Prince is a fantasy epic that leaves you wanting more.

The Star Wars Universe is vast, and The Clone Wars has everything we love about it. Here, we’re following Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Ahsoka Tano - three Jedi trying to bring balance to the galaxy. Showrunner Dave Filoni left Avatar: The Last Airbender after Book One and created this fantastic Star Wars prequel.

This series is set between Star Wars: Attack of the Clones and Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith. With that said, The Clone Wars is a series that stands on its own, and the long-form series approach means it explores the galaxy in a way the films never could. Giving us a chance to dig deeper into the lives of Anakin and Obi-Wan and introducing us to unforgettable new characters like Ahsoka makes The Clone Wars one of the best stories Star Wars has to offer.
