Variety reports that Jabbar Raisani (Lost in Space) and Christine Boylan (Poker Face) have been tapped to executive produce the next two seasons of Netflix’s Avatar following former showrunner Albert Kim’s decision to step down.

Since then, Konietzko and DiMartino have gone back to Nickelodeon to create more of their own Avatar stories under the company’s Avatar Studios production banner. Raisani and Boylan have helped make some excellent episodes of television in the past, and it’s going to be interesting to see how Avatar changes under their leadership. And given the show’s iffy first season, those changes could be for the better.
