Netflix has come out with its adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender, an animated fantasy action television series that aired on Nickelodeon from February 2005 to July 2008. Serena Williams, who is a self-proclaimed fan of the original show, was roped in by Netflix to feature in the promotional for its adaptation.

The 30-second promotional debuted during the NBA All-Star Game on 20 February, and featured Williams on the tennis court entering her ‘Avatar state.’

The 23-time Grand Slam singles winner also tuned into watch the first episode of Netflix’s adaptation with husband Ohanian. While Williams’ excitement was palpable, Ohanian was wearing a VR headset, and his wife doubted his enthusiasm for the show. The entrepreneur shrugged off his wife’s doubt, cheekily calling it disrespectful.
