Avatar: The Last Airbender is a show that has stood the test of time, as beloved today as it was when it aired on Nickelodeon back in the 2000s. The first season of Netflix's live-action remake wasn't received quite as warmly, but the cast and crew put on a good show, and it was fun seeing those classic episodes presented in a new way.

And it was good enough that Netflix renewed the show for two more seasons, which will allow executive producers Christine Boylan and Jabbar Raisani to tell the story in full; there are also three seasons of the original show. “We’re looking forward to working with all of our actors again and digging into the deeper, more complicated relationships that develop as their journey continues in Season 2,” Boylan and Raisani told Tudum. “We are going to show the real-world versions of iconic scenes from the original,...

It's not often that a live-action adaptation of another piece of work is done right, but with the live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender series, Netflix might have just struck the perfect balance between staying true to the beloved animated series and adding a fresh, cinematic touch.

After premiering its first season in February 2024, the adventure fantasy series was quickly renewed for two additional installments only a month later. However, fans may have to wait longer than expected to reunite with Aang, Katara, Sokka, and the rest of the beloved characters, as Avatar: The Last Airbender season 2 has likely been delayed to next year. We've come to this conclusion after Netflix's 2025 lineup didn't include the highly anticipated second season.

The cast of Netflix's Avatar: The Last Airbender season 2 will feature familiar faces from its predecessor, combined with some new performers and characters. By the time of The Last Airbender season 1's ending, Aang had pushed back the Fire Nation attack on the Northern Water Tribe and was planning to set off for the Earth Kingdom to find an Earthbending teacher. This would come as he honed his Airbending and Waterbending, harnessing the powers granted to him as one of The Last Airbender's many Avatars, the masters of all four elements.

This ending set up the story perfectly for The Last Airbender season 2, with Netflix confirming two more installments of the show to coincide with the three seasons of Nickelodeon's original animated series. Where there is a new season, there will also be new stories, locations, action set pieces, and characters, with the latter element bringing new cast members too.

Netflix has revealed a new look at their ongoing live-action adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender (2024) at Netflix Geeked Week.

Today, they announced the official start of production on Season 2 with a new video. The brief footage reveals our first look at the beloved character Toph Beifong, the young earthbending master who becomes a key part of Aangs group. As well as this first look, it has also now been revealed that You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah and Beef star Miya Cech has been cast in the role. You can check out the clop below.

Avatar: The Last Airbender season two is officially in production. Netflix announced the news with a teaser video, and revealed the actress cast in the highly anticipated role of earthbender Toph.

First released in February, Netflix’s live-action adaptation of Nickelodeon’s beloved animated series was renewed for two more seasons in March.

The story, like its animated original, follows Aang (Gordon Cormier), the young Avatar, as he learns to master the four elements (Water, Earth, Fire, Air) to restore balance to a world threatened by the Fire Nation. Kiawentiio plays his friend Katara, and Ian Ousley her brother Sokka.

For season two, Netflix announced Miya Cech will play Toph, an earthbender who joins the crew. The video released Thursday does not reveal her face, but implies her earthbending powers.

The open casting call for Toph in Netflix’s second season of Avatar: The Last Airbender is making some lovely headlines in the tabloids. Additionally, they’re pioneering inclusivity by encouraging blind or low-vision actors for Toph’s role.

With Season 1 debuting to a torrent of excitement & securing a renewal for additional seasons, this live-action adaptation of the beloved 2005 Nickelodeon series continues to spark conversations—albeit with some trepidation from fans. Remember how Toph’s original character enthralled us with her wit, and, of course, her prodigious earthbending prowess at just 12 years old?

In the final episode of Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 2, Azula’s lightning strike takes down Aang, nearly killing him. Before Azula could finish her job, Iroh facilitated the Gaang’s escape, allowing Katara to treat his wounds using her Waterbending skills. However, the Fire Nation believed that the last Airbender was gone for good this time. In the first episode of Season 3, Azula gives credit to Zuko for taking down Aang when they met their father Fire Lord Ozai.

Avatar director Giancarlo Volpe revealed that it was Azula’s evil plan that motivated her to give Zuko the credit. Volpe shared that Azula was actually passing the blame as she knew about the possibility that Aang may reemerge after getting healed by Katara.

Avatar: The Last Airbender had its second live-action outing with Netflix, taking significant liberties that caused the show to deviate from the source material. One such difference from the source material introduced Azula very early in the story, at a time when she was nowhere to be found in the original.

While fans of the show are largely upset by the change, given that it changes the dynamic between the characters of Azula and Zuko and leaves them lesser for it, Zuko actor Dallas Liu was excited that the writers were able to pull off the rivalry depicted on screen between the siblings, without them having to interact.

Netflix recently came out with the live-action adaptation of the beloved Nickelodeon animated show Avatar: The Last Airbender. The promotional material and trailers of the show impressed audiences and they were expecting great things from the series after M. Night Shyamalan’s dismal 2010 adaptation. The series was released on Netflix on February 22, 2024.

A still from Netflix’s Avatar: The Last Airbender

While the show was on top of Netflix charts and watched by many people, fans of the original show were underwhelmed by the adaptation’s lack of key elements that were integral to the original show’s narrative. A new report has now come out about the original creators of the show initially being part of crafting the adaptation but later leaving the show.

Daniel Dae Kim is the reason why Avatar: The Last Airbender feels like a serious series rather than a mundane fantasy one. With Netflix bringing out the big guns, Daniel Dae Kim has been cast in the role of Fire Lord Ozai in Avatar: The Last Airbender, and boy are we scared!

Boasting a serious look, Dae Kim is everything that a real-life Fire Lord Ozai would possess. From having an incredible body to the perfect hair, what makes Daniel Dae Kim’s Ozai even more charming is that the actor was inspired by real-life politicians to play the role of the tyrant in the Netflix series!

Amid several backlashes that the live-action adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender faced, Elizabeth Yu was among the first to face early criticisms from fans. Particularly, fans claimed that physically the actor was far from resembling Azula in Nickelodeon’s animated action-adventure.

However, Yu was far from taking all the criticisms on her shoulders that would easily intimidate someone else in her place, she doesn’t give a damn. The Fire Nation princess’ response to the criticism was as fiery as her character appeared to be on screen.

Elizabeth Yu Doesn’t Care About The Criticism Of Her Elizabeth Yu in Avatar: The Last Airbender

Netflix’s Avatar: The Last Airbender has been largely well-received. This is even though fans were initially hesitant because of how the previous live-action version has turned out. While there were many things to love, one thing stood out. Which is the casting of actors of color in the series as characters who have Asian and Indigenous heritage.

Avatar: The Last Airbender

Yet it seems not every fan request can be fulfilled for some faction of the huge fandom the mythos found the casting of Elizabeth Yu problematic. Starring as Princess Azula, an antagonist, fans thought she looked too young and innocent to be playing such a role. Yet Yu is unbothered and unfazed by the criticism.

Elizabeth Yu as Azula in Avatar: The Last Airbender

Avatar: The Last Airbender has been a pretty impressive show as far as live-action projects go.

Avatar: The Last Airbender actor Dallas Liu suggests seasons 2 and 3 of the live-action show need more than 8 episodes for proper pacing. Liu believes additional episodes will prevent the narrative from feeling rushed, allowing key moments to receive proper screen time. The animated version of Avatar: The Last Airbender became more serialized in seasons 2 and 3, making more episodes in seasons 2 and 3 of the live-action adaptation essential for pacing.

Avatar: The Last Airbender actor Dallas Liu explains why the second and third seasons of the live-action show need more episodes. Liu plays Prince Zuko on the show, opposite co-star Gordon Cormier, Kiawentiio, Ian Ousley, Elizabeth Yu, and Daniel Dae-Kim. Avatar: The Last Airbender season 1 aired on Netflix last month and has since been renewed for season 2 and season 3.

Speaking with The Direct, Liu says that Avatar: The Last Airbender seasons 2 and 3 will need more episodes than the first season. Liu said that...

Dallas Liu hopes Netflix's Avatar live-action delves into Zuko's backstory further in season 2 for more depth and character development. By exploring Zuko and Azula's childhood and their mother's influence, the show can provide insight into what shaped these complex characters. Liu's desire for more focus on family history indicates the potential for future seasons to expand on key relationships and add depth to the storyline.

Avatar: The Last Airbender star Dallas Liu reveals how he hopes the Netflix live-action show will dive into Zuko's family history in season 2. The fantasy series is an adaptation of the beloved Nickelodeon animated series, which follows an Air Nomad and Avatar, Aang. He must master the four elements as the world's last hope to stand up against the Fire Nation's devastating conquest. Liu portrays Prince Zuko, heir to the Fire Nation throne, who hopes his capture of the fabled Avatar will...

Ozai's early debut in Netflix's Avatar: The Last Airbender adds depth to the show, enhancing character arcs like Zuko's and showcasing family dynamics. The Fire Nation scenes establish Zuko's potential for good, showing compassion and strength as a leader amidst family conflict. Daniel Dae Kim's portrayal of Ozai as a cold, tyrannical figure sets the tone for future flashbacks and original scenes in the live-action series.

Daniel Dae Kim opens up about the early debut of Fire Lord Ozai in Netflix's Avatar: The Last Airbender, explaining how the character's earlier appearance adds depth to the live-action show. The 2024 fantasy show is an adaptation of the beloved Nickelodeon animated series, which saw a young boy blessed with mastery over all four elements take a stand against the conquest of the Fire Nation.

While Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, who starred in The Mandalorian (2019) and Kim’s Convenience (2016), played General Iroh in The Last Airbender, reportedly got a minimal salary for every episode. The South Korean-born Canadian actor and television host is best known for his roles as Randy Ko in Train 48 (2003–2005) and as family patriarch Appa in the play Kim’s Convenience (2011) and its television adaptation (2016–2021).

Netflix's live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender makes key changes to Sozin's Comet, adapting the celestial event in a new way. Sozin's Comet is a driving force in the backstory of the Hundred-Year War, with Fire Lord Sozin using its power to launch a devastating attack on the Air Nomads. The live-action series remains faithful to elements of the original while tweaking the future importance of Sozin's Comet.

Netflix's live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender series teases Sozin's Comet in its premiere episode, but it also makes some massive changes to the plot device. The fantasy drama adapts Michael Dante Dimartino and Bryan Konietzko's animated Nickelodeon series of the same name, though Netflix's Atla has received backlash for its worst changes to the source material. With fewer episodes to work with, Avatar: The Last Airbender season 1 cuts and condenses plot points in order to make the over-arching narrative work. Of course,...

It has been a week since Avatar: The Last Airbender live-action series premiered. The fans had mixed feelings about the series, especially after the last live-action film failed horribly. But with the rising popularity of live-action series, there was hope that Netflix would bring out the best. Fortunately, everyone loved the series, and it is fair to say that people have no more doubts.

After becoming popular worldwide, the cast of Avatar: The Last Airbender has been going around and doing interviews and questionnaires. During one such questionnaire, Fire Prince Zuko actor Dallas James Liu mentioned one character who would always be one step ahead of Zuko. The mentioned character is Uncle Iroh. There is no way Zuko could defeat him since he is too powerful.

Netflix’s Avatar: The Last Airbender is a live-action adaptation series of the original animated series of the same name from 2005. Encompassing the story of Aang the Avatar who needs to master the four elemental powers to fight and save the world at war, it stars Gordon Cormier, Kiawentiio Tarbell, Ian Ousley, Dallas James Liu, and Elizabeth Yu as Aang, Katara, Sokka, Zuko, and Azula.

Out of all these characters, one of the most powerful ones is none other than Zuko. A firebender and a Fire Nation Royal, the character nicknamed ‘Zuzu’ by Azula and Kiyi even goes on to become Aang’s firebending mentor, determined to end the war. However, despite being so powerful, Dallas James Liu still believes Zuko would be defeated by one other powerful character: Iroh.

The show Avatar: The Last Airbender takes audiences to a world where the world is divided into fire, earth, water, and airbenders, who have the ability to control these elements with their will. The series shows the clash between these nations, field by the Fire Nation’s quest for world domination, and the Avatar’s quest to stop the war.

While the four abilities are the most known powers in the universe, there are other subsets of these powers that the members of these tribes have developed. One of the most dangerous of these is bloodbending, which is used by certain water benders and is classified as a dark art. However, a Reddit user theorized if earthbenders could ever control a person’s bones by controlling the minerals within the bones, making it an even scarier dark art.

From Henry Cavill to Daniel Craig, it is not uncommon to find stars of Hollywood turn out to be extreme geeks when it comes to gaming. Many of them have stated how it helps them to wind down and relax after a long day of shooting for a film, and it is probably the closest we will ever get to relating with these superstars in real life.

One such rising star, Elizabeth Yu, who stars in the recent Avatar: The Last Airbender live-action series, has revealed to fans how she has recently got into the hobby of gaming, courtesy of IGN on YouTube. She engaged in a conversation talking about what video game titles she has played and is currently playing, and her answers filled the community with joy.

When Ken Leung was brought in to audition for the role of Commander Zhao in Avatar: The Last Airbender, Netflix kept everything so secret that the actor didn’t even know what he was auditioning for. But when he found out it was for Avatar, he confessed that he thought it was for James Cameron’s Avatar sequels.

“When I first heard it was Avatar, I thought I as going to be blue,” Leung told Deadline, adding that he wasn’t aware of the original animated series at all, but considered it a good thing for his performance. “Looking back, I kind of love that I came in blank,” he said. “Because when you have ideas, you can kind of… corrupt a pure process. When you come in blank, things will come into it that will inform your playing of it, in a way that it might not if you...

At the start of my Zoom interview with “Avatar: The Last Airbender” star Dallas Liu, I can’t help showing off a mug that pictures his character Zuko, voiced by Dante Basco in the original animated series. I expect a polite laugh or other acknowledgement of his cartoon namesake, but Liu surprises me:

“Lee from the tea shop!” he says without missing a beat.

Like “Avatar” showrunner Albert Kim, Liu knows Michael Dante Dimartino and Bryan Konietzko’s Nickelodeon series inside and out. “Lee from the tea shop” is a Season 2 reference — even this superfan had to think for a beat before remembering Zuko’s go-to fugitive alias — and just one example of how much care has gone into bringing the beloved series to life.

“I really wanted to make sure that...

Albert Kim needs you to know that he is an “Avatar: The Last Airbender” superfan.

The writer and executive producer of Netflix’s live-action retelling of the Nickelodeon cartoon took on the role of showrunner after creators Michael Dante Dimartino and Bryan Konietzko exited the series — but he was already part of the writers room and a longtime “Avatar” fan before that.

“I did work with [Dimartino and Konietzko] for a short period, and we overlapped while we were here and I got along great with them,” Kim told IndieWire ahead of “Avatar”s February 22 premiere. “I was excited just as a fan to be able to dig in and ask my own nerdy fan questions about Zuko’s mom and who Aang’s parents might be, and all the fun stuff fans like to talk about.

Netflix’s new live-action adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender brings Aang and his friend to the streaming service to retell the story of the animated show’s first season, bringing with it high production values, a cast of big-name actors and also the classic tale of a reluctant hero out of time trying to find the strength to battle the tyranny of an empire, all the traditional stuff that we loved from the original series.

Warning! This article contains spoilers for Netflix's Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Aang, Katara, Sokka, and the power of the spirits defend the Northern Water Tribe in the season 1 finale against the Fire Nation siege to test Aang's Avatar mastery and fulfill his character arc. Kyoshi's vision of the Northern Water Tribe in flames comes true, with Zhao attacking the Ocean and Moon Spirits to gain the upper hand in the battle. Fire Nation's attack on the North Pole diverts attention from Princess Azula's capture of Omashu, setting up future storylines such as Fire Nation war balloons and the betrayal of Zuko by his family.

In the clip, Prince Zuko (Dallas Liu) unleashes his firebending skills against some Earth Kingdom guards holding his Uncle Iroh (Paul Sun-Hyung Lee) hostage, before the duo partner up against their adversaries. Despite putting up a fight, the earthbenders are ultimately overpowered by their Fire Nation foes, with one defeated guard insisting Iroh finish the job. Instead, Iroh chooses to spare his life, solemnly lamenting, "We've all seen enough death."
