Avatar: The Last Airbender is a live-action reimagining of the beloved Nickelodeon animated series. It follows Aang, 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. In Season 2, after a bittersweet victory saving the Northern Water Tribe from the invading Fire Nation, Avatar Aang, Katara, and Sokka regroup and set off on a mission to convince the elusive Earth King to aid in their battle against fearsome Fire Lord Ozai.
Christine Boylan (Poker Face, Once Upon a Time) serves as executive producer and writer. Jabbar Raisani (Lost in Space, Stranger Things) is executive producer and director, alongside directors Anu Menon, Amit Gupta and Hiromi Kamata.
Season 1 of Avatar: The Last Airbender made its Netflix debut on February 22, 2024 and, according to the streamer, was the number one English TV show with 41.1 million views in just the first 11 days. The series was number one in 76 countries and in the top 10 in 92. Just a month later, Netflix announced that Avatar: The Last Airbender had been renewed for Seasons 2 and 3, which will conclude the story.
“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,” executive producers Christine Boylan and Jabbar Raisani said. “We are going to show the real-world versions of iconic scenes from the original, and explore some of the stories that the animation didn’t. Mainly, we’re looking forward to seeing our gang all together again.”

Terry Chen (Lucky Star, Jessica Jones, House of Cards) as Jeong JeongDolly de Leon (Triangle of Sadness, Between the Temples, Ghostlight) as Lo and LiLily Gao (Blue Sun Palace, Twisted Metal, Slip) as UrsaMadison Hu (The Brothers Sun, The Boogeyman) as FeiDichen Lachman (Severance, Jurassic World: Dominion, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes) as Yangchen

IGN’s Avatar: The Last Airbender review returned a 7/10. We said: “The live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender series enriches the original story with meaningful new material, but its breakneck pacing, exposition-heavy dialogue, and hit-or-miss effects aren’t precisely in balance.”
