Netflix’s AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER Season 2 Gets New Behind the Scenes Video and Premiere Date
Fans of Avatar: The Last Airbender finally have something concrete to circle on the calendar. Netflix has locked in the return of its live-action adaptation, and it’s coming sooner than you might expect.
Along with the date reveal, the streamer also dropped a fresh behind the scenes video that offers another look at what’s coming next, including one very important character fans have been waiting for.
Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 2 is set to premiere on June 25, landing two years and four months after the first season debuted. It’s been a bit of a wait, but the new footage suggests the scale and ambition have only grown.
The returning cast includes Gordon Cormier as Aang, Kiawentiio as Katara, Ian Ousley as Sokka, Dallas Liu as Zuko, Elizabeth Yu, Momona Tamada, and Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, with Maria Zhang and Daniel Dae Kim also back in the mix.
This season also introduces Miyako as Toph, the blind earthbender who quickly became a fan-favorite in the original animated series.
The newly released behind the scenes video gives fans a much better look at Toph than what was teased previously, and she already looks like she’s going to steal scenes.
There’s also a peek at Ba Sing Se, the massive Earth Kingdom capital, which appears to have been built out on an impressive scale for the series.
The story follows Aang, the last Airbender and current Avatar, as he works to master all four elements and restore balance to a world under threat from the Fire Nation.
Season 2 picks up after the group’s hard-fought victory at the Northern Water Tribe. Aang, Katara, and Sokka set out to find the Earth King and convince him to join their fight against Fire Lord Ozai, played by Kim.
With the introduction of Toph and the move into Earth Kingdom territory, this next chapter has the potential to really expand the world in exciting ways.
If the new footage is any indication, Netflix is leaning into the scope fans expect from this story while continuing to build out its live-action version of the beloved series.
Christine Boylan serves as executive producer and writer, with Jabbar Raisani directing and executive producing alongside Anu Menon, Amit Gupta, and Hiromi Kamata. Dan Lin and Ryan Halprin executive produce for Rideback, with Brendan Ferguson and Albert Kim also on board.
