Netflix’s live-action reimagining of Avatar: The Last Airbender is back for season 2, which introduces one of the most beloved characters in the series, the Earth Bender, Toph. Played by Miyah Cech, Toph is a powerful Earth Bender who joins Team Avatar and becomes one of its core members. Returning for the second season are Aang (Gordon Cormier), Katara (Kiawentiio) and Sokka (Ian Ousley), as well as Prince Zuko (Dallas Liu), Paul Sun-Hyung Kim (Uncle Iroh), Fire Lord Ozai (Daniel Dae Kim) and more.
Netflix Releases Action-Packed Season 2 Teaser Trailer
The teaser trailer is full of action and stunning visuals that look like a step up from an already strong first season. It’s a natural progression that reflects the story, as our heroes gain experience and grow in power.
For many fans, “Book 2” is one of the most favored seasons of the animated series, and it’s definitely possible that the live-action version will be the same.
Aang’s Growth Spurts: Netflix Addresses the Cast Aging Issue
Of course, it’s hard to ignore that between seasons, our Avatar, Gordon Cormier, has grown up quite a bit in real life. It’s the reality that all stories starring young kids have to manage, and I had a good laugh at the self aware way Netflix addressed the elephant in the room on social media:
Netflix is certainly going to have to consider expediting production of future seasons so that the cast doesn’t age out. Given the studio’s experience with the Stranger Things cast, I’m sure they will be prepared.
Check out the full teaser trailer below. Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 2 releases in 2026!
AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER 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 terrifying Fire Nation. In S2, 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.
