Netflix ‘Avatar: The Last Airbender’: Will There Be a Season 2?

The first season of Netflix’s live-action reimagining of ‘Avatar: The Last Airbender’ has wrapped up, leaving fans eager for more adventures in a potential second season. With a new cast featuring Gordon Cormier, Dallas Liu, Kiawentiio Tarbell, Ian Ousley and Daniel Dae Kim, the show closely follows the original plot, setting the stage for exciting developments.

While Netflix has not officially announced a second season yet, fans may need to exercise some patience as the streaming platform typically takes a few weeks to evaluate viewership before greenlighting future seasons. However, the show’s creators have hinted at plans to adapt later story arcs from the first season for potential future instalments.

Kiawentiio, who portrays Katara, expressed her hope for a continuation of the series into the second and third seasons, highlighting the vast potential for the show’s narrative progression. Showrunner Albert Kim explained the challenges of adapting the original series, which spanned three seasons covering a single calendar year, into a live-action format.

The team had to consider factors like the ageing of the actors and the passage of time between seasons.

Kim also revealed that they intentionally removed the “ticking clock” element associated with Sozin’s Comet from the first season to allow for more flexibility in storytelling across potential future seasons. He also shared his desire for specific character interactions and developments, including scenes with Uncle Iroh and addressing the succession issue.

Elizabeth Yu, who portrays Azula, expressed excitement about exploring her character’s complexities and iconic traits, while Ken Leung, who plays Commander Zhao, remains curious about his character’s fate in the reimagined series.
