Netflix‘s Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 2 is right around the corner, and with the new season comes a wave of changes, especially for Aang, played by Gordon Cormier. Fans can expect to see an older, possibly wiser Aang, as the young actor has grown considerably since viewers last saw him in the first season. And with these changes come new developments, new problems, and new friends, including the introduction of Toph, played by Miyako.
A new Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 2 featurette takes fans behind the scenes of Toph’s live-action debut, featuring Miyako and the show’s creative team. “For Aang, Toph is like a really mean older sister, but younger and way stronger,” says Cormier in the video. Watch it above.
“It’s definitely going to be a lot more action-packed and emotional,” Cormier told Tudum. “There are going to be some scenes that push the audience to tears, but also make them laugh.”
When does Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 2 come out?
Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 2 will stream seven episodes on June 25, 2026, down from eight in its first season.
Is Netflix’s Avatar: The Last Airbender renewed?
After the Season 1 drop, Netflix announced that the series had been renewed for Seasons 2 and 3 and that Season 3 would be its last. The classic Nickelodeon animated series was also only three seasons long.
“We didn’t really know if we were getting Season 2 or Season 3,” said Cormier. “And now having both, it’s really awesome knowing I’m going to be able to see them again for a while.”

What happens in Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 2?
The second season will pick up after the action-packed events of Season 1’s finale, which ended in victory for Aang, Katara, and Sokka but also delivered a powerful omen in an end-credits scene. The core trio stopped the Fire Nation from destroying the Northern Water Tribe, but that battle was staged as a distraction for the young teens as a larger war was waged miles away. Princess Azula conquered the Earth Kingdom city of Omashu, which had remained out of the Fire Nation’s clutches until that point. King Bumi is now their prisoner.
The fated Sozin’s Comet is shown on the horizon in the Season 1 finale end-credits scene, which is a sign that even more danger is ahead for the heroes. The cliffhanger will have to be addressed when Season 2 picks up.
