To the surprise of no one, but to my own personal dismay, Netflix’s Avatar: The Last Airbender has been renewed for two more seasons.
Netflix announced today via its social media channels that “The Avatar will return” with the confirmation that two more seasons of the show are coming. Paired with this announcement as in image showing a blue arrow pointing towards a green symbol with a two in it, and a red, fiery symbol with a three in it, signifying the two seasons and referencing the fact that Aang learns earth bending and fire bending in their respective animated equivalents. Deadline reported that the two seasons will apparently be filmed back to back, to help deal with the fact that the main cast are kids and are growing quickly.
Outside of that, details are slim on what’s next. The second season will obviously introduce fan favourite character Toph Beifong, though there’s no word on casting for her character. It also hasn’t been confirmed how many episodes both seasons will have, but I’d expect them to be a similar length to the first one – Netflix doesn’t tend to have particularly long seasons when it comes to its more premium titles.
