Knight Edge Media<\/a>, the upcoming season will feature seven episodes instead of the originally planned eight.

\n\tEpisode 1: Somewhere Safe (Christine Boylan)

\n\tEpisode 3: City of Walls and Secrets (Helen Shang)

With a slightly condensed episode count but longer total runtime, Season 2 promises even more adventure, intrigue, and world-building for fans of the beloved series.\u00a0Season 2 will adapt the Book Two: Earth storyline, picking up where Season 1 left off with the Gaang\u2019s journey through the Earth Kingdom.<\/p>\n
“In Season 2, after a bittersweet victory saving the Northern Water Tribe from the invading Fire Nation, Aang (Gordon Cormier), Katara (Kiawentiio), and Sokka (Ian Ousley) regroup and set off on a mission to convince the elusive Earth King to aid in their battle against fearsome Fire Lord Ozai (Daniel Dae Kim),” Netflix’s synopsis for Season 2 reads.<\/p>\n
Since Netflix\u2019s live-action series has far fewer episodes than the original animated show, the writers will likely condense and reshape certain events. This may also explain why some episode titles appear to be out of sequence.<\/p>\n
Fans of the original Nickelodeon animated series can look forward to the live-action introduction of Toph Beifong, the blind Earthbending prodigy and beloved fan favorite, played by Miya Cech.<\/p>\n
Season 2 also welcomes several new cast members, including:<\/p>\n
\n\tChin Han (Mortal Kombat,\u00a0Skyscraper) as Long Feng
\n\tHoa Xuande (The Sympathizer,\u00a0Top of the Lake: China Girl) as Professor Zei
\n\tJustin Chien (The Brothers Sun,\u00a0The Great Leap) as King Kuei
\n\tAmanda Zhou (Spinning Out,\u00a0The Handmaid\u2019s Tale) as Joo Dee
\n\tCrystal Yu (Doctor Who,\u00a0Good Omens) as Lady Beifong
\n\tKelemete Misipeka (Sons of Thunder) as The Boulder
\n\tLourdes Faberes (The Sandman,\u00a0Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre) as General Sung
\n\tRekha Sharma (Yellowjackets,\u00a0Battlestar Galactica) as Amita
