Netflix seems to be on a roll with their live-action adaptations recently. While the streaming giant is known for its wide array of films and series, they have also decided to jump into live-action remakes. Following the success of their last adaptation, One Piece, the media company has revealed their plans to do it again with Avatar: The Last Airbender.

After giving fans hope for a new Avatar: The Last Airbender series in 2018, Netflix finally gave the world another update on the series by giving a peek at the new Fire Nation characters.

Months after the success of One Piece, Netflix announced its plans for the much-awaited Avatar: The Last Airbender. In a post on X (formerly Twitter) the streaming giant gave their followers a first look at the Fire Nation cast as well as a few stills from the series. In a rather fiery new look, images of Fire Lord Ozai, General Iroh, Commander Zhao, and Princess Azula have swept the internet and put to rest any doubts that fans had about the production.

The Fire Nation cast now officially consists of Lost star, Daniel Dae Kim, Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, Rush Hour‘s Ken Leung, and Elizabeth Yu. While these are the latest members to be announced, the leads were cast back in June with pictures of the cast members playing Aang, Katara, and Sokka. As of yet, the streamer has not announced an official date for the 8-episode show. However, they have promised fans that the series will premiere sometime in 2024.
