The first trailer for Avatar: The Last Airbender season 2 is here – and it's teases one hell of an introduction for a fan-favorite character.

"Seasons 2 and 3 are a lot more mature in theme than, say, season 1 was," showrunner Albert Kim previously said of the source material in an interview with IGN.

Avatar: The Last Airbender season 2 premieres sometime in 2026. While we wait, check out our picks of the best shows on Netflix for some further watchlist inspiration.
