Season one of Netflix’s live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender series was a great success. And we’re very excited to know that season two of the series is well underway. Although it might be some time before we see a new trailer or imagery from the series, Netflix has revealed some other fun information. We now officially have some new live-action casting information for important characters from Avatar: The Last Airbender season two. First up, our new friends from the Earth Kingdom. Book Two of Avatar: The Last Airbender is “Earth,” after all. But maybe we’ll see new season two cast information from other Avatar: The Last Airbender kingdoms and nations soon as well. For now, we’ll get inspired by what’s been revealed so far.
You can take a look below to see who has joined in the fun.
New Earth Kingdom Characters Cast for Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 2
Here is the full list of new characters joining us in the second season of live-action Avatar.
- Chin Han (Mortal Kombat, Skyscraper) plays “Long Feng”
- Hoa Xuande (The Sympathizer, Top of the Lake: China Girl) as “Professor Zei”
- Justin Chien (The Brothers Sun, The Great Leap) as “King Kuei”
- Amanda Zhou (Spinning Out, The Handmaid’s Tale) plays “Joo Dee”
- Crystal Yu (Doctor Who, Good Omens) plays “Lady Beifong”
- Kelemete Misipeka (Sons of Thunder, ) plays “The Boulder”
- Lourdes Faberes (The Sandman, Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre) as “General Sung”
- Rekha Sharma (Yellowjackets, Battlestar Galactica) as “Amita”
Of particular interest are, of course, Long Feng, a devious villain in Avatar: The Last Airbender‘s cartoon, who heads up Ba Sing Se’s secret police, the Dai Li, in the animated Nickelodeon series. Long Feng has fickle loyalties and a lot of self-interest. We bet he’ll be causing trouble for the Gaang sooner rather than later.
Professor Zei, meanwhile, is the head of the anthropology department in Ba Sing Se, whose ambition led to trouble in the animated series when he recklessly disrespected Wan Shi Tong’s Library. Wan Shi Tong already made one appearance in Avatar: The Last Airbender season one, speaking to Aang in the Spirit World. So perhaps we shall see him again.
Finally, Joo Dee is the face of Ba Sing Se’s dangerous denial of war, waylaying the Avatar and his friends from their mission in the most genial way possible. We’re sure we’ll see Amanda Zhou’s grinning face making its way into the meme-verse before long.
Others cast include Toph’s mother, Lady Beifong; The Boulder, who is a wrestler Toph handily defeats in the ring; General Sung, an Earth Kingdom official; and King Kuei, the Earth King. Especially interesting is the season two casting of a brand new character Avatar: The Last Airbender‘s world, both live-action and cartoon, Amita. Avatar did introduce several new characters in season one. But we’ll have to wait and see exactly who Amita is.
Avatar: The Last Airbender recently revealed the casting of one of its most important season two characters, Toph. And so, it really feels like momentum is building for the next chapters of the series. We’re excited to meet all these new faces and to soon learn more about where the show will go.
