The season will adapt the second season of the animated Avatar: The Last Airbender, which aired on Nickelodeon from 2005 to 2008 across three seasons.

The second season, titled Book 2: Earth, shook up the series’ status quo in ways the live-action series appears to be following.

Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 2 will introduce Toph Beifong, a blind earthbending prodigy who joins the heroes to teach Avatar Aang (Gordon Comier) earthbending.

Fire Nation Princess Azula (Elizabeth Yue), a recurring character in Season 1, will also take on a larger role, per The Direct, as she begins hunting Team Avatar.

The main thrust of the original animated season was Team Avatar’s journey to the Earth Kingdom capital, Ba Sing Se. There, they hope to recruit help to end the war with the imperious Fire Nation.

Meanwhile, exiled Fire Nation Prince Zuko (played in live-action by Dallas Liu) goes on his own journey, external and internal.

Avatar: The Last Airbender has already been renewed for a third season, which will adapt the original series’ final season, Book Three: Fire.

According to Variety, the second and third live-action seasons were filmed back-to-back.
