Netflix provides a major update on Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 3

Netflix has confirmed that the production of Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 3 has wrapped up. As we wait for the release details of Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 2, Netflix confirmed that the third and final season of the Netflix hit has entered its post-production phase. In addition to confirming Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 3's filming completion, the streamer confirmed that we will get more details about the upcoming second season soon.

For the uninitiated, the Netflix show is a live-action adaptation of the beloved Nickelodeon animated series is about 12-year-old airbender Aang, who is also the Avatar, who can bend all elements of nature, i.e., air, water, Earth, and fire.

Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 3 has completed filming. Now what?

It seems that the Netflix live-action adaptation of the iconic two-decade-old animated series, Avatar: The Last Airbender, will follow the original show's footsteps, as it seems that it will run for three seasons. The first season, much like Book One: Water, saw Aang learn waterbending.

Now, it seems that Netflix is following the original series as the second season will see Aang learn Earthbending under Miya Cech's Toph Beifong. And, Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 3 will see Aang learn firebending from a reformed Zuko, who betrays his father.

If season 2 follows Book Two: Earth, of the original animated series, then the finale will see Zuko rejoining the Fire Nation after Azula supposedly kills Aang. The first half of Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 3 will build towards the moment he denounces his father if it follows the original animated series.

Writer, co-showrunner, and Executive Producer Christine Boylan, who has written all three seasons, told Tudum after the conclusion of Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 3's filming:

“When we started working on Season 2, we gathered three forces: integrity, hope, and joy. And here we are almost three years later wrapping the end of production with an immensely talented and devoted team that met those ideals and exceeded them. I am eternally grateful to be part of this important, hilarious, action-packed team who is bringing this epic live action story to the world.”

As we wait for the second season, we already know that we will see Aang training to learn earthbending after mastering waterbending off-screen between seasons 1 and 2. As for what to expect from Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 2, showrunners Jabbar Raisani and Christine Boylan humorously teased the iconic line from the animated series, “There’s no war in Ba Sing Se”, and went on to say:

“For the Gaang, fans can expect more brilliant plans from Sokka, even more masterful bending from Katara, Appa, and Momo to be as fluffy as ever, and Aang to learn a new bending form (or two). We’re going to challenge our characters with more complex and nuanced obstacles as they navigate a more tactile world,” say Boylan and Raisani. “Just as the animated series matured and progressed, the live-action will also take these characters and worlds and grow them.”

Is there more on Netflix's live-action adaptation after season 3?

For now, it seems that the Netflix interpretation of this franchise is limited to just three seasons. But it should be noted that we don't have a clear picture of the rights sharing between Netflix and Nickelodeon. We may get a live-action The Legend of Korra series after Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 3. But, even if The Legend of Korra live-action series were to happen, we will learn only after season 3's release.

“Water. Earth. Fire. Air. The four nations once lived in harmony, with the Avatar, master of all four elements, keeping peace between them. But everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked and wiped out the Air Nomads, the first step taken by the firebenders towards conquering the world. With the current incarnation of the Avatar yet to emerge, the world has lost hope. But like a light in the darkness, hope springs forth when Aang, a young Air Nomad — and the last of his kind — reawakens to take his rightful place as the next Avatar. Alongside his newfound friends Sokka and Katara, siblings and members of the Southern Water Tribe, Aang embarks on a fantastical, action-packed quest to save the world and fight back against the fearsome onslaught of Fire Lord Ozai. But with a driven Crown Prince Zuko determined to capture them, it won’t be an easy task. They’ll need the help of the many allies and colorful characters they meet along the way.”
