The main cast for Avatar: The Last Airbender season 2 has been long assembled, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t still new characters to be discovered. Over the past couple of weeks, we’ve learned of two new faces you’ll be seeing in the show, which just recently wrapped production and will be filming again for the third and final season shortly.
As you may remember, the major new cast announcements came back in November 2024 with the streamer confirming eight major new names joining season 2 in the Earth Kingdom. To recap, those new names included Chin Han as Long Feng, Justin Chien as King Kuei, Amanda Zhou as Joo Dee, Crystal Yu as Lady Beifong, Kelemete Misipeka as The Boulder, Hoa Xuande as Professor Zei, Lourdes Faberes as General Sung, and Rekha Sharma as Amita.
The new names comes from Knight Edge Media, which has been on top of all things Avatar: The Last Airbender over the past few years, including the Netflix live-action series and animated titles currently in the works.
Today, they’re reporting that Angela Najjar, a relative unknown, has been cast in the role of Jin, who featured in the original animated series on Nickelodeon. First introduced in The Tales of Ba Sing Se, Jin is part of the Earth Kingdom and is a refugee of the Hundred-Year War and notably develops a crush on Zuko in the series.
Hawaiian-born actress Mapuana Makia, known for her role as Noelani Nakayama in Disney’s Doogie Kamealoha, M.D., will appear in a recurring guest star role in season 2 of Netflix’s Avatar: The Last Airbender. Although her character has not been revealed, Makia is the second Hawaiian or Samoan actor to join the cast following Kelemete Misipeka, who was previously announced as The Boulder.
The outlet also reports that Victor Lau (Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies) is set to appear in episode four in a minor role, while Tina Pham (Invasion) will have a small role in the season finale.
Filming on season 2 wrapped up sometime in late March, although none of the cast or crew associated with the show has shared any pictures or information on that exact wrap date. What we do know is that the show now goes into a small hiatus before picking up filming again on May 26th and then runs through to at least November 7th, 2025.
Avatar: The Last Airbender season 2 is expected to return to our screens in 2026.
