For now, fans can look forward to what has already been revealed about the new season.

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”

Long Feng, the cunning antagonist from the cartoon version of “Avatar: The Last Airbender,” is a character worth noting. He serves as the head of Ba Sing Se’s secret police, the Dai Li, in the Nickelodeon series. Long Feng is known for his unstable allegiances and personal gain, suggesting he might create problems for the Gaang before long.

In the animated series, Professor Zei serves as the head of the anthropology department at Ba Sing Se. His ambitious nature often got him into trouble, such as disrespecting Wan Shi Tong’s library without due caution. Readers may recall Wan Shi Tong from season one of Avatar: The Last Airbender, where he interacted with Aang in the Spirit World. It is possible that we will encounter him once more in future episodes.

In the end, Joo Dee becomes the friendly mask for Ba Sing Se’s hidden war denial, subtly hindering the Avatar and his companions in their task. It won’t be surprising if Amanda Zhou’s cheerful face starts popping up frequently in internet memes soon.

Among the cast members, you’ll find Lady Beifong, Toph’s mother; The Boulder, a wrestler whom Toph easily overpowers; General Sung, an Earth Kingdom representative; and King Kuei, the ruler of the Earth Kingdom. Intriguingly, the second season introduces Amita, a fresh character in the world of Avatar: The Last Airbender, both in live-action and animated versions. While Avatar did present several new characters in its first season, we’ll have to see what role Amita plays.

The popular animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender has just announced its casting choice for a key character from season two, Toph. This development certainly adds to the anticipation of what’s to come in the subsequent episodes. We can hardly wait to encounter these new characters and discover where the story is headed next.
