The Netflix Show Includes New Powerhouse Actors Who Could Elevate The Show

The news about the seasons of Netflix’s Avatar: The Last Airbender has continued to build excitement among fans like myself. While all the new Avatar: The Last Airbender season 2 and 3 actors are exciting, the ones I’m most looking forward to are Dichen Lachman as Yangchen and Tantoo Cardinal as Hama. Lachman and Cardinal have made an impression on me with their ability to handle any role they’re given. They're truly powerhouse actors whose performances could elevate the show even more.

The fact that Avatar: The Last Airbender seasons 2 and 3 are filming back-to-back, without a big break in between, is a promising sign that the characters, including Avatar’s returning cast and the newcomers, will have consistency across the seasons.
