Exciting news for all Avatar fans: the new Netflix series has just been officially renewed for a 2nd season. What’s more, the end of the live-action adaptation has already been confirmed
Nearly two weeks ago, the highly anticipated fantasy series Avatar: Lord of the Elements premiered on Netflix. Since then, the remake of the animated series of the same name from the 2000s has been in the Netflix charts and is causing a lot of discussion on the internet – a success across the board.
Over 41 million viewers tuned in to the new Avatar series in the first eleven days. Netflix is apparently very pleased with the figures and has announced its plans for the future of the project. As the Hollywood Reporter reports, not only season 2, but also season 3 has already been officially ordered.
Avatar future secured: Seasons 2 and 3 of the Netflix series are definitely coming and then it’s over
Netflix has already planned its Avatar series from start to finish. Just like its animated role model, we can expect a total of three seasons. After that, the story is over. That’s a good sign for fans: Netflix is not artificially dragging out the material and we no longer have to fear a sudden cancellation.

Instead, we have the certainty that Netflix will realize the entire Avatar epic in live-action format. And if there’s more need for stories from the fantasy universe after that, there’s always the animated series The Legend of Korra, which could be filmed as a follow-up project for Netflix.

The Avatar series takes us to a world where the elements of water, fire, earth and air are of paramount importance. This world is divided into four nations, i.e. one nation per element. And each nation has so-called tamers who know how to control the respective element. Unfortunately, things have not been peaceful for some time.
For 100 years, the Fire Nation has been causing fear and terror through its warlike activities. Hope now rests on the shoulders of young Aang (Gordon Cormier), who belongs to the almost completely extinct Air Nomads and has the ability to tame all the elements and thus restore balance.
When will Avatar seasons 2 and 3 start on Netflix?
Netflix has so far only announced the renewal of Avatar: Lord of the Elements. It is not yet clear when the 2nd and 3rd seasons will be released. With the extensive preparation that has already gone into season 1, the fantasy series is not expected to return until 2026 at the earliest.

Season 1 of Avatar: Lord of the Elements comprises eight episodes. It can be assumed that the 2nd and 3rd seasons will also have the same number of episodes. This would mean that the Netflix series would ultimately comprise a total of 24 episodes. The animated original has 61 episodes in its three seasons. However, with a running time of around 23 minutes, these are also significantly shorter than the one-hour Netflix series
