Avatar: The Last Airbender is set in a universe where individuals can control one of the four elements—water, earth, fire, and air. One individual, known as the Avatar, is predetermined to master all four elements to safeguard the world. The latest Avatar, Aang, along with his friends, must thwart the Fire Nation’s efforts to dominate the world.
Except for Cardinal and Briones, the new cast members are set to appear in season two, while the latter will join the show in the third season. Their respective roles are as follows:

The story is set in an Asian-inspired war-torn world where select individuals can manipulate one of the four classical elements: water, earth, fire, or air. Aang (Gordon Cormier), the “Avatar,” is the sole person capable of bending all elements and is destined to restore peace from the Fire Nation. Alongside his new friends Katara (Kiawentiio) and Sokka (Ian Ousley), Aang embarks on a journey to master the elements while being chased by the exiled Fire Nation prince Zuko (Daniel Dae Kim), who is determined to reclaim his honor by capturing the Avatar.
Avatar: The Last Airbender features Gordon Cormier as Aang, Kiawentiio as Katara, Ian Ousley as Sokka, Dallas Liu as Zuko, Elizabeth Yu as Azula, Paul Sun-Hyung Lee as Iroh, and Daniel Dae Kim as Fire Lord Ozai.
