Star Paul Sun-Hyung Lee reveals Netflix's live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender episode count and runtime as production continues on the series. The Kim's Convenience and Mandalorian alum stars in the upcoming show as Iroh, a retired Fire Nation general who accompanies his nephew Zuko on his journey to capture the titular hero. Unlike his tyrannical younger brother, the Fire Lord Ozai, Iroh takes a more nurturing and wise approach to caring for his nephew in the hopes of guiding him to be a better person than his father.
Based on the animated Nickelodeon series of the same name, Avatar: The Last Airbender centers on Aang, the titular 12-year-old protagonist as he is awakened from being frozen in ice for a hundred years and sets out on a journey to restore peace to the world as the Fire Nation embark on a quest for domination. Alongside Lee, the cast for Netflix's live-action adaptation includes Gordon Cormier as Aang, Kiawentiio Tarbell as Katara, Ian Ousley as Sokka, Dallas Liu as Zuko, Elizabeth Yu as Azula and Daniel Dae Kim as Fire Lord Ozai. Following a rocky development cycle, Avatar: The Last Airbender finally began moving smoothly in mid 2021 with production kicking off in November and now one of the stars behind the series is sharing new details for the project.
