Together, they navigate a world fraught with danger, encountering allies and adversaries alike. Notably, Crown Prince Zuko (Dallas Liu), driven by a relentless pursuit to capture Aang, adds a layer of complexity to the narrative.
The production boasts a stellar lineup of talent in front of and behind the camera. The series is in capable hands with showrunner Albert Kim at the helm, supported by executive producers and directors such as Jabbar Raisani, Michael Goi, Roseanne Liang, and Jet Wilkinson.
