Recently, a report had come out from Netflix’s Avatar: The Last Airbender star Miya Cech, who revealed she believes the second season of their show will debut sometime in early 2026:
“Yeah, I mean, personally, I’m not exactly sure. I feel like they’re trying to keep our expectations realistic, so I think that we were looking at early 2026 for Season 2, but let’s just hope it gets done a little quicker than that.”
With season 2 completing production last month, an early 2026 release sounds pretty standard. Typically, these massive streaming shows take about a year of post-production from the end of filming to be officially released. So, it is released two years after the previous season’s release date. We at Knight Edge Media learned there were massive issues in post-production on season 1. The studio had to add 6 months of post-production due to editing The Volume. Many rumors were flying that season 1 was supposed to come out in summer 2023 (via Twitter), which was accurate then, but was pushed back due to this post-production delay to February 2024. Luckily, Rideback has dropped using The Volume for seasons 2 and 3 moving forward.
We at Knight Edge Media have also exclusively learned that Netflix and Avatar Studios/Paramount Pictures are working together to coordinate a release schedule that benefits their respective Avatar: The Last Airbender projects. Avatar Studios has two upcoming animated projects in the pipeline, including The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender movie and Avatar: Seven Havens, the animated series, to be released in 2026. The Legend of Aang movie is set to be released on January 30th, 2026.
We may get each project once a quarter in 2026, with the Avatar Aang movie in Q1, the Netflix show in Q2, and the Avatar: Seven Havens series towards the end of the year in Q3/Q4. As we were told, it gives each project several months of “breathing room” between releases and prevents them from overlapping. We also discovered the Avatar Studios leaked slate several months ago, which lists the Netflix series first, then the Avatar Aang movie, and finally Avatar: Seven Havens (Earth Series). It’s also possible that this is the release schedule slate both studios may be using, with the Netflix series first and then season 3 being released sometime in early 2027. Season 3 will pick up filming in May after a short hiatus. It would make more sense for Paramount to delay the animated film until Q2 to have a better box office return than just dumping it in January, but that is just speculation.
