Netflix's 'Avatar: The Last Airbender' Reportedly Adds 'Teen Wolf' Alum, More to Cast

Arden Cho has reportedly been cast in Netflix's Avatar: The Last Airbender.


According to Avatar News, the Teen Wolf alum has been brought on to play June in the live-action adaptation of Nickelodeon's beloved animated series, meaning the actor will get to play one of the best bounty hunters in the Elemental Nations.

June debuted in Book One as a fearsome bounty hunter on a mission. June has no loyalties when it comes to work, and she will ride her shirshu to the ends of the Earth to find a quarry. Her skills at tracking and capturing are second to none as June learned the bounty hunting business from her father. And after running into Zuko on a job, June finds herself tasked with hunting Aang.

If the reports are spot on, Cho will be the actress responsible for bringing June to life when Netflix releases its adaptation. This role is just the latest one for Cho to undertake as fans came to know her well with Teen Wolf. She played Kira Yukimura on the MTV original series and will soon appear in Netflix's Partner Track, an original rom-com that follows an ambitious lawyer gunning for partner whose dreams are turned upside down when a former lover gets in her way.

Cho's casting is just the latest casting news from the series: Rainbow Dickerson has been cast as Kya (Sokka and Katara’s mom); Joel Montgrand has been cast as Hakoda (Sokka and Katara’s dad); Utkarsh Ambudkar has been cast as King Bumi of Omashu; and Rainbow Dickerson, Joel Oulette, and Rohain Arora, who join the cast in mystery roles. Additionally, Momona Tamada has been cast as Ty Lee.
