Avatar: The Last Airbender is considered by many to be one of the best-animated series of all time, and with good reason, as the Nickelodeon series was able to combine beloved characters with amazing storytelling over the course of three seasons.

Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, the actor that will be bringing Uncle Iroh to life, shared a photo after a "tough work week" alongside Dallas Liu, who will be playing the role of Prince Zuko, along with Ruy Iskandar, who will apparently be bringing to life the Fire Nation lieutenant known as Jee:
Netflix has yet to reveal when exactly we can expect their take on the world of element bending to arrive on its streaming service.
