Netflix has dropped the first featurette, ‘Bringing the World to Life,’ for its upcoming Avatar: The Last Airbender series.

Also gracing the small screen is Paul Sun-Hyung Lee as Uncle Iroh, Arden Cho as June, Thalia Tran as Mai, Momona Tamada as Ty Lee, Elizabeth Yu as Azula, and many more. Did we mention the original voice actor for the Cabbage Merchant, James Sie, will reprise his iconic role?
