Netflix is bringing back the Gaang this summer! After being renewed for a second and third (and final season), the live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender series continues the epic show with plenty more action.

After saving the Northern Water Tribe from the Fire Nation, Avatar Aang (Gordon Cormier) must regroup with Sokka (Ian Ousley) and Katara (Kiawentiio) as they embark on a mission to Ba Sing Se to find the Earth King and petition his aid in their battle against Fire Lord Ozai (Daniel Dae Kim).

This season features the highly-anticipated arrival of fan-favorite character Toph, played by Miyako.

The Bear season 5

Return date: June 25, 2026
Where to watch: Hulu

The fifth and final season of The Bear will air this June, following the recent surprise drop of a prequel episode focused on Ebon Moss-Bachrach‘s character Richie and Jon Bernthal‘s Mikey.

According to Variety, season 5 picks up immediately after Carmy (Jeremy Allen White) walks away from the restaurant business, leaving Sydney (Ayo Edebiri), Richie and Natalie (Abby Elliott) to keep the restaurant alive. As mounting financial pressure and a looming storm threaten everything they’ve built, the team pushes toward one final service and a long-awaited Michelin star.
