During Netflix’s ongoing Geeked Week event, the streamer announced that Miya Cech (Beef, American Girl: Corinne Tan) has been cast as Toph Beifong, the blind earthbending prodigy whose unique skills end up making her a formidable part of Team Avatar.
Previously, executive producer Jabbar Raisani teased that, much like in the animated show, Toph’s arrival will add new complications to Team Avatar’s group dynamics as they continue on their quest to defeat the Fire Nation. Given that Netflix’s Avatar is set to end with its third season, Toph finally popping up to become a fixture in the show makes sense. And considering how the cartoon used impressive action sequences to illustrate Toph’s character, it’s likely that she’ll be a highlight of Netflix’s series when it returns.
The second season of Netfflix’s Avatar: The Last Airbender is now in production.
