Netflix's new hit show Avatar: The Last Airbender has been renewed for additional seasons and that means the cast will be heading back to Canada soon.
The show, which has become a global hit since it premiered in late February, was filmed in several municipalities around British Columbia.
From the lush forests to the stunning mountain backdrops, Canada's West Coast had a lot to offer for the production of Avatar: The Last Airbender and luckily there are several locations seen in the show that you can go visit yourself.
With eight episodes in the first season, Avatar: The Last Airbender is a live-action reimagining of the Nickelodeon animated series.
In the show, a "young boy known as the Avatar must master the four elemental powers to save the world, and fight against an enemy bent on stopping him," according to the IMDb description.
