The Avatar: The Last Airbender live-action series landed on Netflix on Feb. 22, and it's already a hit for the streaming giant. In just its first four days of availability, the show managed to accumulate 21.2 million views and reach the top 10 in 92 countries. If it keeps this up and continues to increase in viewership over the next couple of weeks, we could possibly be hearing of an Avatar: The Last Airbender season 2 renewal announcement soon. I don't know about you, but I definitely want to see Aang and the rest of Team Avatar's journey continue in a second season.

Marketed as a live-action adaptation of the popular Nickelodeon animated series of the same name, Avatar: The Last Airbender follows Aang, the current Avatar and the last Airbender, as he goes on a journey to master the four classical elements (Water, Earth, Fire, Air) so that he can restore balance to the world and put a stop to the evil Fire Nation.

Young rising actor Gordon Cormier portrays the main character, Aang. Joining him in the cast are other rising talents such as Kiawentiio, Ian Ousley, Dallas Liu, and many others. Since the show's premiere, the cast has seen steady growth in their Instagram followings and overall popularity. Now, they're locking down sponsorships and are making money from their social media accounts alone.

But how much money exactly is the Avatar: The Last Airbender cast making from their Instagram accounts? We shared the cast’s Instagram earnings down below!

Although Arden is best known for starring as Kira Yukimura in MTV's Teen Wolf, she also starred in the leading role of Ingrid Yun in the short-lived Netflix legal drama series Partner Track.
