Not too much, then.We also know that Zuko will eventually team up with Aang and the gang to make this happen, so we can expect to see some more emotional upheaval from him.Obviously, finding out if Aang has actually survived the battle is a top priority for season 3.

Narratively, it makes sense for season 3 to be the last, if Books 1, 2, and 3 have all been adapted in each.However, the fact that there are so many written and comic book continuations means that the possibilities could be endless. Even if we don't get a direct season 4, Netflix could invest in spinoffs galore.
