“Seven Havens” hails from “Avatar” creators Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko under the Avatar Studios banner from Nickelodeon Animation in Burbank. It is currently in production.
Per the official logline, the series is set in “a world shattered by a devastating cataclysm. A young Earthbender discovers she’s the new Avatar after Korra – but in this dangerous era, that title marks her as humanity’s destroyer, not its savior. Hunted by both human and spirit enemies, she and her long-lost twin must uncover their mysterious origins and save the Seven Havens before civilization’s last strongholds collapse.”
“When we created the original series, we never imagined we’d still be expanding the world decades later,” said DiMartino and Konietzko. “This new incarnation of the Avatarverse is full of fantasy, mystery, and a whole new cast of amazing characters. Get ready to take another epic and emotional adventure!”
DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko are the co-creators and executive producers on “Avatar: Seven Havens.” Ethan Spaulding is executive producer and Sehaj Sethi is co-executive producer.
“For two decades, the richly crafted world of Avatar: The Last Airbender has introduced audiences to a world of compelling characters and groundbreaking storylines, captivating fans globally,” said Ramsey Naito, president of Paramount Animation and Nickelodeon Animation. “We can’t wait to embark on the next chapter of this epic saga, with a new story set within the Avatarverse, envisioned by the original creators, Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko.”
This will be the third animated “Avatar” series. In addition to “The Last Airbender,” Nickelodeon previously aired “Avatar: The Legend of Korra” for four seasons between 2012 and 2014. There is also an animated film focused on Aang and the characters from “Last Airbender” due out in theaters in January 2026. The voice cast of that film includes Dave Bautista, Dionne Quan, Jessica Matten, Román Zaragoza and Eric Nam.
Netflix launched a live-action adaptation of “Last Airbender” in 2024, though DiMartino and Konietzko exited that show long before it debuted due to creative differences.
In celebration of the 20th anniversary of “Last Airbender,” Paramount is is rolling out a massive amount of new “Avatar” content, including digital shorts, live experiences, consumer products, and games.
