Nickelodeon is expanding the beloved Avatar: The Last Airbender universe with a brand-new animated series, Avatar: Seven Havens. This upcoming 2D series will follow the events of The Legend of Korra and introduce a new Avatar navigating a world in chaos.
New Avatar, New Journey
The series is set in a post-apocalyptic world ravaged by a devastating cataclysm. The new protagonist, a young Earthbender, discovers she is the next Avatar after Korra. However, instead of being celebrated as a hero, she is feared as a potential destroyer. With enemies from both the human and spirit worlds hunting her down, she embarks on a journey alongside her long-lost twin to uncover their origins and save the Seven Havens—the last strongholds of civilization.
Creators & Production
Avatar: Seven Havens is spearheaded by original Avatar creators Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko under the Avatar Studios banner at Nickelodeon Animation in Burbank. The series will span 26 half-hour episodes across two seasons, referred to as Book 1 and Book 2, staying true to the structure of previous Avatar series.
DiMartino and Konietzko expressed their excitement for the project, stating:
“When we created the original series, we never imagined we’d still be expanding the world decades later. This new incarnation of the Avatarverse is full of fantasy, mystery, and a whole new cast of amazing characters.”
Expanding the Avatar Universe
Nickelodeon has been actively reviving the Avatar franchise. Seven Havens marks the third animated installment in the Avatar saga after The Last Airbender (2005–2008) and The Legend of Korra (2012–2014). In addition, an Avatar animated film focusing on Aang and his friends is set to release in theaters in January 2026, featuring an all-star voice cast including Dave Bautista, Dionne Quan, Jessica Matten, Román Zaragoza, and Eric Nam.
The Legacy Continues
With Avatar: Seven Havens, Nickelodeon and Avatar Studios aim to honor the legacy of Avatar: The Last Airbender, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year. Fans can also look forward to digital shorts, live events, games, and merchandise to commemorate the milestone.
