Avatar: Seven Havens will be the third animated series that will focus on the bending world, arriving in the major shadows of both the original Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra. While no images, or release windows, have been revealed for the upcoming Nickelodeon show, the description of the series has bending fans talking. Not only will Seven Havens introduce animation fans to a brand new Avatar, said Avatar will exist in a world that is quite different from the ones that were inhabited by both Aang and Korra. Needless to say, the upcoming series is sure to have plenty of surprises.

If you haven’t seen the official description for the upcoming Avatar: Seven Havens, Avatar Studios released the following breakdown via a press release, “Avatar: Seven Havens 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.”

Avatar’s Dark Future
The “devastating cataclysm” of Seven Havens has yet to be revealed but it’s clear that the world is going to be a very different place for the Earthbender following in the footsteps of Korra and Aang. While the first series saw the Fire Nation bearing down on the world at large in their push to control it and Korra’s journey had a steady stream of challenges for her to tackle, both societies were relatively functional. In the third animated series, the new Avatar might have to not only deal with their new status as a pariah but with a world that is teetering on the brink of complete collapse.
With Aang, the world mostly did not believe that the Avatar had returned for some time, needing to prove himself by fighting against the Fire Nation and spreading his influence around the world. In Korra’s situation, she had quite the legacy to live up to but was genueinly looked upon favorably by society. Adding an element of fear to the Avatar title makes for an interesting hook for the third series.
Avatar’s Light Future
On top of Seven Havens, Avatar: The Last Airbender has future movies that have already been confirmed by Avatar Studios. The first of which will arrive next year tentatively titled “Aang The Last Airbender,” which will document an adventure in the life of Aang and his friends as adults. With the original series over fifteen years old at this point, Paramount and Nickelodeon are clearly all-in when it comes to Aang and his successors, regardless of what land they hail from.
