From Avatar Studios and original franchise creators Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, Avatar: Seven Havens will be a completely 2D animated series following a young Earthbender who finds out that she’s the next Avatar. This new series will feature 26 episodes across two Books, but will feature a much dramatically different kind of future for the Avatar: The Last Airbender world than fans might have ever expected. One where being the Avatar isn’t as glorious of a position as it might have been in the past.
What Is Avatar: Seven Havens?
As detailed in a press release, Avatar: Seven Havens is now in production as part of Avatar Studios from Nickelodeon Animation. Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko return from Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra as series creators and executive producers alongside Ethan Spaulding as executive producer and Sehaj Sethi as co-executive producer. Its official premiere date and voice cast will be announced at a later date, but the series will span across Book 1 (13 episodes) and Book 2 (13 episodes) for a 26 episode run in total. The first story details have been revealed as well.
Avatar: Seven Havens is confirmed to take place after The Legend of Korra and is teased by Avatar Studios to be “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.” So yes, this is going to be a completely brand new show coming our way.
