Announced in time for the original series' 20-year celebration, Avatar: Seven Havens is a new animated series within the universe of Avatar. Originally debuting in 2005, Avatar: The Last Airbender is set in a fantasy realm where the world is divided up into four nations, each representing an elemental force such as air, water, earth, or fire. In order to unite the world and stop the dastardly machinations of the Fire Nation, Aang (the titular character) must master all four elemental powers. Blending Eastern and Western animation styles, Avatar was one of the most influential Aughts cartoons.

The original series ran for three seasons, and the divisive sequel, The Legend of Korra, stuck around for four installments in the early 2010s. Though the franchise branched out into live-action, it was the realm of animation that always seemed like home for The Last Airbender. Now, Avatar Studios (founded in 2021) has announced Avatar: Seven Havens, their first animated series set within the Avatar universe. Though an animated feature film is also on the horizon from Avatar Studios, Seven Havens is the franchise's first true return since The Legend of Korra went off the air over a decade ago.

Avatar: Seven Havens Is Confirmed

A New Avatar Animated Series Is Coming Soon

When Avatar Studios was founded in 2021, the newly-formed production house vowed to bring back the beloved Aughts animated franchise in a new series. Years ed, and the only project ever revealed is the forthcoming animated feature film, Aang: The Last Airbender, which is due in 2026. However, it would take until February 2025 for the first animated series to be announced in the form of Avatar: Seven Havens. While much is still unknown about the show, it is currently in production, and is far beyond a simple idea percolating at Avatar Studios.

Avatar creators Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko are in charge of Avatar Studios, and they will therefore be overseeing the newest installment in the TV franchise. Its place in the Avatar timeline has already been established, and there are a slew of interesting story details that offer teases about what the larger concepts of Seven Havens will be. Unfortunately, no casting announcements have been made yet, and it isn't exactly clear when Avatar Studios and Nickelodeon hope to deliver the series. It's also unclear how the future release of Aang: The Last Airbender will impact the show's timeline.

Aang: The Last Airbender is a feature film that follows Aang and his allies as adults.

In a t statement, creators DiMartino and Konietzko said (via Variety):

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. Get ready to take another epic and emotional adventure!

Ramsey Naito, president of Paramount Animation and Nickelodeon Animation, had this to say:

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. 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.

Where Avatar: Seven Havens Fits Into The Avatar Timeline

The New Show Takes Place Long After The Events Of The Legend Of Korra

enough time will need to have ed for the full scope of Korra's actions as the Avatar to have had their effect on the world.

Much like the Avatar: The Last Airbender spinoff, The Legend of Korra, the new series will take place after the events of its predecessor. Avatar: Seven Havens will follow up on the events of Korra, though it hasn't been established exactly how many years have ed. Since only one Avatar can live at any time, it will take place far enough in the future that Korra has since ed away. Also, enough time will need to have ed for the full scope of Korra's actions as the Avatar to have had their effect on the world.

Avatar: Seven Havens Story Details

A New Avatar Rises To Repair A Fractured World

While the full story of Avatar: Seven Havens isn't known yet, Avatar Studios has given a pretty clear picture of what's to come in the series. Taking place after the events of The Legend of Korra, the show will follow the newest Avatar, an Earthbender, who is tasked with reuniting the world after the previous Avatar (Korra) fractured the nations into the eponymous Seven Havens. This premise seems to suggest that Korra's legacy is going to be tarnished, but Seven Havens will likely redeem her somehow.

The Avatar: The Last Airbender TV franchise includes:

The new Avatar is a girl of an undisclosed age, and her name and other important details remain elusive for now. However, besides trying to save the world, the Avatar is also hunting for her long-lost twin sister. This is perhaps the most unique wrinkle in the new series, as there has never been an Avatar with siblings before. How this changes the dynamic remains to be seen, but it's clear that there's more to the lore of Avatar: Seven Havens than what's been revealed already.
