BURBANK,
Calif., Feb. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Nickelodeon
is continuing the mythology and adventure of the beloved animated
series Avatar: The Last Airbender with Avatar: Seven
Havens, an all-new series from creators Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko. Set in the world of Avatar:
The Last Airbender, the original 26-episode, 2D-animated series
centers around a young Earthbender who discovers she's the new
Avatar. The news was announced today by Ramsey Naito, President, Paramount Animation and
Nickelodeon Animation.
"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 Naito. "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."
"When we created the original series, we never imagined we'd
still be expanding the world decades later," said Michael DiMartino and Bryan 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!"
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.
The series is in production under the Avatar Studios banner from
Nickelodeon Animation in Burbank.
Avatar: Seven Havens is comprised of Book 1 (13 half-hour
episodes) and Book 2 (13 half-hour episodes).
Michael DiMartino (Avatar: The Last Airbender, The
Legend of Korra) and Bryan
Konietzko (Avatar: The Last Airbender, The Legend
of Korra) are co-creators and executive producers. Ethan
Spaulding is executive producer and Sehaj Sethi is co-executive
producer. Additional news of the premiere date and casting will be
announced at a later date.
