To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the classic animated series "Avatar: The Last Airbender," a new animation project titled "Avatar: Seven Havens" has been announced. This fantasy tale, which has captured the hearts of millions, returns from a new world while retaining its signature blend of Eastern philosophy, epic adventures, and unique visual style. What awaits fans in this continuation of the iconic universe is detailed by Tengri Life referencing ScreenRant.
In 2021, Avatar Studios was established, promising to revive the beloved universe of Avatar: The Last Airbender with new projects. However, there had been little news about new films until recently. The first confirmed project is a full-length animated film titled "Aang: The Last Airbender," scheduled for release in 2026. In February 2025, the first new series was officially announced – Avatar: Seven Havens. While details are still sparse, the show is already in active production and is set to become an important part of the Avatar universe.
The creators of "Avatar," Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, lead Avatar Studios and are personally overseeing the development of the new series. Its place in the timeline of the Universe has already been established, and the plot development hints at grand concepts for the new season. However, it remains unclear who will be part of the cast and when Avatar Studios, in collaboration with Nickelodeon, plans to release the series. The impact of the upcoming film "Aang: The Last Airbender" on the franchise's timeline is also an open question.
"When we created the original series, we could never have imagined that we would continue to expand the world decades later. This new incarnation of the Avatar universe is full of fantasy, mysteries, and a completely new cast of amazing characters. Get ready for another epic and emotional adventure!" – noted DiMartino and Konietzko in their statement.
Like the spin-off "Avatar: The Legend of Korra," the new series will continue the story of its predecessor. Avatar: Seven Havens will pick up the narrative after the events of "Korra," but it is still unknown how many years have passed since her time. Since there can only be one Avatar at a time, the action shifts after Korra's death. Moreover, a significant amount of time must have passed for her influence as the Avatar to have spread across the world and shaped a new era.
What happened to the universe after Avatar Korra
Although the full story of Avatar: Seven Havens remains a mystery, Avatar Studios has already revealed a key plot detail. The story unfolds long after the events involving Avatar Korra and introduces a new Avatar – an Earthbender. She is tasked with uniting a world that has become divided into seven havens following Korra's actions. This may suggest that Korra's legacy will not be straightforward, but it is likely that her actions will be re-evaluated throughout the plot.

Who is the new Avatar
The new Avatar is a girl, but her age, name, and other important details are currently unknown. Besides her primary mission of restoring peace, she is also on a quest to find her long-lost twin sister.
This aspect modernizes Seven Havens, as previous Avatars did not have siblings. How this influences the character's development and the world of the universe remains unclear, but it is evident that the new series represents something entirely fresh for the franchise.
The exact release date for the series is still a mystery. We await the studio's announcement.
Previously, we reported: The actor for the role of Albus Dumbledore in the "Harry Potter" series has been confirmed. Details here.
