We’re getting more new Avatar: The Last Airbender beyond just the live-action Netflix adaptation, of course.

On Thursday, Nickelodeon announced a new Avatar show called Avatar: Seven Havens, set in the world of Avatar: The Last Airbender. The show is created (and co-executive produced) by Avatar co-creators Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko. And, luckily, we’re going to be getting a lot of it: The show has already been picked up for 26 episodes. Like The Legend of Korra, those will be split into two 13-episode seasons. (So far those are just titled Book 1 and Book 2.)

The series description is scant, but follows life in the Four Kingdoms (the ones that lived in harmony, until the Fire Nation attacked, yada yada yada) after the events of Korra. Nickelodeon’s release describes the plot as:

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.

Considering the state Korra left the world in by integrating the spirit world to the main one, there’s a lot of interesting places for Seven Havens to go. And Konietzko and DiMartino are excited to take it there across two seasons.

“When we created the original series, we never imagined we’d still be expanding the world decades later,” DiMartino and Konietzko said in a statement. “This new incarnation of the Avatarverse is full of fantasy, mystery, and a whole new cast of amazing characters.”

The life of Avatar: The Last Airbender, as a franchise, has been complicated. For as many projects as we’ve gotten — an ill-received live-action film adaptation, Korra as a bit of a cult hit, a live-action Netflix show in 2024, a handful of books and games — there are just as many projects still in the hopper. Nickelodeon’s announcement also teased the forthcoming film adaptation of later in Aang’s life, coming to theaters on Jan. 30, 2026. The voice cast for that includes Dave Bautista, Dionne Quan, Jessica Matten, Román Zaragoza, and Eric Nam.
