Avatar animated franchise expansions

Overview

The Avatar animated franchise has seen new expansions through Paramount and Nickelodeon. In August 2026, Paramount released the animated film ‘Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender’, a sequel set a decade after the original series following the aged-up core characters. Directed by Lauren Montgomery, the film features Eric Nam as the voice of Aang. On October 9, 2026, Paramount+ premiered the animated series ‘Avatar: Seven Havens’, created by franchise co-creators Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko. Set approximately 225 years after ‘The Legend of Korra’, the series takes place in a post-apocalyptic world centered around the Seven Havens, described as the “remaining pillars of civilization.” The story follows twin sisters Pavi and Nisha, who are reincarnations of Korra and serve as two Avatars simultaneously. In this era, the Avatar is perceived as a “potential destroyer rather than a savior,” leading to a hunt for the character. The series has also premiered on SkyShowtime. The first season, ‘Book 1: Survival’, consists of 26 episodes split into two 13-episode installments, with the season scheduled to conclude on October 30, 2026. Following its debut, ‘Seven Havens’ earned a 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes from critics, while the audience score stands at 80%. During a panel at New York Comic Con 2026, Paramount+ announced the series has been renewed for seasons three and four. Additionally, a new action-comedy series titled ‘Avatar Kuruk: Wave of Chaos’ was revealed, which will follow a rebellious teenage Kuruk. Recent developments in ‘Seven Havens’ include the introduction of a canon gay couple, airbender Jae and his boyfriend Datu. The series has also featured character conflicts between the twins regarding their parents, and footage suggesting the continued relationship of older versions of Korra and Asami.
