When Does It Premiere?
Avatar: Seven Havens arrives Friday, Oct. 9, on Paramount+ with the first three episodes. The rest of the first series will roll out weekly, a few episodes at a time.
Episodes 4 through 6 arrive Oct. 16, episodes 7 to 9 follow on Oct. 23 and the final four episodes of Book 1 land Oct. 30.
The series is made up of two “books” with 13 half-hour episodes each. Details on Book 2 will arrive at a later date. And on premiere day at New York Comic Con, the creators announced that the series has already been renewed for Books 3 and 4.
What Is It About?
The 2D-animated series follows Pavi, a young Earthbender who discovers she’s the next Avatar after Korra.
Unlike Aang and Korra, Pavi lives in a world devastated by a cataclysm, where humans and spirits alike see the Avatar as a threat, rather than a savior. She’s forced to go on the run, dodging enemies on both sides as she seeks her place in the world.
Her new mission is to save the Seven Havens, civilization’s last strongholds in a world overrun by spirits and humans, before their collapse. Along the way, she’ll uncover the mystery of her own origins, and discover the depths of her own power.
She’ll also have a little help from a cat-monkey named Geet, her Airbender mentor and friend Jae, as well as her long-lost twin—a first for any Avatar.

Who’s in the Voice Cast?
Saheli Khan voices Pavi, with Aishu Devan, Akshay Khanna, Major Curda, Sakina Jaffrey, Darren Barnet and Dianne Doan also in starring and supporting voice roles.
Dee Bradley Baker, who plays Geet, is no stranger to the franchise. He’s also been the beloved voice behind animal companions including Appa and Momo in the original series, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to his enormous voice-acting resume.
Who’s Behind the Series?
Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, the original creators of Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra, return as co-creators and executive producers for this bold new series. They promise a show with “a whole new cast of amazing characters.”
Ethan Spaulding, an animation director on the original series, is also an executive producer, and Sehaj Sethi of The Winchesters joins as co-executive producer.
French studio La Chouette Compagnie is handling the animation, and Jeremy Zuckerman is back to compose the iconic music for the series. According to the creators, the art direction draws on French artist Mœbius and 1990s anime, offering something slightly different from the Avatar animation we’ve seen in the past.

What Happened at NYCC
Avatar: Seven Havens held its premiere-day panel at New York Comic Con on Friday, Oct. 9. Co-creators Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko were joined by executive producer Ethan Spaulding, co-executive producer Sehaj Sethi and voice stars Saheli Khan (Pavi), Aishu Devan (Nisha) and Major Curda (Jae), with Janet Varney, the original voice of Korra, moderating.
The biggest news is that the series has been renewed for Books 3 and 4, which will continue the story of Pavi and her twin sister, Nisha.
Paramount+ also announced a brand-new series, Avatar Kuruk: Wave of Chaos. It follows a rebellious teenage Avatar who breaks with thousands of years of tradition and learns the four elements through globetrotting adventures, all while staying one step ahead of his angry teacher, rowdy pirates and chaotic spirits. Avatar Studios and Nickelodeon Animation Studios are producing, with Konietzko as showrunner.
A special “script-to-screen” behind-the-scenes clip also debuted, showing how the series made the jump from the page to Paramount+.
How Does It Fit Into the Avatar Universe?
Avatar: Seven Havens is a sequel to The Legend of Korra, set more than 200 years after that series’ conclusion.
In the time since, portals between the human and spirit worlds have opened, and Korra has lost her connection to past Avatars.
If you’re eager to get caught up before the new series arrives, both earlier series are streaming on Paramount+ and Netflix.
And the premiere date has its own historical significance. Oct. 9 was originally the release date for the film Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender, which moved up to July 25 after it leaked online.
