Paramount Plus Renews Avatar Seven Havens for Two Seasons

The Avatar franchise is expanding with two additional seasons of Avatar: Seven Havens and a new animated series, Avatar Kuruk: Wave of Chaos. Paramount+ announced the renewal during a New York Comic-Con panel on Friday, October 9, 2026, as the latest series debuted its opening episodes and creators outlined plans for the franchise's next chapter.

The renewal confirms that Avatar: Seven Havens will continue through Books 3 and 4, extending the story of twin sisters Pavi and Nisha. According to the announcement, further details about Books 2, 3 and 4 will be released later. The series is executive-produced by Avatar: The Last Airbender co-creators Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, alongside Ethan Spaulding and Sehaj Sethi.

Book 1 premiered on October 9 with its first three episodes. Paramount+ scheduled episodes four through six for October 16, episodes seven through nine for October 23, and episodes 10 through 13 for October 30.

Set more than 200 years after the events of The Legend of Korra, Seven Havens depicts a civilization devastated by a cataclysm. Humanity survives in seven isolated settlements, including Ellora, where nine-year-old Pavi discovers her identity as the new Avatar. Her encounter with Nisha reveals that the sisters share an extraordinary connection, introducing two living Avatars into the franchise's central storyline.

The series also changes the traditional role of the Avatar. Rather than welcoming the figure responsible for maintaining balance, Ellora's population fears and condemns Avatars because its history blames Korra for the world's destruction. Reviews published by IGN and Mashable highlighted the show's post-apocalyptic setting, environmental disasters, political divisions and the mystery surrounding the cataclysm.

Konietzko explained that the creative team had long considered exploring a society built on the ruins of an earlier civilization.

"We wanted to do a post-apocalyptic thing," said Bryan Konietzko.

He described the moment when the team decided to develop that concept into a new series.

"And then at the beginning of 2021, we were like, 'This is that time.' You don't know how many opportunities you get. That's when we really started digging in," Konietzko said.

Co-executive producer Sehaj Sethi said the damaged world shapes the responsibilities placed on the young protagonists.

"A big theme we're playing with here is that the world is destroyed," Sethi said.

She explained that the story's guiding principle is to equip the sisters to confront a dangerous environment rather than shield them from every hardship.

"I do feel I've put a burden on my kids' shoulders. We've given them a screwed-up world," Sethi said.

She connected that burden to the qualities she hopes the characters will develop.

"The only way I could make sense of that is, if I'm like, I need to make you brave, strong, and kind enough that you find a way to fix this. That's my guiding light with Pavi and Nisha. 'I cannot save you from danger, I cannot save you from pain. But we can help you face it,'" Sethi said.

Executive producer Ethan Spaulding identified the sisters' shared identity as a central creative decision.

"The twin aspect was the key to the whole thing," Spaulding said. "It's like How can that even happen? And the sibling rivalry of two sisters. That's the main thing."

DiMartino said the characters' separation and recovery of lost memories provide an important foundation for the first book.

"What's interesting is they don't know each other at first. There's a lot in the series about memories and digging into the past, finding how this all came to be," DiMartino said.

Konietzko also emphasized the franchise's willingness to evolve beyond its established fantasy setting.

"Mike and I are always in favor of allowing Avatar to change," Konietzko said. "It's not this perpetual fantasy that's locked in the same state of progress or equilibrium. It's a dynamic world.

We liked the idea of, 'What if the world was not looking for the Avatar to come back?' That was something we hadn't done yet, and was one of the big sparks."

The second announced project, Avatar Kuruk: Wave of Chaos, follows a rebellious teenage Avatar who rejects thousands of years of tradition by traveling the world to learn the four elements. The character must evade an angry teacher, pirates and chaotic spirits while helping communities through unconventional methods.

Avatar Studios and Nickelodeon Animation Studios are producing the new series, with Konietzko serving as showrunner. Its announcement expands the franchise beyond Seven Havens as the latest series begins its scheduled release of 13 opening episodes.
