Avatar: Seven Havens, the latest series set in Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko's beloved Avatar: The Last Airbender universe, will premiere globally on Friday, October 9. The news was announced during San Diego Comic Con on Thursday (July 23) with Nickelodeon and Avatar Studios sharing a first teaser for the highly anticipated new series.
The October 9 premiere date should stick out to fans, as it was originally the date set for the premiere of the movie Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender, before that release was moved up to Saturday, July 25. How the series will rollout (boxset drop or regularly released episodes) is still being determined.
The Avatar franchise is set in a universe where people called benders are able to control one of four elements: water, earth, fire and air. Only the Avatar, someone who emerges once a generation, is able to control all four elements. The franchise has followed the various Avatars over the year. The Last Airbender followed Aang, an airbender who was the last of his time and who helped the world escape the rule of the Fire Nation. The Legend of Korra followed a waterbender named Korra who opened the portals between the physical and spirit worlds, a decision that was originally made by the first Avatar Wan. Korra did so because she believed these two realms were meant to coexist. Now Seven Havens will show audiences what happened after Korra.
Seven Havens follows a young earthbender who becomes the Avatar during a time when the Avatar is thought to be humanity’s destroyer rather than its savior. In this new and dangerous world, she will be hunted by human and spirit foes alike. Only by joining forces with her long-lost twin can the sisters uncover their mysterious origins and save the Seven Havens before civilization itself collapses. Check out the first trailer below:
Per the official logline, the new show “centers around a young Earthbender who discovers she’s the new Avatar after Korra in a world shattered by a devastating cataclysm. 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.”
The upcoming series stars Saheli Khan as Pavi, Aishu Devan as Nisha, Akshay Khanna as Karthik, Major Curda as Jae, Sakina Jaffrey as Agam, Darren Barnet as Daemin, Dianne Doan as Zi and Dee Bradley Baker as Geet and Ruhi.
Avatar: Seven Havens is created by franchise masterminds Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, who also serve as executive producers via Avatar Studios. Ethan Spaulding is an executive producer as well, with Sehaj Sethi as co-executive producer. Nickelodeon and Avatar Studios produce. There will be 26 episodes in the first season of the show.
Like past Avatar shows, Seven Havens is divided into two “books” comprised of 13 episodes each.

This year, the world of Avatar took over Comic Con’s Hall H for the first time thanks to a panel highlighting The Last Airbender spinoff movie, Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender.
