Creator insight: Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko describe Seven Havens as 'something totally different' stylistically, signaling a distinct visual direction from prior Avatar installments.
Avatar: Seven Havens will debut on Paramount+ on October 9, with all 26 episodes dropping at once for binge viewing, according to IGN. The new 2D-animated series comes from original Avatar creators Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, marking their return to the franchise they built.
The story follows Pavi, an Earthbender who discovers she is the Avatar after Korra — but in a world that fears the Avatar as a destroyer, not a savior. Her long-lost twin Nisha joins her as they race to save the last pockets of civilization, known as the Seven Havens, before they collapse entirely, Gizmodo reported.
Twin Avatars Hunted in a Post-Cataclysm World
The world of Seven Havens has been shattered by a cataclysm. Survivors live in seven remaining strongholds. Pavi is Korra's successor as Avatar, but both humans and spirits hunt her down as a threat rather than a hero, Headtopics reported. Her twin Nisha is hunted alongside her.
Together, Pavi and Nisha must uncover the truth about their origins while stopping the Seven Havens from falling. The series is split into two 'books' across its 26 total episodes, Comics Beat reported. The first teaser, shown at San Diego Comic-Con, also features a brief cameo from Korra herself.

Saheli Khan voices Pavi and Aishu Devan voices Nisha. The supporting cast includes Akshay Khanna as Karthik, Major Curda as Jae, Sakina Jaffrey as Agam, Darren Barnet as Daemin, and Dianne Doan as Zi, according to Comics Beat. Dee Bradley Baker, a franchise veteran, returns to voice two new characters: Geet and Ruhi.
Creators Promise a Look Unlike Any Prior Avatar
DiMartino and Konietzko described Seven Havens as 'something totally different' in terms of visual style, IGN reported. Avatar Studios and Nickelodeon are producing the series, with Ethan Spaulding and Sehaj Sethi serving as executive producers.
The show is set in the world of Allura, a name new to the franchise. The October 9 release also builds momentum ahead of the upcoming Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender project on Paramount+, giving the platform a major animated franchise to anchor its lineup, according to Gizmodo.
Binge-All-at-Once Rollout Sets New Avatar Precedent
Unlike the original series, which aired weekly on Nickelodeon, Seven Havens lands all 26 episodes on Paramount+ in a single day. That is a major shift for the franchise. Fans can watch both full books back to back from the start, IGN confirmed.
The release date was formally announced during the Avatar: Seven Havens panel at San Diego Comic-Con, where the teaser trailer also made its debut, per Comics Beat. The panel gave fans their first real look at the new visual style and the twin-Avatar storyline driving the series.
