A Follow-Up to *Avatar: The Last Airbender* Is on Its Way – And Our Theories Are Here


**Nickelodeon Unveils New ‘Avatar’ Sequel Series, *Avatar: Seven Havens***

*Avatar: The Last Airbender* is set to commemorate its 20th anniversary on February 21, 2025, and what better way to honor this milestone than with the reveal of a brand-new sequel series?

As reported by [*Variety*](https://variety.com/2025/tv/news/avatar-last-airbender-seven-havens-animated-series-nickelodeon-1236313495/), Nickelodeon and Avatar Studios have officially approved *Avatar: Seven Havens*, a fresh 2D animated series led by *Avatar* creators Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko. The series is currently in development and will feature 26 half-hour episodes divided into two seasons (or “books”).

### What is *Avatar: Seven Havens* About?

*Avatar: Seven Havens* will center on the next Earth Avatar following Korra, indicating that fans will need to say goodbye to cherished *Legend of Korra* characters such as Korra, Asami, and Tenzin. Although it has been over ten years since *Korra* concluded, many fans may still be reluctant to let go.

The official synopsis indicates that the world has experienced significant transformations since we last visited, now devastated by a catastrophic event. This hints that the new series will feature an *Avatar*-style apocalypse.

The logline states:

> “A young Earthbender realizes she’s the new Avatar after Korra – but in this perilous time, that title brands her as humanity’s destroyer, not its protector. Pursued by both human and spirit foes, she and her long-lost twin must uncover their enigmatic origins and rescue the Seven Havens before the last bastions of civilization fall apart.”

This succinct overview prompts numerous intriguing inquiries. What triggered this disastrous occurrence? Did Korra have a hand in it, resulting in the Avatar being perceived as a villain instead of a champion? And what exactly do the Seven Havens entail? Could they represent a new version of the Four Nations, now fragmented by calamity?

One of the most captivating elements of this synopsis is the reference to the Avatar having a twin. While the idea of twins in the *Avatar* realm isn’t entirely novel—Randy Ribay’s novel *The Reckoning of Roku* unveiled that Avatar Roku had a twin brother who passed away young—this marks the first instance of an Avatar’s twin surviving into adulthood. This could introduce an exhilarating new angle to the narrative.

### Could *Avatar: Seven Havens* Introduce Twin Avatars?

There are multiple avenues the series might explore regarding the bond between the Avatar and their twin. One scenario could mirror the dynamic between Katara and Sokka in *The Last Airbender*, where one sibling is a bender and the other is not. What would it be like to grow up next to the most potent bender in the world? How would this affect their relationship and self-identity?

Another potential angle connects to *Avatar* mythology introduced in *The Legend of Korra*. In Season 2, it was disclosed that the Avatar’s abilities are derived from Raava, the spirit of light, who merged with Wan, the first Avatar. Raava’s dark counterpart, Vaatu, briefly joined with Unalaq to form a Dark Avatar. Although Raava was initially destroyed, she was reborn within the Dark Avatar Spirit, allowing Korra to reunite with her after defeating Unalaq and Vaatu.

Since a fragment of Vaatu remains within the Avatar Spirit, *Seven Havens* could explore the concept of Vaatu separating from Raava, resulting in two Avatars—one embodying light and the other darkness. This could introduce a compelling new conflict: Would these twins be allies or adversaries? Could their contrasting essences restore balance to a world in turmoil, or would it merely lead to additional chaos?

With a myriad of possibilities, fans have much to ponder until *Avatar: Seven Havens* makes its debut. Regardless of the path the series takes, it is bound to infuse fresh excitement into the cherished *Avatar* universe.
