Nickelodeon Announces Avatar: Seven Havens as Post-Korra Series
The upcoming show will follow a young Earthbender who discovers she is the next Avatar in a world devastated by a cataclysmic event.
According to Nickelodeon's press release, this new Avatar series will explore a darker era where the Avatar is seen not as a savior, but as a harbinger of destruction. Hunted by both humans and spirits, the young Earthbender must unravel her origins alongside her long-lost twin to save the Seven Havens, civilization's last hope.
Creators Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, who originally developed Avatar: The Last Airbender, expressed their excitement:
"When we created the original series, we never imagined we'd still be expanding the world decades later. This new incarnation of the Avatarverse is full of fantasy, mystery, and a whole new cast of amazing characters."
The series will span 26 episodes, split into two seasons of 13 episodes each. DiMartino and Konietzko are co-creating the show alongside executive producers Ethan Spaulding and Sehaj Sethi.
This marks Avatar Studios' first mainline TV series, alongside their upcoming Aang-centered animated movie, set for a January 30, 2026 theatrical release. In celebration of Avatar's 20th anniversary, Nickelodeon also announced new books, comics, concerts, toys, and a Roblox game.

James Cameron explains focus on Avatar films and hopes they can inspire connection with nature
James Cameron has said that his decision to devote the past two decades of his career to the Avatar franchise has been motivated by more than financial success. Speaking to Rolling Stone, the director explained that he sees the films as an opportunity to promote themes of environmental awareness and human connection. 'I've justified making Avatar movies to myself for the last 20 years, not based on how much money we made, but on the basis that hopefully it can do some good,' Cameron said. 'It can help connect us to our lost aspect of ourself that connects with nature and respects nature.' The original Avatar (2009) remains the highest-grossing film of all time, earning $2.9 billion worldwide. Its sequel, Avatar: The Way of Water (2022), holds the third-highest record with $2.3 billion. Cameron described the films as a 'Trojan horse strategy' — offering entertainment while encouraging reflection on environmental and social themes. While preparing new projects such as The Devils and Ghosts of Hiroshima, Cameron is currently in post-production on Avatar: Fire and Ash, set for release on December 19 2025. He has confirmed he feels healthy enough to direct Avatar 4 and Avatar 5. The filmmaker noted that his long-term commitment to the series mirrors that of other creators who stayed within a single universe. 'Why did [George] Lucas keep working in the same thing? Why did [Gene] Roddenberry keep working in the same thing? Because when you connect with people, why would you squander that?' he said. Cameron has not made a non-Avatar film since Titanic in 1997, but said the expansive world of Pandora allows him to tell a wide range of stories and experiment with different styles while maintaining the franchise's core themes.

Jason Reitman exits 'I'm Glad My Mom Died' series over creative differences with Jennette McCurdy
Jennifer Aniston's upcoming Apple TV+ limited series I'm Glad My Mom Died, based on Jennette McCurdy's bestselling memoir, is now at risk of being put on hold indefinitely after director Jason Reitman unexpectedly exited the project. Photo: AFP Reitman, known for Juno and Up in the Air, reportedly left following creative disagreements with McCurdy, who also serves as showrunner. The 10-episode drama-comedy is produced by Aniston who is set to portray Debra McCurdy, Jennette's late mother. Despite being backed by a strong production team, including Margot Robbie, Jerrod Carmichael, and Sharon Horgan, producers now have just two weeks to secure a new director. Sources told Puck that Reitman's departure followed a dispute that turned 'disrespectful,' as he aimed for a more comedic tone than McCurdy found appropriate. Although the memoir includes humour, it primarily deals with serious issues, including McCurdy's abuse allegations against her mother and former Nickelodeon producer Dan Schneider. McCurdy's book, released in 2022, quickly topped the New York Times bestsellers list and gained widespread attention for its honest depiction of childhood trauma and industry exploitation.

'Avatar: Fire and Ash' trailer reveals new tribe and conflict ahead of December 2025 cinema release
Disney has released the first trailer for Avatar: Fire and Ash, the third film in James Cameron's Avatar franchise, scheduled for theatrical release on December 19 2025. The trailer introduces the Ash People, a new tribe on Pandora, known for their association with fire and their aggressive tactics. Director James Cameron previewed the film at the 2024 D23 Expo, describing it as a continuation of the expansive narrative that began in Avatar: The Way of Water. Cameron noted that the third film explores 'really challenging territory' for its central characters and brings emotional stakes that surpass the previous instalments. The trailer reveals that Jake Sully, played by Sam Worthington, and the Metkayina clan are now confronting the Ash People, led by a character named Varang, portrayed by Oona Chaplin. The footage shows Varang commanding fire and forming an alliance with Colonel Quaritch, reprised by Stephen Lang. Her closing line in the trailer, 'Your goddess has no dominion here,' sets the tone for the new conflict. Returning cast members include Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver, Kate Winslet, Cliff Curtis, and Britain Dalton. New additions to the cast feature Michelle Yeoh and David Thewlis. According to Cameron, Fire and Ash was originally part of a combined storyline with The Way of Water, but the project expanded into two films during development. He also teased that the Ash People represent a more violent contrast to the previously introduced Na'vi clans.
