Avatar: Seven Havens: Cast, Plot and Where to Watch

Avatar: Seven Havens is the newest animated series in the Avatar franchise. It arrived on Paramount+ on 9 October 2026 and follows the story of The Legend of Korra by more than two centuries. This guide covers the setting, the characters, the voice cast, the people behind it and what is coming next.

What is Avatar: Seven Havens?

Seven Havens is a hand-drawn 2D animated series made under the Avatar Studios banner, part of Nickelodeon Animation. It is the third animated series in the franchise, after Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra. Netflix's live-action remake of the original show is a separate project.

The series is aimed at a family audience. Episodes run at around 23 minutes, and listings carry a TV-PG rating. Book 1 is subtitled Survival and has 13 episodes. The show was originally planned as two books of 13 episodes each, 26 in total.

The story so far

The action takes place about 225 years after Korra's era. A world-changing cataclysm has wiped out the old Four Nations. Survivors now live in seven fortified cities, the Havens, while the world outside has become hostile to people.

Pavi is a young Earthbender living on her own in the haven city of Ellora. She learns that she is the Avatar who follows Korra. In this broken world, that is not good news. Many people see the Avatar as the cause of humanity's ruin, not its protector.

Pavi is hunted by both human and spirit enemies. She also discovers a long-lost twin sister, Nisha, who was raised separately. Together the sisters try to learn where they came from and to stop the Havens falling apart. The seven cities echo the seven chakras, a link the show uses in its design and symbolism.

Twin Avatars

Two Avatars at once is a first for the franchise. Pavi starts out timid and untrained, and she would rather spend time with her newly found family than carry the Avatar's burden. Nisha has been trained for the role. The contrast between the sisters drives much of the early drama. Pavi is also noticeably younger than Aang and Korra were when their stories began.

Voice cast

The lead cast is mostly new to the franchise. The main exception is Dee Bradley Baker, who voiced Appa and Momo in The Last Airbender. Here he plays Pavi and Nisha's two cat-monkey companions, Geet and Ruhi.

Jae is an airbender in Ellora's guard who becomes Pavi's mentor and friend. Karthik is the airbending Captain of that guard and is the person who raised Nisha. Khan is reported to be making her first major screen appearance in the lead role. Curda has credits that include Riverdale and Atypical, and Barnet is known for Never Have I Ever.

Who made it?

Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, who created The Last Airbender, return as co-creators and executive producers. Sehaj Sethi developed the series and was closely involved in the writing. Ethan Spaulding is also credited among the producers. The series has a strong South Asian influence in its cast, characters and world, which Sethi, Khan and Devan have discussed in interviews.

The show also treats a gay relationship as an ordinary part of its world. Curda has said he likes how little fuss the story makes about it.

Nickelodeon announced the series in February 2025. An early toy-industry report suggested a 2027 start, but it reached screens earlier than that.

Where to watch

Seven Havens streams on Paramount+, and it is not on Netflix, Disney+ or Max. Both the Essential and Premium plans carry it in the US. Availability and plan names differ by country, so check your own Paramount+ service before subscribing. Book 1 is listed as running from 9 October to 30 October 2026.

What comes next

Paramount+ has renewed Seven Havens for Books 3 and 4, announced at New York Comic Con. Book 2 has been ordered, but no release date has been given for it or the later books.

A separate series, Avatar Kuruk: Wave of Chaos, has also been announced. Billed as the Avatar world's first action comedy, it follows Kuruk at 14, in a time of peace. Konietzko is attached to it, and no release date has been confirmed.

Where it fits in the Avatar story

You do not need to have seen every earlier series, but a little background helps. The Last Airbender introduced the world and the Avatar cycle. The Legend of Korra moved it into a more modern era. Seven Havens takes the story much further on, into a science-fiction-tinged post-disaster future. It also leaves the familiar Four Nations behind.

That mix of a known mythology and a bleak, unfamiliar setting is the series' main draw. New viewers can follow Pavi's story from the start, and long-time fans get a fresh look at the Avatar's role. It will be interesting to see how the later books build on the twin Avatars.
