Today at New York Comic Con, Avatar: The Last Airbender co-creators Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko revealed to thousands of fans that Avatar: Seven Havens has officially been renewed for Books 3 and 4 on Paramount+. In addition, they announced a new Paramount+ original animated series, Avatar Kuruk: Wave of Chaos, as the next installment in the iconic franchise.
Konietzko and DiMartino were joined on the panel by fellow Avatar: Seven Havens executive producer Ethan Spaulding and co-executive producer Sehaj Sethi, along with the voices of Pavi, Nisha and Jae: Saheli Khan, Aishu Devan and Major Curda. Moderated by the original voice of Korra, Janet Varney, the panel gave fans exclusive insight into the making of the series, plus a special ‘script to screen’ clip.
Avatar: Seven Havens Books 3 and 4 will continue the story of Avatar Pavi and her twin sister Nisha.

More details on Books 2, 3, and 4 will follow at a later date.
In Avatar Kuruk: Wave of Chaos, a rebellious teenage Avatar bucks thousands of years of tradition by choosing to learn the four elements through globetrotting adventures, staying one step ahead of his angry teacher, rowdy pirates, and chaotic spirits – all while helping the world in his own unique ways.
Today’s panel attendees were treated to an exclusive first look at Kuruk and his pet, Nikik. The upcoming series is produced by Avatar Studios and Nickelodeon Animation Studios with co-creator Bryan Konietzko serving as showrunner.
