The first Book of Avatar: Seven Havens is, er, in the books with this week’s finale, “The Root Chakra.” And while the final four episodes answered a number of big questions, they raised a ton more — not just about what to expect in Season 2 of the Paramount+ animated series, but Seasons 3, 4, and perhaps beyond. It’s a good thing, then, that we have show co-creator Michael Dante DiMartino and showrunners Sehaj Sethi and Ethan Spaulding on hand to answer all your burning questions.

…Or at least, answer what they can. While we got to see Pavi (Saheli Khan) step up as the Avatar in the finale, unlock her Root Chakra, and head off on a classic Avatar journey to the Floating Isles next season, Nisha (Aishu Devan) — surprisingly — was not part of that unlocking and is staying (for now) in the Haven of Ellora. Not only that, but we also saw Nisha was at least in part the cause of the Fear Anomaly that’s been attacking Ellora all season long, activated when her parents abandoned her; as a side effect, she accidentally killed her parents in a rock slide.

But there are still the questions of why and how Avatar Korra caused a Cataclysm 225 years earlier, how there are twin Avatars now, and many more mysteries and surprises to explore. So let’s get into it and see what DiMartino, Sethi, and Spaulding can answer about the future of the Avatar franchise.

Before we get to that, though, earlier this week the world of animation suffered a shocking loss with the passing of actor Eric Bauza at age 46.
