The Series Premiere of ‘Avatar: Seven Havens’ Is a Little Rocky, But It’s Got Potential

Avatar: Seven Havens, the latest series from Avatar: The Last Airbender creators Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, arrives on Paramount+ 12 years after its over-hated predecessor, the closest any animated series has come to a Ship of Theseus paradox. After weathering rocky live-action projects and a feature-length animated film kneecapped by an extremely limited theatrical release after a massive leak, Seven Havens, helmed by a new animation studio, sees the franchise disembark on streaming’s rocky shores, where shows rarely make it past a second season.

With a second “book” already in the works, Avatar: Seven Havens’ arrival still raises a fair question: does the world truly want another Avatar series? Maybe some legacies are better left resting. But after three episodes beyond its premiere, Avatar: Seven Havens takes a beat before meeting the moment as the latest sequel series to one of the best animated shows of all time. Once it does, it lays the groundwork for a show that may not reach the towering heights of its predecessors, but it undeniably expands its universe in ways that feel strange and ambitious, mostly in the best way possible.

Off the bat, the most striking and peculiar aspect of Avatar: Seven Havens is how it uses real-world discourse about its predecessor as the bedrock for the new show. Set 225 years after The Legend of Korra , humanity no longer sees its eponymous reincarnating peacemaker as its last hope; they see the Avatar, specifically Korra (Janet Varney) herself, as its ruiner.
