\n\tParamount+\u2019s Avatar<\/a> universe is expanding, with Avatar: Seven Havens<\/a> earning a two-season renewal, alongside the announcement of a new series, Avatar Kuruk: Wave of Chaos. Wave of Chaos was described as the Avatar universe\u2019s first action comedy, and follows a 14-year-old Kuruk during a time of peace. This was the first official word on the series, which was reported on over the summer<\/a> by Knight Edge Media.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe news came as part of the Avatar: Seven Havens panel at New York Comic Con on Friday morning, which coincided with the series\u2019 Friday drop on Paramount+. From co-creators and executive producers Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, Avatar: Seven Havens is the latest chapter in the Avatar: The Last Airbender<\/a> universe, set in a world shattered by a devastating cataclysm. It follows the newest Avatar, a young Earthbender who takes over from former Avatar Korra (Legend of Korra).<\/p>\n

\n\tAlong with the series renewal \u2014 which means the latest chapter in the Avatar universe will continue on for Books 3 and 4 \u2014 and new show announcement, an Avatar: Seven Havens podcast is also coming alongside a Seven Havens expansion for Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game. The game will soon feature Seven Havens in-game character colorways and Sonam\u2019s temple stage, while the podcast will feature conversations with the show\u2019s cast and creators. An artbook and novelization of the Avatar Aang film will also release Nov. 10, with more new music and books \u2014 including a new Legend of Korra book, The Long Game, which will go into the origin of the Red Lotus \u2014 also among the upcoming releases.<\/p>\n

\n\tDuring the panel, which featured cast members Saheli Khan (\u201cPavi\u201d), Aishu Devan (\u201cNisha\u201d) and Major Curda (\u201cJae\u201d), Seven Havens producers Bryan Konietzko, Ethan Spaulding and Sehaj Sethi discussed expanding the universe and thematic conflicts they are intentionally engaging in with this latest installment. In terms of what fans should expect, the look went for a very intentional old-school \u201870s anime style that is also more serialized than previous entries in the franchise.<\/p>\n

\n\tAccording to the creative team, Seven Havens was an opportunity to evolve what has already existed in the universe. \u201cSome ideas are really old ideas from the Avatar days that wove their way into this,\u201d said Konietzko. \u201cWe are excited to see where the Avatar world can go into the future and visit a new Avatar, a different version of the world.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWhat interested me the most was that they were so willing to evolve everything. That they were really interested in saying, we told these two different stories; what\u2019s the next iteration? What takes us even further?\u201d said Sethi. \u201cIt was really exciting to me that we weren\u2019t just repeating\u2026 we were going to tell a whole new story.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWhat I really wanted to bring to this was this idea that there\u2019s so much gray area to everything, to every storyline, to everything that you see. I remember telling them in my first meeting, \u2018I want people to finish an episode and look at each other and they can argue two different sides. This is why I believe this person\u2019s right, and the other person [can say this is] why I believe an entirely different thing,\u2019\u201d she continued. \u201cThere are no villains in the story. There are protagonists and antagonists. Everyone has a side and a point of view. I wanted to show the complexity of different ways of looking at things.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tDuring the panel, which featured footage, animatics and various kinds of series art, there was also discussion of how the series approached its new Avatars, orphan Pavi and her long-lost twin sister Nisha, with the producers working with the show\u2019s board artists and directors to \u201creally emphasize her expressions\u201d and maintain the understanding of the Avatar\u2019s young age.<\/p>\n

\n\tLater in the discussion, the show also briefly touched on its Southeast Asian and LGBTQ+ representation. \u201cThere has been some wonderful queer representation in Avatar Legends and some of the graphic novels. But it\u2019s really exciting because of how it\u2019s not a huge deal,\u201d voice actor Curda told the packed Main Stage panel, while speaking to the show\u2019s canon gay relationship. \u201cJae is a character. Here is this new character Datu (Topher Ngo) they\u2019re boyfriend. It\u2019s just such a wonderful exemplification of love is love.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Paramount+\u2019s Avatar universe is expanding, with Avatar: Seven Havens earning a two-season renewal, alongside the announcement of a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":649779,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[32159,108508,93,61,60,282],"class_list":["post-649778","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-avatar","tag-avatar-the-last-airbender","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/649778","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=649778"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/649778\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/649779"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=649778"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=649778"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=649778"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
