The series, billed as “the next installment” in the franchise, will be produced by Avatar Studios and Nickelodeon Animation Studios. Bryan Konietzko, the “Avatar” co-creator alongside Michael Dante DiMartino, will serve as showrunner.
The series’ logline reads: “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.”
Paramount+ also released first-look images from the series, which can be seen above and below.
Konietzko and DiMartino unveiled the series during a New York Comic-Con “Avatar” panel on Friday, coinciding with the premiere of “Avatar: Seven Havens,” their show following the latest Avatar. The panel was moderated by Janet Varney, who voiced Korra in “The Legend of Korra.”
The co-creators also revealed “Avatar: Seven Havens” was renewed for two additional seasons, or Books 3 and 4.
