Additional news of the premiere date and casting will be announced at a later date.
Seven Havens will consist of 26 2D-animated episodes and centers around a young Earthbender who discovers she’s the new Avatar. Set in a world shattered by a devastating cataclysm, a young Earthbender discovers she’s the new Avatar after Korra – but in this dangerous era, that title marks her as humanity’s destroyer, not its savior.
