We’re lower than a month away from the premiere of a model new present within the Avatar-verse, which is going on 12 full years after The Legend of Korra ended its run. Avatar: Seven Havens begins streaming by way of Paramount+ on October 9 and we lastly have an actual beefy trailer to get us pumped.
We acquired some footage again in July, however that was extra of a teaser. That is almost three minutes of the present, full with character voices and loads of hints as to the place the story goes. The animation additionally appears to be like very good, which is typical for the franchise.
The story appears to be like steeped in post-apocalyptic taste. One thing dangerous occurred after the occasions of The Legend of Korra and the world is in shambles, forcing survivors to retreat to the titular seven havens. As a matter of reality, Korra is being blamed for these occasions (which is on model) so public sentiment has shifted negatively towards your entire idea of Avatars.
Enter Avatar Pavi, a younger lady who will possible should go on the run as soon as individuals work out her id. She has a twin sister, which might be organising some wild spirit world shenanigans. Identical to the opposite reveals, she has a buddy group that (hopefully) has her again.
For the uninitiated, this franchise began with Avatar: The Final Airbender greater than 20 years in the past. Every of the next reveals introduces a brand new Avatar, after the earlier one has died. It is a Dalai Lama kind of factor, however with element-based superpowers.
The Legend of Korra was set a full 70 years after the primary one. The showrunners of Seven Havens, together with franchise co-creator Michael Dante DiMartino, not too long ago confirmed to Polygon that it takes place a full 200 years after Korra. That possible means we cannot be getting older variations of supporting Korra characters, just like the bad-ass grandma Toph and old-man Zuko in that sequence. How did Korra stay that lengthy? We’ll discover out, although it is not remarkable within the lore.
The primary three episodes drop on October 9, with the present following a weekly launch schedule after that. It is already been renewed, so two 13-episode seasons are coming our approach.
This has been a busy yr for the franchise. We simply acquired a film that adopted the grownup model of Avatar Aang. It was fairly superior, even when it did leak in its entirety on-line months earlier than it got here out. The second season of the live-action Netflix present additionally dropped earlier this yr, with a 3rd and ultimate one on the best way.
