Nickelodeon has released the first look at the upcoming animated series “Avatar: Seven Havens,” the sequel series to the popular shows “Avatar: The Last Airbender” and “The Legend of Korra.”

The artwork was revealed at San Diego Comic Con on Thursday, where “Avatar” celebrated its 20th anniversary.

Oof, I'm not really feeling the art style, seems a little cluttered. I get that it needs to adapt to the contemporary landscape of animation though I was hoping they stayed with the more grounded look of the previous series. I'll still watch, hoping the story is really good.

    It's just concept art. The show's style will be different, see the original LoK promo:

    That said, I love this promo. The full res version looks much better, if you havent' seen it: https://variety.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Aurora_Press1_06_04_25_Horizontal-1.jpg

    I mean, I don't hate it and I appreciate the references it's pulling from. This particular image is just doing too much for me; and I get it, it's introducing us to a whole bunch of new info and is concept art; but I wish it was more subtle. Just my personal taste, no biggie. I have a lot of love for the stories of this universe, I watched when the og show debuted and I'm aware that the new stuff is not gonna cater completely to me, regardless I'll be seated.

    to be brutally honest it feels like the cover of a generic (young) children's fantasy book, it's too.. grand and colourful

    i think it's also that the protagonist looks so realistically young, Aang was 12 when he came out of the iceberg but he didn't really look 12 and only sorta acted his age for a few episodes, because otherwise it'd be kinda grating to watch as an adult and espically as an older teenager..
