Nickelodeon Announces Avatar: Seven Havens as Post-Korra Series
Nickelodeon and Avatar Studios have officially announced Avatar: Seven Havens, a brand-new 2D animated series set after The Legend of Korra.
The upcoming show will follow a young Earthbender who discovers she is the next Avatar in a world devastated by a cataclysmic event.
According to Nickelodeon's press release, this new Avatar series will explore a darker era where the Avatar is seen not as a savior, but as a harbinger of destruction. Hunted by both humans and spirits, the young Earthbender must unravel her origins alongside her long-lost twin to save the Seven Havens, civilization's last hope.
Creators Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, who originally developed Avatar: The Last Airbender, expressed their excitement:
"When we created the original series, we never imagined we'd still be expanding the world decades later. This new incarnation of the Avatarverse is full of fantasy, mystery, and a whole new cast of amazing characters."
The series will span 26 episodes, split into two seasons of 13 episodes each. DiMartino and Konietzko are co-creating the show alongside executive producers Ethan Spaulding and Sehaj Sethi.
This marks Avatar Studios' first mainline TV series, alongside their upcoming Aang-centered animated movie, set for a January 30, 2026 theatrical release. In celebration of Avatar's 20th anniversary, Nickelodeon also announced new books, comics, concerts, toys, and a Roblox game.

Florence Pugh and Melissa McCarthy support canceled Tiny Chef Show as creators launch fundraising campaign
The creators of The Tiny Chef Show are receiving overwhelming support from fans and celebrities following Nickelodeon's decision to cancel the Emmy and Annie Award-winning series after three seasons. In a recent interview with Vulture, co-creators Ozi Akturk and Rachel Larsen shared insights into the show's unexpected cancellation and the response that followed. 'We didn't expect this kind of attention,' said Akturk, noting that the show's YouTube comment count surged from under 100 to over a thousand. 'People who didn't know Chef were coming from Twitter and BuzzFeed to see what's happening.' Larsen expressed gratitude for the outpouring of support, saying the show has connected with a new audience. 'We're getting people saying, 'I just found you, but I want to support you.' It's resonating,' she said. 'We want Chef to feel real. He's such a lovable, wholesome, funny little fella. The stop-motion is just a tool to give people permission to play along that he's real.' Among those showing support are actors Florence Pugh and Melissa McCarthy, both of whom publicly engaged with the show's content. Indie studio A24 also reached out to the creators. In response to the cancellation, the team quickly turned to creative storytelling to keep Chef's spirit alive. They produced a video imagining Tiny Chef receiving the cancellation call. The project took three weeks to complete, from scripting and recording to animation and editing. To sustain the character independently, the team launched a fundraising campaign that has brought in approximately $80,000 through one-time donations and fan-club memberships. As the creators continue exploring Chef's next chapter, they remain hopeful that this wave of support might pave a new way forward — not just for Tiny Chef, but for other shows in similar positions. 'We can make good stuff no matter what,' Larsen said. 'People should stay tuned and watch his journey.'

Legend of Aang delayed to October 2026 as TMNT sequel moves to 2027
Paramount Pictures has shifted its release schedule for several major animated films. The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender, the highly anticipated follow-up to the beloved Avatar: The Last Airbender series, will now debut on October 9, 2026, instead of the originally planned January 30 date. The film will feature voice talents Dave Bautista, Steven Yeun, and Eric Nam, with Lauren Montgomery and William Mata directing. The animated feature takes place years after the 2005 Nickelodeon series, which followed Aang, a 12-year-old Avatar mastering all four elements to save the world from the Fire Nation. The delay is expected to give more time for post-production and enhance fan expectations. Meanwhile, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem 2 has also been delayed. Previously slated for October 9, 2026, it will now hit theaters on September 17, 2027. Directed by Jeff Rowe and produced by Point Grey Pictures, the sequel follows the success of 2023's Mutant Mayhem. To bridge the two films, a spinoff series titled Tales of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will launch on Paramount+, with original voice actors Micah Abbey, Shamon Brown Jr., Nicolas Cantu, and Brady Noon returning. On a more positive scheduling note, Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie will now release one week earlier, on July 24, 2026. The voice cast includes Jameela Jamil, Terry Crews, Paris Hilton, Snoop Dogg, and Bill Nye. The film is produced by Spin Master Entertainment and Nickelodeon Movies. These changes reflect Paramount's evolving animation strategy and the growing demand for expanded universes in family-friendly franchises.
