When it comes to popular animated franchises, few have had the same staying power over the last 20 years as Avatar: The Last Airbender. The franchise first launched all the way back in 2005 with the original animated series created by Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante DiMartino, and now, more than 20 years later, the duo are back with a brand-new series streaming now. Paramount presented the first three episodes of Avatar: Seven Havens this afternoon, and fans needn’t worry about cancellation—the studio announced today that the show has been renewed through Season 4, so it will be around for a while. The Avatar franchise has stayed around for so long thanks to its ability to invent beloved new characters, but a new project is officially coming soon that’s going to shine a spotlight on an overlooked hero.

There have been three Avatars in the history of the franchise to receive shows centered around them — Aang, Korra, and now Pavi — but fans have met several other Avatars through visions and flashbacks. One of the most beloved figures in the Avatar franchise who has never quite received their due, at least on screen, is Avatar Kuruk, a waterbending Avatar who lived years before Aang. Officially announced this afternoon at Paramount’s ATLA panel is a new animated series, Avatar Kuruk: Wave of Chaos, a new animated series coming to Paramount+ courtesy of showrunner Bryan Konietzko. No word yet on exactly when the new series will be released, but it is confirmed to be the next installment in the iconic animated franchise.

What Is ‘Avatar Kuruk: Wave of Chaos’ About?

Casting for Avatar Kuruk: Wave of Chaos is being kept under wraps for now, but Paramount did confirm the first official details about the series during the panel this afternoon. The show will follow a young Avatar Kuruk who disregards thousands of years of tradition by choosing to learn the elements by traveling across the world, staying one step ahead of his frustrated teacher, pirates, and all the world has to throw at him. Despite his young and adventurous spirit, Avatar Kuruk is still committed to helping the world in his own way.
