'Avatar: Seven Havens' Reveals How Many Years Passed Since 'The Legend of Korra'

In an interview with Polygon, executive producer Sehaj Sethi and co-creator Michael DiMartino revealed that the new series Avatar: Seven Havens will take place around 226 years after the events of The Legend of Korra.

The Avatar Studios production, which premieres on October 9 on Paramount+ with 26 episodes, also had its cultural influences and the context of the new world detailed by the team.

According to DiMartino, development on the series began about six years after Korra ended. The team wanted to set the story in a post-cataclysmic world and "threw around ideas to see what kind of Avatar would make the most sense in that world." The new Avatar, Pavi, is a kind-hearted person, but she lives in a world that hates Avatars — and the big question driving the plot is: "How did the world get so bad? Why does everyone hate the Avatar?"
