Paramount+ has ordered Avatar Kuruk: Wave of Chaos, an Paramount+ original animated series focused on the Water Tribe Avatar three generations before Avatar Aang. Billed as the "next installment" of the iconic Avatar franchise, the announcement was made onstage in front of thousands of fans during the New York Comic-Con panel for Avatar: Seven Havens, which premiered today (Oct. 9) on Paramount+.
In Avatar Kuruk: Wave of Chaos a rebellious teenage Avatar bucks thousands of years of tradition by choosing to learn the four elements through globetrotting adventures, staying one step ahead of his angry teacher, rowdy pirates, and chaotic spirits - all while helping the world in his own unique ways.
Panel attendees were treated to an exclusive first look at Kuruk and his pet, Nikik.
The upcoming series is produced by Avatar Studios and Nickelodeon Animation Studios with co-creator Bryan Konietzko serving as showrunner.
The co-creators also revealed Avatar: Seven Havens was renewed for two additional seasons, or Books 3 and 4. Konietzko and DiMartino were joined on the panel by fellow Avatar: Seven Havens executive producer Ethan Spaulding and co-executive producer Sehaj Sethi, along with the voices of Pavi, Nisha and Jae: Saheli Khan, Aishu Devan and Major Curda. The panel gave fans exclusive insight into the making of the series, plus a special 'script to screen' clip.
Disney Greenlights ‘Artemis Fowl’ Animated Series With Author Eoin Colfer Producing
The company has greenlit a new series based on Eoin Colfer’s bestselling fantasy books for Disney Channel and Disney+, with the author attached to executive produce the project.
In fact, Colfer announced the project himself during a 25 Years of Artemis Fowl panel at New York Comic Con. The first novel in the series was published in 2001, and the franchise has since sold more than 35 million copies worldwide and been translated into 48 languages.
The books follow 13-year-old genius Artemis as he discovers an underground civilization of heavily armed, technologically advanced fairies. He plots to capture one and steal its magic to heal his dying mother and save his family.
Joining Colfer as executive producers on this latest adaptation are Ben Juwono (Marvel’s Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, Big Hero 6: The Series) and Colleen Evanson (DuckTales, Monsters at Work, Prep and Landing: The Snowball Protocol).
Lionel Messi’s Animated Disney+ Series ‘Messi And The Giants’ Unveils First Teaser
Messi and the Giants centers on Leo, a 12-year-old boy trapped in an alternate reality ruled by giants. His route home involves competing in soccer-like battles using powerful “orbs,” taking on legendary giants, and trying to reunite the fractured realms of Iko. Unlike his opponents, Leo can’t use the world’s code powers to boost his game, so he has to rely on skill, teamwork, and determination.
Messi is among the series’ executive producers, alongside Kurt Mueller, Bryan Korn, Lacey Stanton, and Guy Toubes for Sony Pictures Television; Afo Verde for Sony Music Latin Iberia; and Tom Mackay and Sergi Reitg for Sony Music Vision. Jorge Messi Pérez is credited posthumously as an executive producer.
Canary Islands-based Atlantis Animation is handling animation production.
Messi and the Giants will also air on Disney Channel in the U.S. beginning in summer 2027.
