The cast of the animated Avatar: The Last Airbender universe discussed how the show's resurgence on Netflix during the Covid-19 pandemic affected their understanding of the cartoon's legacy.Avatar: The Last Airbender is widely regarded as one of the greatest animated shows ever made; it's acclaimed for its accessible storytelling, handling of complex subject matter, worldbuilding, and charming, relatable, and well-developed characters.

Having first aired on Nickelodeon between 2005 and 2008, long before streaming became ubiquitous, an entire generation of kids grew up with Aang, Katara, Sokka, Toph, and Zuko, learning from their grief, pain, hope, and friendship. When the series was re-platformed by Netflix over 10 years later, it became a global sensation, especially during the lockdown days of the Covid-19 pandemic.

San Diego Comic-Con 2025 brought together the cast of Avatar: The Last Airbenderfor a special 20th-anniversary panel. Following the event, Cbr hosted a round table with the cast, including Zach Tyler Eisen, Jack DeSena, Michaela Jill Murphy, Jennie Kwan, Janet Varney and Dante Basco -- the respective voices of Aang, Sokka, Toph, Suko, Korra and Zuko.

While a variety of subjects were discussed, including the newly unveiled Avatar: Seven Havens, one of the more curious topics to come up was Basco's first meeting with his on-screen father, Mark Hamill. The first meeting between Prince Zuko and Fire Lord Ozai's voice actors wasn't the type of experience one might expect for the younger star.

The first image for the upcoming sequel series, Avatar: Seven Havens, which takes place after Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra, was unveiled by Nickelodeon during the panel discussion. The teaser photo shows the new Earthbender, Pavi, accompanied by her mentor, Jae, and a cute furry companion. The world around them almost looks dystopian, which makes fans wonder what has happened in the years following the events of The Legend Korrea.

But wait, there's more. Hold on to your cabbages, Avatar fans,...

At San Diego Comic-Con 2025, the voice of Avatar: The Last Airbender's Sokka, Jack DeSenna, reunited with his past co-stars for both a 20th-anniversary panel, along with a round-table discussion organized by Cbr. During the latter, DeSenna revealed some surprising information regarding what Sokka was originally like and the influence his performance had on him.

Sokka is one of the most popular Avatar characters of all time, but he nearly wasn't the character fans know and love. While speaking with Zach Tyler Eisen, Dante Basco, Michaela Jill Murphy, Jennie Kwan and Janet Varney -- the voices of Aang, Zuko, Toph, Suki and Korra, respectively -- DeSenna explained that he's responsible for making Sokka the fun goofball that he is.

After months of waiting, fans of Avatar: The Last Airbenderhave finally been given a glimpse at the official sequel to The Legend of Korra, titled Avatar: Seven Havens. However, as excited as the fans are to hear more details about the upcoming series, there's a special excitement shared among people with a much closer relationship with the franchise.

The original cast of The Last Airbender and Legend of Korra recently gave their blessing to Avatar: Seven Havens. At San Diego Comic-Con 2025, Cbr hosted a round table discussion featuring Zach Tyler Eisen, Dante Basco, Michaela Jill Murphy, Jack DeSena, Jennie Kwan and Janet Varney -- the voice actors behind Aang, Zuko, Toph, Sokka, Suki and Korra, respectively. While the group discussed a variety of subjects, inevitably, Seven Havens became a point of interest.

Cbr spoke with the cast of Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra about the upcoming sequel series, Avatar: Seven Havens, at San Diego Comic Con 2025. Avatar: Seven Havens is one of many new projects currently in development by Nickelodeon that take place in the anime-inspired world of Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Cbr interviewed the main cast of The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra at San Diego Comic Con at the San Diego Convention Center in California. At the 20th anniversary panel for Avatar: The Last Airbender, Nickelodeon revealed the brand-new animated TV series, Avatar: Seven Havens, which chronologically takes place after the events of The Legend of Korra.

Cbr recently sat down with Michaela Jill Murphy for a round-table interview at Sdcc alongside her fellow Atla costars to discuss the series.

Also in attendance at the Avatar panel were voice actors Zach Tyler Eisen (Aang), Jack DeSena (Sokka), Jennie Kwan (Suki), Dante Basco (Zuko), Janet Varney (Korra), and Avatar series creators Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dimartino. The group discussed their time with the series, and recalled fond memories they have of their time with the hit anime-inspired classic. During this discussion, Michella Jill Murphy went into how she first got the role of Toph as an 11-year-old actress just getting her start.

Nickelodeon marked two decades of Avatar: The Last Airbender with a celebration at San Diego Comic-Con, drawing nearly 5,000 fans to Ballroom 20 for a panel packed with surprises and sneak peeks into the future of the Avatar-verse, including Avatar: Seven Havens. The panel was moderated by Janet Varney (the voice of Korra).

A curtain-raising tribute video honoring 20 years of Avatar fandom was shown, spotlighting iconic moments from the series and tracing its journey from the Comic-Con pilot debut to the show’s rise as a cultural phenomenon.

Mae Whitman (voice of Katara) shared a heartfelt video expressing her deep gratitude for being part of Avatar: The Last Airbender‘s 20th anniversary, reflecting on growing up with the show and her excitement to one day share it with her own child.

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.

“Seven Havens” follows two Earthbending twins when one discovers she’s the Avatar, the latest person who can wield all four elements — air, water, earth and fire. The new series is set in “a world shattered by a devastating cataclysm. A young Earthbender discovers she’s the new Avatar after Korra – but in this dangerous era, that title marks her as humanity’s destroyer, not its savior. Hunted by both human and spirit enemies, she and her long-lost twin must uncover their mysterious origins and save the Seven Havens before civilization’s last strongholds collapse.”

Nickelodeon kicked off San Diego Comic-Con on Thursday with a celebration for 20 years of Avatar: The Last Airbender.

In addition to plenty of nostalgia surrounding the original series, the network also teased a first look at artwork from Avatar: Seven Havens, the upcoming 2D-animated series from Avatar Studios, which follows a young Earthbender who discovers she is the next Avatar.

Check out the image below.

Nickelodeon

Nearly 5,000 fans packed into the convention center’s Ballroom 20 for the panel moderated by Janet Varney, the voice of Korra, who was joined by much of the original voice cast including Zach Tyler Eisen (Aang), Jack De Sena (Sokka), Michaela Jill Murphy (Toph), Jennie Kwan (Suki), Dante Basco (Zuko), and Dee Bradley Baker (Appa). Series composer Jeremy Zuckerman and creators Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante Dimartino were also there.

Fans of Avatar Korra in The Legend of Korrawill love her all over again after hearing what fellow franchise voice actor Richard Epcar had to say about her in a recent guest appearance.

Avatar Aang was once the young male lead of Avatar: The Last Airbender, and The Legend of Korra needed a protagonist who would fill the same role as Aang in the Avatar world while otherwise feeling fresh and new. Aside from having a much more brash and confrontational personality, Korra also shows how men and women alike can be the world's greatest hero with the power of the Avatar Cycle. Epcar, who voiced Saikhan in the series, commented on Korra's role directly during his appearance on the most recent official Avatar podcast, "Braving the Elements," co-hosted by Korra voice actor Janet Varney and Zuko voice actor Dante Basco.

Avatar Korra Was a Bold Step Forward for the...

Despite being a series designed primarily for children, Avatar: The Last Airbender touches on a host of relatively dark and mature topics, one of which is awful parents. There are plenty of examples to be found across the Avatar franchise, with Fire Lord Ozai being an obvious pick, but also Toph's extremely overprotective parents and Asami's father, the industrialist Hiroshi Sato.

On the most recent episode of Braving the Elements, Janet Varney and Dante Basco, the official voices of Korra and Zuko, respectively, sat down with guest James Sie (the voice of the cabbage merchant) to talk about Book 1, Episode 8 of The Legend of Korra, "The Aftermath." While on the topic, Basco commented that Mr. Sato is "a real piece of work," prompting Verney to say that "Zuko and Asami could have a real good conversation about disappointing dads." While Mr. Sato is a somewhat minor but still...

There's great news for Avatar: The Last Airbender fans, with it recently being announced that Nickelodeon will celebrate the show's 20th anniversary with a special event at this year's Comic-Con.

NickALive! reports that the network will be celebrating the show's landmark anniversary at San Diego Comic-Con (Sdcc) later this month, with the convention center floor bringing the four elements -- Water, Earth, Fire and Air -- to life with immersive experiences, merchandise and photo ops.

Those looking to attend the special anniversary panel at Sdcc for Avatar: The Last Airbender can do so on Thursday, July 24, from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. in Ballroom 20. The panel will feature Zach Tyler Eisen (Aang), Jack DeSena (Sokka), Michaela Jill Murphy...

Relatively few shows leave indelible marks on entire generations, but it's easy to see that Avatar: The Last Airbender did exactly that. From the huge list of quotable lines like Zuko's "That's rough, buddy" to memes like Uncle Iroh's "It's time for you to look inward...,"Avatar has become deeply ingrained in the general pop culture library. However, the Cabbage Merchant in particular has won over many hearts, despite typically only ever repeating some variant of his singular memorable line: "My cabbages!"

In the most recent episode of Braving the Elements, the official podcast hosted by Janet Varney (the voice of Korra) and Dante Basco (the voice of Zuko), they welcomed guest star James Sie, who voiced the Cabbage Merchant in the original series. The podcast is generally structured around rewatching the Avatar series, with this most recent episode focused on Book 1, Episode 8 of The Legend of Korra, which...

It's been 11 years since the last episode of Avatar: The Legend of Korra aired on Nickelodeon, where the final scene featured Korra and Asami going to the Spirit World together as a couple. However, before she became the ally that many knew her for, it was recently revealed that she was initially planned to be Korra's enemy. It turns out that this Team Avatar staple wasn't supposed to stick around for that long, but things changed during the writing process.

Asami's voice actress, Seychelle Gabriel, made a guest appearance on the Braving the Elements podcast, hosted by Janet Varney (Korra) and Dante Basco (Zuko), where she shared what was pitched initially during her audition. Both Gabriel and Basco thought their characters in their shows were the bad guys, but eventually, things changed. The three voice actors shared their initial thoughts on who Asami was upon first impression, thinking that she...

Avatar: The Last Airbender wrapped up its original run in 2008, but fan debates about the series rage on -- particularly ships. It's not just viewers who are still arguing about which characters should have ended up together in the hit animated series, but the stars of the show, too.

Speaking on Braving the Elements, the official Avatar companion podcast, voice actors behind both The Legend of Korra and Avatar: The Last Airbender weighed in on who they root for romance for from their shared universe, and their takes might surprise some fans (and shippers). During a recent podcast episode featuring Legend of Korra's Seychelle Gabriel (Asami Sato), the conversation turned to one of the fandom's most controversial topics: "Zutara." The ship pairs the non-canon Prince Zuko with the waterbender Katara, inspiring countless pieces of fan art and passionate support for nearly two decades, despite Katara ending up with Aang, while...

The Legend of Korrastar Janet Varney opens up about one of the show's deepest -- and most vulnerable -- scenes, both for her character as well as in the recording booth.

During the latest episode of Braving the Elements, the official Avatar: The Last Airbender franchise rewatch podcast, Varney discussed a key moment from the sequel series in which Korra collapses in Tenzen's arms, crying. When asked by Zuko voice actor Dante Basco if she remembered recording the scene, Varney replied, "I do, because that was the first time, on this show, I cried. And I remember [voice director] Andrea [Romano] was so, like, kind."

Avatar: Legend of Korra Voice Actor Opens Up About 'Vulnerable' Scene With J. K. Simmons

"Luckily this was the last scene of the episode," Varney continued, "So I think she cleared everybody out, so it was just J. K. [Simmons] and me... And I just remember her being very kind.

Original Avatar: The Last Airbender creators Michael Dante Dimartino and Bryan Konietzko recently revealed that to give their show's animated follow-up, The Legend of Korra, a more cinematic feel, they did something they were "explicitly being told not to do" by the studio.

The duo rendered the series in HD widescreen despite being told not to -- a decision that accidentally put the network ahead of the entire industry. Dimartino and Konietzko shared the behind-the-scenes story during a recent episode of Braving the Elements -- the official retrospective podcast hosted by Janet Varney and Dante Basco, explaining how studio executive Mark Taylor greenlit the HD format upgrade against Nickelodeon's wishes.

Nickelodeon Originally Said No to Avatar's Legend of Korra in HD

"We weren't supposed to do that," Konietzko admitted during the podcast discussion. The creators first pushed for HD during Avatar's series finale but faced resistance. "Nickelodeon, with...

The continuation to Avatar: The Last Airbender, The Legend of Korra,is officially making its way to Webtoon alongside several other mainstream and fan-favorite tie-in series.

Per a press release, Webtoon Entertainment and Dark Horse Comics have announced a new partnership that will bring numerous works from the latter onto the fan-favorite digital platform provided by the former. Perhaps the most exciting of these is the exclusive addition of The Legend of Korra comics to Webtoon, which will be joined by series rooted in the worlds of The Witcher, Critical Role: The Mighty Nein Origins, Plants vs. Zombies and Cyberpunk 2077. Release dates for each of the series have yet to be announced. Avatar: The Last Airbender was first added to Webtoon in March 2024.

The Legend of Korra's addition to Webtoon will be a vertical scrolling format-exclusive.

The canon of Avatar: The Last Airbender makes a very potent cast for Zuko and Katara ending up together. While these characters ended up taking completely different paths in their lives, it is easy to spot that even subtextually, the narrative was always primed to serve a relationship between The Blue Spirit and the Painted Lady.

A slew of cast and crew members of Avatar: The Last Airbender believed that there was some merit in keeping Zuko and Katara together, and there have been some conflicting statements about the nature of how the relationship might have been in the cards, to be part of the official narrative. Whether it was or not is a different matter, because in terms of the flow of narrative, it makes complete sense that Zuko and Katara should have ended up together.

The world of Avatar: The Last Airbenderis rich and constantly expanding. After Aang's (Zach Tyler Eisen) story concluded, the beloved series got a sequel, The Legend of Korra, which explored the next incarnation of the Avatar, Korra (Janet Varney). And the universe is set to expand once again with the announcement of a new series focusing on the Earthbender following Korra. Though little is known about the upcoming series, Avatar: Seven Havens, it promises a very different world for the next Avatar. Set in a "world shattered by a devastating cataclysm" where the Avatar is not regarded as the hero it once was, the new series will be unique, much like The Legend of Korra's 1920s-inspired city set it apart from its predecessor.

Michael Dimartino, the co-creator of Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra, recently revealed new information about the production of the latter series, where some new details about both Nickelodeon shows came to light.

In a special podcast episode with The Illustration Department, Dimartino discussed the challenges of creating Avatar: The Last Airbender’s sequel series, The Legend of Korra. Dimartino stated about the sequel’s darker themes, "We could never have made Korra first, Nickelodeon would never. Even when we made the show, they were like, 'What do we do with this show?' Because it didn’t quite fit their kid audience."

The 2010s and 2020s saw a surge of American children's media that put queerness front and center. Take the work of N.D. Stevenson, such as the Netflix series "She-Ra and the Princesses of Power" and the animated film "Nimona," based on his graphic novel. From "Steven Universe" to "The Owl House," cartoons have gotten a lot gayer in the last decade.

And it is almost precisely a decade because Nickelodeon's "The Legend of Korra" is the show that broke down the dam in 2014. In the show's fourth and final season, Avatar Korra (Janet Varney) falls in love with her best friend, Asami Sato (Seychelle Gabriel).

When two Japanese anime characters form a duo, those characters either complete one another or challenge each other, and there is always a sense of co-dependency. In a trio, however, there are ongoing tensions, a strong sense of competition, and rivalry that can also become jealousy, making the whole group much more interesting. However, many of the most iconic trios, such as Jesse, James and Meowth and Winry, Alphonse and Edward, have an underlying current of true care.

There are many iconic trios in the anime world, some composed entirely of villains, others of heroes, and some a mix of the two. Some trios are strong and determined main characters; others feature shy and quiet protagonists; still others are made of remarkable side characters. All these trios have one thing in common: they make the story unique and truly memorable.

"The Legend of Korra" concluded its fourth and final season 10 years ago today. It's not as universally loved a series as its predecessor, "Avatar: The Last Airbender," which is often held as a crowning achievement of American children's animation and epic fantasy. With those big shoes, "The Legend of Korra" was never going to completely fill them, but it still has great episodes and many fans — I'm one of them.

The show's greatest legacy is and will probably continue to be how it pushed boundaries for LGBTQ+ representation. Previously, out queer characters were verboten in America children's media, but "Korra" went as far as it could in Book 4, when Korra (Janet Varney) falls in love with her friend Asami Sato (Seychelle Gabriel). The series ends with them holding hands and staring into each other's eyes; you get the feeling that...

The Legend of Korra, a spin-off to Avatar: The Last Airbender, started in the Southern Water Tribe, where the current Avatar, Korra (voiced by Janet Varney), lived in relative seclusion. Korra felt cooped up in her native home and had only a handful of friends, but things shifted when she visited the metropolis of Republic City. It didn't take long for Korra to build a network of friends, teammates, and other connections who helped define her Avatar career.

For every enemy she made, such as Amon or Tarrlok, Korra made a friend who vowed to support her in her fight to maintain balance in the world, some becoming members of Team Avatar. By the story's end, Korra had many varied relationships. These are the most heartfelt, healthiest, and important ones. Even when personalities and philosophies clashed, loyalty remained, which created scenarios both entertaining and moving, now living on in the comics.

While Avatar: The Last Airbender remains a timeless masterpiece of television, its spin-off, and sort-off-sequel, The Legend of Korra, didn’t quite match the acclaim of its predecessor. The show faced criticism for its storyline and thematic choices, which divided the fanbase.

Animated series like Avatar: The Last Airbender will always encourage fans to exercise their imagination and picture all-new fights or scenarios. What-if is always fun with series like Avatar, and that includes romance, too. There are a few canon romantic pairings, and some solid what-ifs such as Sokka and Princess Yue. Meanwhile, some fans like to think up truly bizarre pairings that the rest of the fandom rejects.

Every fan is free to imagine whatever romantic pairing they like, but their pet pairings/ships probably won't impress the other Avatar viewers, and such pairings can lead to strange or even uncomfortable fan art or fanfiction. Even when "what if?" is the rule, some romantic ships just don't add up, such as if the two characters have zero compatability or if their imagined romance is downright unhealthy or problematic in some way.

In the final episode of Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 2, Azula’s lightning strike takes down Aang, nearly killing him. Before Azula could finish her job, Iroh facilitated the Gaang’s escape, allowing Katara to treat his wounds using her Waterbending skills. However, the Fire Nation believed that the last Airbender was gone for good this time. In the first episode of Season 3, Azula gives credit to Zuko for taking down Aang when they met their father Fire Lord Ozai.

Avatar director Giancarlo Volpe revealed that it was Azula’s evil plan that motivated her to give Zuko the credit. Volpe shared that Azula was actually passing the blame as she knew about the possibility that Aang may reemerge after getting healed by Katara.

As impressive as Avatar: The Last Airbender already is, creator Michael Dimartino believes he left behind something that could have made it more interesting.

Avatar: The Last Airbender introduced a fictional world where benders can control one of the four classic elements: Fire, Water, Air, and Earth. The story centered around the titular character, Aang, who can master all elements due to him being the Avatar, to defeat Fire Lord Ozai and bring balance again.

While Ozai was the main villain all along, avid fans couldn’t forget his son, Zuko, who kept attempting to capture the Avatar throughout the series to reclaim his honor. Recently, showrunners revealed that his arc could have been completely different if the godfather of Zuko hadn’t chimed in with his suggestion.

It almost happened, until the the now-actor’s agents informed the creators that Johnson was not interested in television at that point.

Comparison with Aang highlights Korra's unique journey and displays her independence and raw power. Saving Kuvira without past Avatar guidance proves that Korra's greatest power came from within herself.

For years, fans of the Avatar: The Last Airbender universe have debated whether the lead protagonist of the show’s successor series, The Legend of Korra, was worthy of taking up the mantle of the Avatar. More importantly, could her power measure up to that of the Avatar before her? Discourse between fans of either show has persisted surrounding the age-old question: who was the more powerful Avatar?

It’s fair to say that Korra struggled to find her place and forge her path. And yet, there are several key factors that are often overlooked when coming to a conclusion about which of the...
