Franchise co-creators Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko revealed the new Paramount+ animated show during a special panel on October 9. The upcoming spinoff series is titled Avatar Kuruk: Wave of Chaos.
According to the official announcement, Wave of Chaos follows Kuruk, a rebellious teenage Avatar. His journey takes him across the world as he attempts to master all four elements (Water, Earth, Fire, and Air) on his own terms. Instead of following thousands of years of Avatar tradition, the defiant youngster learns through real-world adventures.
Along the way, Kuruk must stay ahead of his angry teacher, rowdy pirates, and chaotic spirits. Despite the trouble he encounters, he continues helping people in his own way while learning to control the four elements. His unconventional approach sets him apart from the traditional expectations placed on the Avatar. Kuruk’s pet, Nikik, also aids him during his expedition.
The creators confirmed that World of Chaos is the next installment in the franchise. Bryan Konietzko described the series as “not tragic and violent and dark,” but as their first action comedy.
The series does not have a premiere date yet.
