Will You Get a Paramount+ Subscription to Watch Avatar: Seven Havens?

Paramount+ launched Avatar: Seven Havens exclusively on their platform last week. Following this, the streaming service announced that seasons 3 and 4 of the series, along with an additional Avatar project, are already in the pipeline. As a fan of Avatar: The Last Air Bender and The Legend of Korra, I find myself torn between wanting to watch Seven Havens and avoiding an additional monthly fee for Paramount+.

While I could dismiss the new show as a cash grab, the overwhelmingly positive reviews of the premiere make it difficult to ignore. Combined with my lack of exposure to the Avatar Aang movie, it seems inevitable that I'll need to invest in a temporary subscription to experience these two Avatar experiences. The good news is that the series' release schedule is relatively compressed, with 13 episodes in season 1 and the final four episodes set to be added on October 30.

Signing up for a one-month Paramount+ subscription now should allow me to finish the series before canceling. Although Paramount+ previously offered a free trial, they discontinued this feature earlier this year when they began adding UFC fights to the platform. However, there is a temporary trial available through Walmart+, which includes access to a basic Paramount+ subscription for $1.

With the recent acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery by Paramount+, it's likely that we'll see more instances where a Paramount+ subscription is necessary to watch popular shows. For now, I'm sticking with my existing HBO Max, Hulu, and Disney+ subscriptions, but the future remains uncertain. For now, I'm relieved that I only have to shell out an additional $8.99 to watch the new Avatar series.
