  "account": "The fourth installment in the Avatar animated series franchise is set to premiere, with co-creators Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko announcing Avatar: The Last Airbender's new show at New York Comic Con. Titled Avatar Kuruk: Wave of Chaos, this installment will focus on the waterbending hero from the Northern Water Tribe who came before Roku, Kyoshi, and Aang. The series will be a journey back in time, where audiences will get to explore a different side of Kuruk, whose previous appearances in other Avatar series and novels reveal less-known facets of his life. Most notably, the series will avoid Kuruk's fateful clash with spirit Koh, where the face-stealing spirit stole Kuruk's fiancée, Ummi. The artwork for Avatar Kuruk: Wave of Chaos showcase Kuruk waterbending, surfing, and even a cute koalaotter companion. The Avatar: Seven Havens panel also announced new projects, including Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game featuring Seven Havens colorways and a stage inspired by Sonam's temple from Aang's series, and a podcast Avatar: Braving the Elements with interviews from Seven Havens cast and creators. Now streaming on Paramount+, Avatar: Seven Havens can be enjoyed by fans of the franchise.",
