The Avatar universe has suddenly shifted gears, dislodged from the comforts of its paced storytelling, and is launching full-steam ahead into an era filled with expansive world-building and narratives that take its audience well into the future, leaving behind the time of Aang, the last Airbender, far behind. It now seems that after Aang and Korra, the universe is ready for its third entity in the cycle.

But even though the volume of quality projects that are now queued up outside the Avatar production house is stupefying, not everyone seems happy with the news that accompanies the announcement of the next earth Avatar.
Avatar Studios Set To Launch New Paramount+ Series in 2025
So far, the world has witnessed the stories of Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra, but new reports claim that an original series is coming to Paramount+ featuring the next earth Avatar in 2025 that will serve to carry forward the narrative after the events of ATLK. The next cycle will usher the audience into the future, approximately a century after the time of Korra.
The world that the fandom will step into during this new era will be reflective of our present-day technologically developed earth but not everybody is on board with the change, especially after Korra was featured to be way too tech-savvy in its final season. Some fans are now mourning the medieval-era charm of the series that made it such a treasured canon throughout the years.
A new animated ‘AVATAR’ series is reportedly coming in 2025.
The series will focus on the new earth Avatar after Aang & Korra.

If they keep doing time jumps at this point we're gonna end with a futuristic cyberpunk Avatar show.
And to be honest LETS DO THAT SHIT, IT WOULD BE EPIC

I mean. . .the final season of Korra featured the Avatar fighting a Gundam, so. . .

I really am baffled by the fact that it only took them half a century for them to go from asian medieval era times to “We can build fucking robots” era. Call me picky, but a part from Avatar’s charm was that the world was old and people were still figuring out stuff.

The technoclogy jump was already shit in Korra, please no

The original series set to launch in 2025 will also be subsequently followed by an animated film featuring this next earth Avatar as the protagonist. The series and film are to be placed in sequence, and the latter is set to come out sometime after the series gains steam. So far, there has been no working title or release dates announced, although, sources claim that the series could come out in late 2025.
