James Cameron Plans Animated Avatar Anthology Series

James Cameron has revealed plans to expand the Avatar universe with an animated anthology series, which he has pitched to Disney but is still in the early planning stages with no production yet underway. The series would explore untold stories and character backstories from Pandora, including events like the first human expedition to the moon, and is inspired by The Animatrix in its approach to world-building. Cameron is seeking boutique filmmakers and animators to develop these stories. Meanwhile, the franchise continues in theaters, with Avatar: Fire and Ash scheduled for release on December 19 as the third film in a planned five-movie saga. The franchise's original film remains the highest-grossing movie of all time. The animated expansion aims to deepen the Avatar narrative alongside its continued presence in other media.
