Following the success of the original series, has just greenlighted a new animated series, The . According to the network’s president, Brown Johnson, the series will expand the mythology of the universe — with it being set seventy years after the events of the original The Last Airbender series.

“Michael [DiMartino] and Bryan [Konietzko, series creators,] have imagined a compelling new story inspired by the Airbender mythology that they so brilliantly crafted when the TV series began,” Johnson said. “This new avatar is not only a girl, but also hot-headed, independent and ready to take on the world.”

The series follows the adventures of Korra, a “passionate, rebellious and fearless” teenager from the Southern Water Tribe, who seeks a master for the final element of Air — seeing that she’s already mastered three of the four elements.

Her travels eventually lead her to the metropolis of Republic City, an epicenter for the modern Avatar world. Although a thriving society of benders and non-benders alike, Republic City is also ridden with crime, including an anti-bending rebellion that is gaining momentum. Under the guidance of Aang’s son, Tenzin, Korra begins her airbending training as she confronts the dangers ahead of her.

The Legend of Korra will be produced at Nickelodeon Animation Studios and is expected to begin airing sometime in 2011.

    I think katara should be the one who showed korra how to water bend but i still think its wierd if they did because tecnicaly korra is anng and katara and anng hade a child together kinda ackward. O yea and they NEED to make a old man sokka!!! He would be all like get off ma lawn and old man zuko would be in a rocking chair beside him occasionally shooting fire balls at peoples feet. And in the very last rocking chair would be king boomy who would be adleast 182 years old who would still be doing his laugh. Lmao XD

      I saw your comment while looking up stuff about the show, and it cut it off in google search after “because”, and I came all this way to yell at you, but when I saw the rest of the comment I realized you are dead right. Congrats, you just made my day!

  • Kyle_b240

    can people stop talking about Aangs age when he died because it says it like 50 times here

  • Angelica

      Maybe they’ll have like a flashback episode or maybe a few lines thrown in that tie this loose end up.

    isnt it cool how every element had kinda an offhand element, so to speak =P toph has metal bending, katara has blood bending and that chick (cant remember her name lolol) can shoot lightning!! is there anything that air benders have??

    She sounds like a girl version of zuko. Theres so much that this has to own up to (the last air bender being like the best series ever) but i wish they would have continued aangs story. Theres noone like him. Im sure they could have come up with something. But this does look promising

  • Colinv24

    just a rumor, but remember when toph asked aang and everyone “do really think freindship can transend lifetimes?” and then they all started holding hands. theres a legit rumor that toph teaches korra earth bending.

  • LINARD94

    I JUST LOVE AVATAR AND NO ONE CAN STOP ME ^^] :D :D :D  

  • kofi

    the new series is going to be nice but they shouldn’t have just let aang to die like that.They should have done it that fire lord will escape by the help of some guards and aang will have to go after him

  • Bgentry

    i like the 1st tv show

  • NomadicSorcerer

    Okey dokey, they’ve released a trailer and a clip from the 1st episode, which looks awesome. Korra’s animal guide is a Polar bear dog named Naga. She’s friends with two brothers who are an Earthbender and Firebender respectively named Mako and Bolin. Aang’s son Tenzin seems like a pretty serious guy and he had three kids all of whom are airbenders. Korra surprisingly also has some aspects of Aang herself: Impatient, seemingly optimistic, and happy-go-lucky a little.  This series is going to be great, oh and KATARA IS ALIVE!! She looks a lot like Gran Gran.
