Avatar: The Last Airbender might have experienced some disappointment last month when the long anticipated live action adaptation hit screens to awful critical response. Now they have something to be happy about. It has been rumored since May, but the long awaited sequel to the Avatar: The Last Airbender series, The Legend of Korra will be premiering on Nickelodeon in 2011.
The Legend of Korra will focus on the Avatar after Aang, a Southern Water Tribe girl named Korra. Having already mastered three elements, she goes looking for her final master to teach her airbending. Her airbending master will be none other than Aang’s son Tenzin. Korra must travel to the Republic City, a steampunk inspired metropolis where anti-bending sentiment is rising, and crime is plentiful.
Korra is described as a hot-headed, independent, energetic Avatar who is “ready to take on the world.”
“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,” said Nickelodeon Network President Brown Johnson. “This new avatar is not only a girl, but also hot-headed, independent and ready to take on the world.”
Having just recently completed all three seasons (or books) of the Avatar: The Last Airebender series, I am absolutely stoked. Once the series was finished I was left wanting more, and I’m glad that the series creators have decided to write more stories concerning the Avatar. I’m going to miss the regular characters, but this new take looks great.

I have to say that while I am excited I'm also apprehensive. I just liked the last air bender so much. I totally trust their creativity though, they did good work, those guys.
Omg! Yes! Im so excited! I have chills running down my spine. Im glad they are continuing the series with new characters. And once again, i was not disappointed in The Last Airbender at all. Bring on 2011!!!
I cant wait to see the new series, i know it is going to be great!!!!! i hope the same voices are there n all the characters 2 cant wait, kataang $ ever and always!!!!!xoxo!!=)
Fans of the orignal series, who are looking for something like the original, are going to be disapointed, I feel. This creative team is going to take their creative freedom, and make something different. It may still be great, but it is going to be different.
Hmmmm.... it is only set 70 some years in the future, and Korra looks like she is already a late teen..... So, what happened to Aang and "Team Avatar"? The answer to that - and the reaction of the fan base - is going to be very interesting.
i am pumped for the new series i bet it will be awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i want to know the exact day it comes out though :(
New series sounds great. But I was hoping they would do a story arc where Zuko goes to find his mom. I know what happened but where is she?
Still new series is going to be awesome and just for the record the movie was awesome. To many fans wanted what was in the show. They can't do that with the first movie or the others. 20 episodes can not be covered in a hour and a half. Somethings gotta go.
Well that's my rant for today.
