Nickelodeon Announces New Season of Avatar: The Legend of Korra

This brought tears to my eyes. Thank you Nickelodeon. Hopefully, everyone can sit down and enjoy this and forget the movie ever happened.

Are the original writing team involved? Please?

Actually Aang could very well be the Last Airbender at the present time.However, in the last episode Aang removes Ozai’s ability to bend fire, the implication is that he could make someone a bender using the same method. A good group to do that to would be the people who took refuge in the Northern Air Temple.

I wish they would continue the last airbender…

y not just expand on aang b better

Jeez, that basically means that Aang died in his 40s. That’s kind of upsetting.

@solaana: Well he did spend 100 years of his avatar life frozen so most of his years were gone anyway.

@lawlilove: Good point. (But still! Poor Katara!)

hmmmm….not certain how I feel about this….the storyline sounds amazing, though when I first heard there was going to be more “Avatar”, I was thinking more along the lines of expanding upon the series and although it sounds like that is what Avatar: The Legend of Korra is doing in some ways, I’m still not certain if it will be up to my expectations. Plus my favorite character and whole reason of existence was Zuko, so as I’m figuring this show will not be having Zuko as a major, or even minor, or even existing, character on the show, I’m not sure if I can watch it with the same adoration and admiration that I felt when watching Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Once I heard that they were making a new avatar series I got excited and looked it up. I found out that it is supposed to be set 70 years in the future and that katara and aangs son, an airbender is in his 50s and is teaching the young new avatar airbending. I also read that the series is going to use many flashbacks to the original seasons. It did not say whether the main characters from the original series were alive or not, but it said there was a high chance of it because of the long lifelines the characters ancestors had. Zuko especially because his grandfather llived to be 98 and his great grandfather live to be 102. When the show begins zuko will only be 86 so there is a high chance he will still be alive. One disapointment is that aang will be dead obviously because korra would not exist if Aang was still alive. I am looking forward to the debute of the mini series.

Oh my god when I read this i got so excited I nearly chewed my fingernail off (I chew my fingernail when I’m excited) When is this going to start? Does anyone know?

OMG THIS IS AWEOSME does any one know this comes out??

oh my god this sucks
why cant they just continue with aangs story
im so upset ):

i always thought that they would continue the story with the original cast, this is mainly because they start to bring up things about zuko’s mum and when they decided not to kill fire lord ozai i thought they were just leaving themselves with room to create a 4th season were they would search for zuko’s mum.

I am excited about this series. The movie was such a let down and I hear that the creaters of the cartoon series were not involved with the movie much at all. So lets get back to the Avatar animated series and enjoy it all over again. I thought the cycle of the Avatar was Air, Water, Earth, and Fire. With Korra being a Water Bender shouldn’t she be mastering Earth Bending first then Fire and then Air. Why is she mastering Airbending first?

OMFG I hope its true id love to watch the new Avatar but to be host it woint be the same becuase none of the chearacters are in book 4 well anyway I hope its good becuase I hated the movie

this is a reply to @STLBoogey i know for a fact that korra is in her mid teens and has already mastered water(obviously), earth, and fire. she is looking for an airbending teacher who ends up being tenzin, aangs son as u probably know

OMG IM SUUUPER XITED i hope they get into the unanswered questions like iroh in the spirit world, where zukos mom is, and the disapperance of the air nomads

This is a dissapointment and an exitment. I extremely wish they would continue aangs story but Im exited cause at leats they are making a new season. Its better then none at all but continuing aangs story would be way more enjoyable. Its suppose to come out late fall of 2011 but no dates are for sure yet

COOOOOOOLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think we will see SOME of the older characters, take King Bumi for example he was 112 durring the original series. Why not the others since they wernt over 16 for the gang. I cant wait!!!! ^.~

A lot of you want to just continue Avatar: the Last Airbender, but there’s really not much to continue. Like when books have a happy ending, the author isn’t going to go on into the lives of the people who already solved their problems. People want action, and you can always imagine what happens after everything works out. Not much to imagine, though.
We can only move on to the next peril, the next legend..

She’s not mastering airbending first, she already mastered water, earth and fire. <– She mastered those in the correct order, yes, but now her final element is air, which she's going to learn from Aang's son, Tenzin.

no no no no no, it will not be as good as the orignal avatar, there is no characters from the orginal that will be in this one, not one, because for a new avatar to be born the old one has to die, so no Aang, no Katarra, no Sokka, no Momo, no anybody, it wouldn’t be the same without all of them, even Zuko, whom I really like as a charcter. I want it to be good but i don’t think it will.

bcuz aang cant live while korra is alive its true that aang is dead…but isnt there still a possibility that the other characters are still alive? just because aang dies doesnt mean all the characters r gone…but i do believe that they will come up maybe for like a special episode or sumthing

Someone needs to write more stories of Avatar Aang, Katara, Prince Zukko, etc. I love watching all the chapters. Hopefully its never ending like Dragon Balls. There is nothing wrong in continuing the original cast.

I am excited about the new series but i think they should continue the orginal. There are many things that they could do. They could have like an episode where “cunbustion man ” returns, one where toph gets a boyfriend, one where zuko finds his mother, etc. There are so many possiblities. I hope that mabye after they finish avatar: lengend of korra that they continue avatar the last airbender. and i hope that in the new series everyone is still in the seires just as old people lol. and im not too happy about aang being dead. its kinda like really sad.

If you havent already found out i heard it was supposed to be finished sometime in November 2011…

You could never get enough of Aang, Katara, & Prince Zukko, etc… I would’ve love to see more of the original cast.

I agree

of course, Aang will be there. It’s inevitable that Korra will be communicating to the past Avatars like Aang.

how about sokka.

AVATAR THE LAST AIRBENDER FOR EVER::::::::::::MORE EPISODES PLZ

yeah its supposed to start in November this year but they may push it to 2012

ur right its supposedly st for November this year 2011 but they want to push it to some time in 2012 :(

THERE WILL BE FLASHBACKS AND ZUKO MIGHT BE ALIVE HELL BE LIKE 80S AND I THINK MAYBE KATARA SOCCKA TAF HAVE A CHANCE OF BEING ALIVE SINCE THE KID WHO TEACHED AIR BENDING IS KATARAS SON AND HES LIKE 50 AND KATARA WAS IN HER 20S WHEN SHE HAD HIM WITH AANG SO KATARAS LIKE 70 SOMETHING AND AANG’S IF HES ALIVE WILL LOOK LIKE HES IN HIS 70 AS WELL WE WONT KNOW FOR SURE THOUGH FOR A FEW MONTHS SADLY :(

hi i’m pandora1225
i heard that aang was going to be there. dont get to excited because he is going to be dead.
if you saw the shows, roku was the past avatar, and he helped aang through the spirit world. so aang should help korra too because he was the past avatar now. but he wont come out as often as he did in his show, sorry, i’m sad too:(

He was over 100 years old when he was released in the first episode……..

I just don’t want them to put motorcycles in th new series

OMG WHEN I READ THIS I WAS EXTERMLY EXCITED…. BUT I HAVE TO AGREE WITH YOU GUYS I WILL LIKE FOR THE CREATER OF AVATAR TO COUNTINE IT WITH AANG THERE ARE MANY UNFINISH BUSNIESS THAT NEED TO BE TAKING CARE OF FOR EXAMPLE THE ONE THING I WILL LIKE TO SEE IS WHEN ZUKO AND HIS MOTHER WILL FINALLY GET REUNITED HE DESERVE THAT AT LEST AND I WILL LIKE TO SEE MORE OF AZULA ZUKO SISTER AS WELL WITH HER YOU KNOW BEING ALL CRAZY NOW OF COURSE. AND OF COURSE TOPH GOING BACK HOME AND STANDING HER GROUND WITH HER PARENTS THATS A GOOD WHEN AND THEY CAN EVEN DO A BIG BATTLE WITH ALL THE ORIGINAL CAST STANDING SIDE BY SIDE ESPEACIAL NOW THAT PRINCE ZUKO IS KING OF THE FIRE NATION. AND LEST NOT FORGET ZUKO UNCLE DUDE I LOVE THEM MAN AND HIS WISDOM. BUT OVER ALL I HAVE TO SAY IM HAPPY THAT A NEW SEASON IS COMING OUT I JUST HOPE AND PRAY I WILL NEVER BE AS BAD AS THE MOVIE. TO BE HONEST I CRIED WHEN I SEEN THE MOVIE I MEAN COME ON THERE WAS NO WAY IN HELL YOU COULD HAVE MESSED UP THAT MOVIE BUT OF COUSRE IM SAD TO SAY I WAS PROVEN WRONGE :(

He wasn’t 40.. he was about 12 or so in the show. So… 70 years later… that means.. he died when he was about…82!!!

But, u have to remember he was frozen.. even thought his apperance didn’t change. So, he was technically not 100

i hate legend of korra it is stupid and the athuors are stupid do you know how many people want there to be a book4 dont be athuors MAKE A BOOK4

i realy want that they make book 4 but it’s not going to happen , becouse Zukos uncle Iroh original voice died , so i realy should you to get ready for the next legend , prepare of the new story…
but remember : its many years pass when the first episode was begin , so with that legend there will be more cool effects.
bye all of you Avatar fans , love ya!

technically he would die at like 64 dude i mean get it right!!!!!!!!!!

im soo upsett that this is am ini seriess it really makes me upset..i was seirously hoping for something else…well i like the idea about korra..but 26 episodes? really? i mean if theres a new avatar coming out why has she alerady mastered 3 elements…they can do a lot more with the air nation to..and have like a new colony of them…like have them hiding somewhere thats not on the map..and that could be where some airbenders were..it shouldnt just be her trying to master air and avoiding other people….AND THEY SHOULD HAVE A SEASON FOR I COMPLETELY AGREE….this is so lame..if they are gonna make a new series..why cant it be longg….and these 26 episodes better be like an hour long or something because im not putting up with 30 mins..26 episodes is not evne like a whole season are u kididng me..all she has to do is master air…this is so upsetting..i love the idea..but it shouldnt be a mini series

i want a book 4 5 6 or 7 but i dont want korra because they change th athuors and i dont carre abaut the voice

it would be awsome if they made a video game like this, fight crime in a town and choose whatever nation you want to be from.

i the legend of korra in may 31

Why are you all whining about a new series?! we had 3 season of the last airbender, and there’ no more to continue, it’s finished, do you really want the same old thing you saw?
Think about it, in video games, would you want the sequal to be the exact same thing??
It’s stupid to make an entire season about what happened after the ending, there will be no action, no stuff new, just watching them talk.. truth is, they can make Zuku finding his mother in about 1-2 episodes, maybe bonus episodes.
also, another complaint I saw is that you won’t see an entire season of Korra learning just Air,
but, who said it will continue the same formula of the last airbender? maybe learning elements here is just a side-story, and by the time the new season ended, you’ll forget all about the LEARNING of elements. (I’m not saying this is a good thing, but they surely will make up for it with good stuff and story line, and by making only 1 element left to learn it’s bound to happened.)
Truth is, Legend Of Korra will be full of new twists, story, WORLD, and so much more, I know that it’s sad that Aang died and you’ll probably won’t see Sokka and Katara and Zuku and pretty much the good ol’ gang so much, but, it’s not like you loved them and knew them since the first episode of the last airbender, and you’ll learn to love all the new characters of the Legend Of Korra too.
I’m really excited about this, I thought that every scene of the last airbender was a masterpiece (really incredible drawing), and judging by that picture in the article, it’s going to be an amazing series.

TL;DR – Don’t be so afraid of change, and keep in mind, in the same saga franchise, it will be awesome. 

I really wanted them to make a new season of the original series, but honestly uniqueboone there is not much to elaborate on now, i mean they DO need a end, they already finished what the series was about what more do you people want?
to learn about Zukos mom? Ok that can easily be resolved by some flashbacks in the new series!! They can still answer some questions y’know!! (and you cant say its stupid and it hasnt even came out yet! Therefore, you’re stupid)

And yes i will miss the old characters! I liked them all! But its time to move on… I am extremely excited for this new season and not dissapointed at all, after the horrible movie i didnt think i’d ever hear about avatar again anyway, so to hear about this is a pleasant surprised and you should all be grateful!!

But! Most cartoons start out as a mini series until the creators realize it would be better as a real series! And you know they already extended the episodes right? And its also being pushed to 2012 so that can be a indication to you that they have more to offer then there saying! 

in order for Korra to be the next Avatar Aang kinda needs to be dead by definition

I wish they would just expand Aangs story…
I’m going to miss zuko they better have a badass character with a dark past like zuko

Personally they shouldnt go 70 years into the future. They should only go a few years ahead. Only like 5 or 6 years ahead so we can see all the caracters in there prime and still get to have a few more good missions with aang before he dies, and get to see aang and katara getting married and sakka and sukie getting married or see how there love lives play out and see what happened to zukos mom and get to see how everything plays out. After a few years of peace something would be bound to happen because everything cant be perfect for ever. and something bad can happen and they can build from that. Or something instead of going 70 years into the future.

i reckon they should go back in time and do it about a fire bender as the main character, and at the end of the seson he should be the one who killed all the air benders since an avatar wud be powerfull enough. that wud be so mean

im very exited for this mainly because i really liked the adventures that aang went through but i am also looking forward to seeing more anng but this time in spirit form

tht is stupid y dose she already have to no all the elements exept air this is going to be stupid

i agree so much with u

well. korra looks like shes in her early-20′s… maybe mid-20′s… so he would have died in his early-60′s… still kinda young… but not as bad…

well, the show doesnt actually start at korra’s birth. so early 60′s is probably more correct. cuz… 70 years minus korras age and then add that to 12…. that wood be aangs dying age.

yeah but he didnt even remember being frozen and came out of the ice burg as young as he went in.  12….

yeah it kinda sucks…. but honestly… whats to continue?

not exactly…    70 years later….  so 70 minus 16 (korra’s age) is 54…. and add that to 12 (aangs age) so….. 66…. still younger than i would have expected… but still not too bad.

how did he even die! thats the upsetting part!

Did you even watch the series? An avatar didn’t kill all of the air benders it was the fire nation.

spoiler… 
Aang and the gang found zuko’s mother in one episode not knowing who she was. she is somewhere in the earth kingdom.

thats a great idea but his son probubly traind with him

I don’t like the idea I want to see the birth of korra I wanna all there children.espically Sokka & suki everyone

i thought that the avatar has also a longer life span than the other benders

 i know right they shouldve just expanded of aang’s version -.-

i know what’s to continue…. thhey shouldve made more after they defeated ozai and made more episodes about zuko’s mom and how aang and katara got married…. and how they moved on and became older and when they had a son… (sounds creepy but oh well.. :) )

ok I read re-read and i still dont get it 
can someone please explaain what the series is ganna be about

ok I read re-read and i still dont get it 
can someone please explaain what the series is ganna be about

thank you, you just matched my exact opinion.  Plus Zuko is the man, they should have the aftermath 

how do you know ?

I’m sooooooooooooo excited!!! I grew up with Avatar: The Last Air Bender on nickelodeon and now in my adulthood it’ll be SUPER awesome to see the storyline continue! In fact, I literally just finished re watching all of seasons 1-3. So I hope that this is released sometime within the next year. :D SQUEE!

“Her quest leads her to the epicenter of the modern “Avatar” world,
Republic City – a metropolis that is fueled by steampunk technology. It
is a virtual melting pot where benders and non-benders from all nations
live and thrive. However, Korra discovers that Republic City is
plagued by crime as well as a growing anti-bending revolution that
threatens to rip it apart. Under the tutelage of Aang’s son, Tenzin,
Korra begins her airbending training while dealing with the dangers at
large.”

Came out of the little green portion in all of the text!

Im sooo happy theres gonna be a new avatar!!!!  c :

 I mean, I would rather have a new avatar then no avatar story at all… I read that previous comments complaining about how they wished the writers continued the the original story. I do to, and maybe if the fan base is still good they may do some short series on that. But like many great stories, they must come to an end….

At least for a while. <3

im not gonna watch it i just cant tthink of the last airbender being over

Here’s why that shouldn’t happen: While it would be nice, ask yourself “What would be the main plot line? Who would Aang have to protect the world from?”

No, cuz the new avatar is born once the previous one dies-remember the episode where Avatar Roku explains how he died (the one where Zuko is looking at memoirs from Sozan) and then once he dies Aang is born. So Aang died at 82.
Sorry, I just nerded all over. Thank god it wasn’t too messy.

its really wrong even i want to slap the people who just change it like that

Havent all you guys thought of epilogues?!?!?!?! Its perfect because it doesnt continue too much into a new season but it should just wrap up all the cliff hangers. I mean yeah im mad too that they ended avatar the last airbender and im not so sure if im going to like last airbender the legend of korra but i still dont understand why the authours just didnt make a simple epilogue……Even i wouldnt like a book 4 of the avatar series there would be no action and no plot no nothing….just boring episodes about how they finally saved the world

I don’t think you can give energy — When he was about to lose to Ozai, I don’t think he would’ve gained firebending if he didn’t already have it… still, there may be some other way.  Also, remember that Aang’s son will be teaching Korra, so he is most likely an airbender.

imma miss appa and momo the most

So what happened to zukos mother???????

What happen zukos mother …. Then his sister……… Then his father not like,they died but didnt find out abt his mom

Zuko’s mom???

wat happens wen the avatar cycle gets bak to air. ther are no airbenders!!!!!!

Thats true there would be no conflict. Although…i do want to know where Zuko’s mom is, and where did Uncle Iroh go when he busted out of prison?

watch it like it’s a new show and not with expectations of the last one

Well, but There is still a place for fantasy… Imagine if Korra met the old Zuko and he told her a story about his mother and Iroh… these secrets can be still revealed… Although Im sad that Aang wont be there anymore:( I was kinda shocked when I first read about the storyline of the new season… All of them died:(

No it wouldnt be interesting… Just look – every adventure movie has a continuation like this – the enemy is coming back, you have to have more power to defeat him etc. But Legend of Korra is so unusual, so Im sure it will be great. :)

he was 13 when the series ended. korra’s story is set 75 years later and korra is 17. add up the math and that would mean he was 71 when he died.

has it come out or is it comming out soon

I am so excited… although I agree with the comments below, I will miss the old characters… and although I do sill have a few questions like what happend to Sukos mom and azula and what happenes with kitara and angs relationshop (considering I was waiting a whole series for that last scene!)… but they are right, a conflict would be difficult to establish. Hopefully they will touch on some of those stories in the new season…

I just hope they include something about Zuko…..he was my favorite charector. I was hoping Zuko ang Gutara would get together :)

Aang and Kotara’s Son both train Korra, so he still alive I think.

it doesnt matter what they say im fucking pissed u wanna know y? at the ending of the final episode zuko speaks to his father and asks him wheres his mother, they could’ve taken off from that point. i like the idea of steampunk but i mean really? it doesnt fit the avatar theme. a mini series about the young to old masters of elements (white lotus people) would’ve been great i mean who wouldnt wanna hear about the crazy old king boomeys story or the joyful tea loving irouh. or hell they couldve told the story of previous avatars. the point is i love avatar and i will miss the old characters but if they wanna do something like this its stupid things like this is better left to fullmetal alchemist.

King Boomey: wait your missing someone in the group… someone IMPORTANT…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………   WHERE’S MOMO?!?!

funny when i actually first saw this i thought they were talking about aangs previous water bender avatar life

They were leaving it open for a new series, but Nick headquarters said no, because it would be a dead plot, but there were so many fans of Avatar: The Last Air Bender that wanted a 4th season, that they have desided to create a new season, with a brand new story line

I am very upset that the original characters had to die.  I wish they were still alive so we could see more of our favorite characters. ‘sob’

what about Sokka and Suki are they going to get married

I want the continuation of the last Book… Not this dummy new one…. yakkkk!

Yes, but the series starts *70 years after Aang is 12* and at the start of the series Korra is *17*. Meaning Aang died at 65 or she wouldn’t have been born.

Has the legend of Korean come out
Now.

im a bit resenful towards korra.. sorry.. what, she gona walk in here and argh… why couldnt they just finish the last air bender book 4 instead this crap?

they actually tell you that aang’s son is an air bender so what you’re talking about is useless but interesting information

ITS BEEN SO LONG!!! are they still going to do it?

To be honest, I’m mad they’re not making a 4th season. I want to know what happened to Zuko’s mom. I want to know how they rebuilt the world after the invasion. How Aang and Katara got together, and all that good stuff. This new series will probably explain all that, but I wanted it in full detail not just a flashback or a story here and there. 

does anyone no where i can watch this 

i just want to know how many books there are in korra. the episodes have been great.
 

NUUUUUUUUUUUUUU! AANGS DEAD!
