Avatar: Legend of Korra (working title) is an upcoming television series set in the Avatar universe. The title was trademarked by Nickelodeon in May 2010 and leaked by the media shortly afterward; more information was revealed in late June 2010, just prior to the release of the feature film The Last Airbender.[1][2]
Nickelodeon is currently staffing up for production,[3][4] adding that Avatar: The Last Airbender co-creators Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko are involved and that more information will be forthcoming at a later date, possibly Comic-Con 2010.[5] On July 21, the Associated Press confirmed the series for a 2011 release.

edit Storyline
Avatar: Legend of Korra takes place 70 years after Avatar: The Last Airbender.[6] Korra is the next Avatar after Aang, "a passionate, rebellious, and fearless teenaged girl" who is hotheaded, independent and "ready to take on the world".[7][8] Korra comes from the Southern Water Tribe, and Aang and Katara's son Tenzin is her Airbending teacher. [9]
One of the story's settings is Republic City, a "metropolis powered by steampunk-type technology," "inhabited by people from all nations." Here Korra must deal with rampant crime and an anti-? revolt.[10]
[edit] Rumors
Note: PLEASE note that the below "confirmations" delivered to you by many Avatar fansites are NOT confirmed as of yet. DO NOT take most of the information here as a fact. Also, DO NOT edit things interpreted as "fact" into this article. Furthermore, do not add in "question is" and speculation debates.
These storyline elements remain unconfirmed.
* Aang is featured in the series in the Spirit World, as Roku and past Avatars were to Aang in the Last Airbender.
* This tweet shows that there will be a character named Meelo in the series. [1] The tweet also says there will be a character named Wei Bei. [11]
* There is also a rumor that there will be flashbacks of the original series. This may be part of what was implied when DiMartino mentioned that there was a "definite link" between the old series and this one.
* In Avatar: The Last Airbender, Aunt Wu said Katara would have her third great granchild before passing away in her sleep. Since Tenzin is her son, and probably a lot older than Korra, it is possible he married and had other kids, which might mean other airbenders.
edit Development
Although the creators of the show had planned an ending to the show, the success of Avatar: The Last Airbender caused Nickelodeon to ask for more episodes. [12] The creators then came out with this new idea of the next Avatar, this time a girl named Korra. They decided upon a female Avatar after the large audience of females of the original show and the adoration of headstrong Katara by the female fanbase, and felt it was time to have a big action franchise with a female in the lead instead of the traditional male role. [12]
The show will be darker and more mature than the original show, though the creators are not trying to target a new audience (saying the original was filled with adult themes), with more mature themes, but will also try to balance it out with a similar sense of fun and adventure of the original series.[
