The above statement is the working title for the new greenlit animated television series for Nickelodeon. The new animated series is a new take and sequel to the much loved Avatar: The Last Airbender. Below is the official synopsis.

• The Legend of Korra takes place 70 years after the events of Avatar: The Last Airbender and follows the adventures of the Avatar after Aang – a passionate, rebellious, and fearless teenaged girl from the Southern Water Tribe named Korra.  With three of the four elements under her belt (Earth, Water, and Fire), Korra seeks to master the final element, Air.  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.

I’m not going to lie, I am so excited for this series. I am a huge Avatar: The Last Airbender fan. To hear that they are expanding the mythology and taking on a fresh new perspective is brilliant.
