More “Airbender” Coming from Nickelodeon
Nickelodeon has greenlit a new series from Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko that is a continuation of their animated hit show “Avatar: The Last Airbender.” Tentatively titled “The Legend of Korra,” the animated series will premiere in 2011 and focus on the next Avatar, a young female called Korra. “Korra” is set 70 years after the events of “Airbender” and sees Korra moving to Republic City to master her final element – air. With the guidance of the previous avatar Aang’s son Tenzin, she has to fight crime and face a growing anti-bending movement that threatens to rip the metropolis apart.
