LOS ANGELES - A sequel to Nickelodeon's "Avatar: The Last Airbender" is in the works.

The channel said Wednesday the new animated TV series will premiere in 2011. It has the working title, "The Legend of Korra."

Nickelodeon says the series will build on the "mythology" of the original "The Last Airbender" series, which inspired this summer's live-action movie from filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan (SHAH-muh-lahn).

The "Legend of Korra" is from the creator-producers of "Avatar: The Last Airbender."

Nickelodeon executive Brown Johnson says the new series will focus on a teenage girl avatar named Korra. Brown describes her as hotheaded, independent and "ready to take on the world."

"Avatar: The Last Airbender" has ranked among the highest-rate series on the Nickelodeon and Nicktoons channels.

Could this have been why there were rumors of a season 4 being made? I can't wait to see it.

cool, loved the series. xD

cool, love it!

"It may be set 70 years in the future.
Aang is featured in the series in the Spirit World, as Roku and past Avatars were to Aang in the Last Airbender.
Korra is from the Southern Water Tribe.
She has already mastered three of the four elements prior to the series, and is trying to master "Air". Aang's son, Tenzin, is supposed to teach it to her.
Most of the story revolves around a steampunk metropolis called Republic City. It's the epicenter of the world, and a virtual melting pot but is plagued by crime and a growing anti-bending revolution that threatens to rip the city apart."

The Only detail not confirmed is Aang in the Spirit world, but I'm certain he'll be apart of the series.

Thank God. I thought they meant a sequel to the movie from the title.

Great news! Loved the series!
