It was announced at the annual Comic-Con in San Diego on July 22, 2010 that a series based on Avatar: The Last Airbender is currently in development at Nickelodeon and due for release sometime in 2012.[1][5] It will involve Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, the creators and producers of the original series.[4] Tentatively titled "Avatar: Legend of Korra", it was intended to be a twelve-episode[2] mini series that takes place in the same fictional universe as the original show,[1] except seventy years later.[6] Recently it has been announced that an additional 14 episodes have been ordered, bringing the total episode count to 26.[1]
The show is expected to be darker and more mature than the original show; however, the creators are not attempting to target a new audience, intending to balance mature themes with a sense of fun and adventure. Furthermore, there will be some "cheesy teen romance" for the main character, Korra. The creators also confirmed that they will personally write all of the episodes, explaining that, as a mini-series, filler episodes will be omitted, allowing for a "really tight" and "cool" story.[7] Joaquim Dos Santos and Ryuki Hung, who worked on the animation and design of the original series, will also be involved in this show, as well as storyboarder Ian Graham. Furthermore, Jeremy Zuckerman, who composed the soundtrack for the original series as part of "The Track Team", will also be returning to score "Legend of Korra".[8]
Dante Basco, voice actor of Prince Zuko in the first series has confirmed his return to the series.[9] He has confirmed via Twitter that he is voicing a different character than Zuko, but that character is related to Zuko in some way.[10] Basco also confirmed that one of the episodes is currently titled "Skeleton in the Closet".[11] Similarly, Dee Bradley Baker has confirmed that he will also return to the series, voicing several animals and humans. He also called the series "The Journey of Korra", though it is unknown if that will be a potential title.[12] Rob Paulsen has confirmed that he and Eva Marie Saint will both voice characters in the series, although Paulsen's role will be relatively minor.[13] Richard Epcar is also confirmed to be portraying a character.[14]

I am not trying to be rude but I have a hard time to like Asami. Somehow I think that she is a boyfriend stealer and please don't say that Korra kised Mako first when they were dating. Mako enjoyed it and you know it. Just every time I see her I see a too emotional girl that in 4 season wants to forgive his father for wanting to destroy Republic City. Sorry bakes2389 if this is too offensive to you. I didn't mean to insult anyone. She irritates me with her praising about that she is not a fragile girl. We know that.
Thank you zanhar1. She helped me for my first article. If it wasn't her I would be cursing all around here.
