A series based on Avatar: The Last Airbender is currently in development at Nickelodeon and due for release in 2011.[68] It will involve Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, the creators and producers of the original series.[69][70] The show, tentatively titled Avatar: The Legend of Korra, will be a twelve-episode mini series that takes place in the same universe,[68][71] 70 years after the defeat of Fire Lord Ozai.[72] The development period and release dates were announced at the annual Comic-Con in San Diego on July 22, 2010.[73]

The series will focus on Korra, a teenage female protagonist and current incarnation of the Avatar, who, according to the president of Nickelodeon, will be "hotheaded, independent, and ready to take on the world".[68] She has already mastered the elements of Water, Earth, and Fire, but needs to master Air. The character was partly inspired by Avatar Kyoshi of the original series, whom the creators say was very popular among fans.[74] In order to avoid repetition of Aang's adventures, the creators wanted to root the show in one place, called Republic City.[74] A concept drawing of the city, released with the announcement of the series, shows the city's design as inspired by Shanghai in the 1920s and 1930s, Hong Kong, Manhattan, and Vancouver.[74] In the show, Korra will have to learn Airbending from master Tenzin, son of Avatar Aang and Katara,[74] and contend with an anti-bender revolution taking place in the city.[75]

While not targeting a different demographic than The Last Airbender,[74] Michael and Bryan have stated that the show won't cover more mature subject material necessarily, just different mature subjects, "It won't be another war, but a different sort of conflict."[76] The creators also explained that there would be some "cheesy teen romance" for the main character, Korra.[76] At the 2010 Comic-Con, it was revealed that the creators will continue to work with Joaquim Dos Santos and Ryuki Hung on the animation and design of the show.[76] The creators also confirmed that they will directly write all twelve episodes, explaining that as a mini-series, episode fillers will be ommited, allowing for a "really tight" and "cool" story.[76] In late July, Jeremy Zuckerman, composer of the original series, was confirmed to be returning to score The Legend of Korra.[77]
