After the major success of Nickelodeon’s Avatar: The Last Airbender, the creative team decided to make a sequel series set in the same universe of elemental benders. Under the direction of original creators Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, the sequel show The Legend of Korra debuted in April 2012. The show follows a young Water Tribe woman named Korra, who is the next Avatar in the cycle following the death of Aang. Across four seasons, Korra progresses from a hot-headed, impulsive girl into a spiritual, fully realized Avatar ready for the next phase of her life.
