It’s fair to say that Nickelodeon’s follow-up to Avatar: The Last Airbender, The Legend of Korra, is a hit. Drawing an average of 3.7 million viewers per episode, this year’s dark, philosophical story of Korra and the Equalists gained critical praise and a raft of fans of both child and adult.
Those fans who’ll be pleased to know that the show, originally intended as a 12-episode run and then extended to include a further 14 episodes due to air next year, has been lengthened once again. A further two 'books’ are on their way, each featuring 13 instalments of the animated series telling separate stories, and bringing the eventual episode total to 52.
As yet, no official broadcast date for the second book has been confirmed, but we'll keep you posted. The Legend of Korra is expected to conclude at the end of its fourth book.
