The Legend of Korra, also known as Avatar: The Legend of Korra, or more rarely simply as Korra, is an American animated fantasy action television series created by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko for Nickelodeon. This series is a stand-alone sequel to their previous series, Avatar: The Last Airbender, which ran for three seasons from 2005 to 2008. The Legend of Korra ran for 52 episodes across four seasons from 2012 to 2014.
Like its predecessor, the series is set in a fictional universe in which certain people can telekinetically manipulate, or “bend”, one of the four elements: water, earth, fire, or air. Only one individual, the “Avatar”, can bend all four elements, and is responsible for maintaining balance in the world. The series follows Avatar Korra, the successor and reincarnation of Aang from the previous series, as she faces political and spiritual unrest in a modernizing world.
The main characters are voiced by Janet Varney, Seychelle Gabriel, David Faustino, P. J. Byrne, J. K. Simmons and Mindy Sterling, and supporting voice actors include Aubrey Plaza, John Michael Higgins, Kiernan Shipka, Lisa Edelstein, Steve Blum, Eva Marie Saint, Henry Rollins, Anne Heche, and Zelda Williams. Some of the people who worked on Avatar: The Last Airbender (including designer Joaquim Dos Santos, writers Joshua Hamilton and Tim Hedrick, composer Jeremy Zuckerman and sound designer Benjamin Wynn) returned to work on The Legend of Korra.
Avatar Korra, commonly known simply as Korra, is the title lead character in Nickelodeon’s animated television series The Legend of Korra (a spin-off of Avatar: The Last Airbender), in which she is depicted as the current incarnation of Raava’s Avatar—the spiritual embodiment of balance and change—responsible for maintaining peace and harmony in the world. She is the immediate reincarnation of Avatar Aang (title character and main protagonist from the original series). The character was created by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko and was voiced by Janet Varney, and by Cora Baker in flashback scenes of Korra as a child.
Korra debuted in the first episode of The Legend of Korra, “Welcome to Republic City”, originally airing on Nickelodeon on April 14, 2012. At the start of the series, she meets Bolin and Mako after arriving in Republic City, where she first experiences independence after living a secluded life of training, led by the Order of the White Lotus.
