Producers: Nickelodeon Studios, Burbank Studios

Distributor: Viacom International Media Networks

They say: “Set 70 years after Avatar: The Last Airbender, the show follows the adventures of Korra, a passionate, rebellious and fearless girl.”

We say: Avatar creators Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko are behind this new show, which debuts on Nickelodeon in the US in late April. It is set to arrive on Nickelodeon's international channels this autumn [Fall]. This follow-up series was due to launch last year but was pushed back to 2012 in order to expand from 12 episodes to 26.

It is expected to be a little darker in tone than its 2005 predecessor.
