'The Legend of Korra: Enhanced Experience' Comes To iTunes [EXCLUSIVE]

Nickelodeon is bringing Korra-fanatics deeper into the world of Avatars and Benders with the interactive book "The Legend of Korra: Enhanced Experience." "Enhanced Experience" will feature concept art, an in-depth look at the characters, animatics, storyboards, and more! It'll be available for FREE starting Tuesday, July 2 at iTunes.com/Korra.

For those of you heading to San Diego Comic-Con, the gang from "Korra" will hold their panel on Friday, July 19 from 11:15 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. in Ballroom 20. If you can't make it, don't worry, MTV Geek will be there to bring all the goods you need!

PLUS! Nick has provided us a look at two characters who will appear in the upcoming "Legend of Korra" Book Two from the "Enhanced Experience"!

Here's Tonraq (Waterbender, Korra’s father)

"Tonraq was a general in the Northern Water Tribe and next in line to be the Chief. As a warrior, he relied on his physical strength to protect the tribe and was never very connected to the spiritual world. He is brash and hotheaded, not unlike Korra. Now living in the South, he’s determined to live a simple life. But when fate intervenes, he’s forced to lead his people in battle against his own brother."

And Unalaq (Waterbender, Chief of the Water Tribe)

"Tonraq's younger brother. He is an incredibly powerful Waterbender who also has a strong connection with the Spirit World. Because of his deep spiritual connections, he always believed that he was better suited to rule the North and the South than his older, brutish brother. He’s a firm believer in the old ways of the Water Tribe and a true fundamentalist when it comes to honoring the Spirits."

"The Haunted Hathaways is a high-concept show that combines the ultimate blended family with a new dimension of fun to bring fresh and relatable storytelling for our audience," said Russell Hicks, Nickelodeon's President of Content Development and Production. "Fans will be excited to see the silly hijinks and supernatural comedy that ensue as our talented creative team and ensemble cast bring these two families, literally from different worlds, to life."

The Haunted Hathaways follows the adventures of a not-so-typical blended family. When Michelle Hathaway (Ginifer King) relocates to New Orleans, LA., to open a bakery with her daughters Taylor (Amber Montana) and Frankie (Breanna Yde), they quickly learn that life in the "Big Easy" is very different. Unbeknownst to them, their new home is already occupied by a ghost family comprised of jazz musician father Ray Preston (Chico Benymon), and his sons Miles (Curtis Harris) and Louie (Benjamin "Lil P-Nut" Flores Jr.). After agreeing to live under one roof, they come to care about and rely on one another while driving each other crazy-- just like any normal family would. Though leery at first, the Hathaways soon discover how much fun life can be when living with ghosts.

The Haunted Hathaways is executive produced by Boyce Bugliari & Jamie McLaughlin (Bucket & Skinner's Epic Adventures). The two have served as writing partners for over a decade, most recently writing for TV Land's The Exes and MTV's Beavis and Butthead. They also served as writers and producers for Comedy Central's Kid Notorious and their popular celebrity news parody The Showbiz Show with David Spade.
