LOS ANGELES � A sequel to Nickelodeon's "Avatar: The Last Airbender" is in the works.

The channel said Wednesday the new animated TV series will premiere in 2011. It has the working title, "The Legend of Korra."

Nickelodeon says the series will build on the "mythology" of the original "The Last Airbender" series, which inspired this summer's live-action movie from filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan (SHAH-muh-lahn).

The "Legend of Korra" is from the creator-producers of "Avatar: The Last Airbender."

Nickelodeon executive Brown Johnson says the new series will focus on a teenage girl avatar named Korra. Brown describes her as hotheaded, independent and "ready to take on the world."

"Avatar: The Last Airbender" has ranked among the highest-rate series on the Nickelodeon and Nicktoons channels.

Really, if you live in America, it's as easy as having a Netflix account. The whole series is on Instant Queue.

Ground Control to Fox McCloud Group: Inquisitor Lord Posts: 4,800 Member No.: 4 Joined: 14-October 04	There were some elements of steampunk in the original series, I suppose. The Fire Nation's war machines were great clanking iron things, belching smoke (often with boilers fired by firebenders, no less), in particular the giant drill they used to breach Ba Sing Se was filled with gears and steam pipes, I believe.

Sokka teamed up with a brash, arrogant rookie, fresh from the Earthbending academy. They're getting their own spin-off buddy cop series where they hate each other at first, but then come to like each other. You know, because there's plenty of other ways buddy-cop films turn out.

That would be hilarious.

Given that there's a new Avatar we can probably guess Aang has passed away from old age, and if the prophecy from the show is right he and Katara had tons of kids so it might be interesting to see how that goes.

That would be awesome. Almost as awesome as the concept for Double K. (Kamina and Kittan from Gurren Lagaan as buddy cops)

--- The New Team Avatar will be a trio: Korra and two brothers named Mako and Bolin.

---Mako and Bolin are brothers, both benders, but of different disciplines.

--- Mako is a Firebender, and the brooding type.

--- Mako is named after the Mako.

--- Bolin is the younger brother, a goofy Earthbender.

--- Paboo/Pabu is a Fire Ferret, a hybrid of red panda and ferret.

--- The police are metalbenders and they zipline around the city.
