'The Legend of Korra' will join 'Avatar: The Last Airbender' on Netflix in August

• Nickelodeon's "The Legend of Korra" is coming to Netflix on August 14, the platform announced today on Twitter.
• "The Legend of Korra" is a sequel series to "Avatar: The Last Airbender," which recently became available on Netflix in May.
• The four-season series is a must-watch sequel to the beloved "Avatar."

Netflix announced on Tuesday that "The Legend of Korra," the sequel series to beloved Nickelodeon cartoon "Avatar: The Last Airbender," will hit Netflix on August 14th.

In the midst of an "Avatar" fandom renaissance sparked by "Avatar's" return to the platform in May, fans will now be able to watch both the original series and its four-season sequel.

"The Legend of Korra" takes place 70 years after the final events of "Avatar: The Last Airbender" and follows Korra, a teenage bender from the Southern Water Tribe who is the next Avatar. Bold, brash, and filled to the brim with confidence, Korra travels to Republic City, a bustling 1920s-esque metropolis that brings together people from all four nations. There, she trains under airbending master Tenzin, joins a pro-bending team alongside a pair of brothers, and works to maintain balance amid growing tensions between benders and non-benders.

Across the show's four seasons, she becomes a fully realized Avatar, maintaining balance amid political strife.

The series made waves in 2014 for its relatively unprecedented queer ending, which saw female protagonists Korra and Asami walking together into a portal of glowing, golden light. After the fact, the series' creators confirmed that "Korrasami" was indeed canon, marking an early step towards increased LGBTQ+ — and in particular, bisexual — representation in all-ages programming.

"The Legend of Korra" will be available on Netflix in its entirety on August 14.
