It’s official: The Legend continues! Nickelodeon has picked up a
second season of the animated adventure series The Legend of Korra, EW
has learned. After averaging 3.8 million viewers for Season 1, Book 1, which
concluded June 23, the Avatar: The Last Airbender sequel is receiving a
second-season order of 26 episodes that presumably will be divided into two
parts called Books 3 and 4, bringing the total number of episodes to 52.
The series is already set to return in 2013 with the premiere of Season 1,
Book 2 (which consists of 14 previously ordered episodes), as 17-year-old chosen one Korra (voiced by Janet Varney) has now become a fully realized Avatar. The cast also includes Kiernan Shipka (Mad Men), David Faustino
(Married… with Children), and P.J. Byrne (Horrible Bosses).
