Netflix is removing fan-favorite show The Legend of Korra only weeks after a new Avatar: The Last Airbender animated series is announced

For those Avatar fans still celebrating Nickelodeon's recent announcement that a new sequel series to The Last Airbender is in the works, we have some bad news – a fan-favorite show from the franchise is leaving Netflix very soon.

We're talking about The Legend of Korra, which followed the original series with a standalone story, running for four seasons (or books) from 2012 to 2014. The show introduced a new Avatar named Korra, capable of manipulating all elements (water, earth, fire, or air) and responsible for maintaining balance in a world filled with political and spiritual unrest.

Per the official logline, "In a world shattered by a devastating cataclysm, a young Earthbender discovers she's the new Avatar after Korra – but in this dangerous era, that title marks her as humanity's destroyer, not its savior. Hunted by both human and spirit enemies, she and her long-lost twin must uncover their mysterious origins and save the Seven Havens before civilization's last strongholds collapse."

If this is still not enough for you, don't worry — a feature-length animated Avatar movie, Aang: The Last Airbender, is set to hit theaters in January 2026, with Dave Bautista leading the voice cast.
