Avatar: The Legend of Korra may not have ended the way fans were expecting in 2014, but it still had its fans, and it is still considered part of the main Avatar canon. The cycle of the Avatar continues though, and Avatar Studios is said to be hard at work at a new series focused on the Avatar after Korra.
We don’t have any official details revealed, but Knight Edge Media has released some possible story details for the show. While some fans took this with a grain of salt, a following post was made on Reddit of some art and a storyboard that basically confirms a lot of details from the report.
The post has since been deleted, but the pictures of “Avatar Pavi” have already been going around online:

The original report from KEM had detailed that the new Avatar would be named Pavi, and she’s a girl that looks to be younger than Aang when ATLA started. She’s said to be an Earthbending girl, who is also a paraplegic; she has a metal prosthetic leg, and it’s implied that she could alter it with the use of metalbending.
The man standing besides Pavi is Jae, and he’s said to be a new generation of Airbender (thus the arrows on his outfit and yellow/orange color scheme.
As far as the setting goes, it’s said that during this time, the Four Nations no longer exist; a cataclysmic event was said to have split the world in several countries or ‘havens’. It’s also worth noting that this event was said to have been stopped by Korra, and is probably the reason she died. Pavi is living in one of the havens when we meet her, and she also has a cat/monkey spirit animal companion named Geet which is big enough to ride.
There is also something about Pavi having a twin who could also have Avatar powers and is raised by the White Lotus, but it’s not clear how they got separted or how Pavi ended up alone fending for her life.
Again, this is all just considered to be a rumor, but after the drop of the storyboards, fans are starting to think that there is a lot of truth to the site’s initial report.
Personally, I think it’s a great setting, and it’s exactly the kind of story subversion that I love about the succeeding Avatar series—plus it cements Korra as the most powerful Avatar.
We don’t know when they’ll make an official reveal, but hopefully we get something before the year ends. Even a teaser would be nice.
No release date has been announced for the next Avatar series.
