Legend of Korra Book 3 dropped from Nickelodeon, going online exclusive

[Jan]

Not sure how many of you folks are Legend of Korra fans, but after what seems to be a series of unfortunate events, the series has been dropped from Nickelodeon's linear broadcast and going exclusively online.

There doesn't seem to be a way to access the new episodes legally from South Africa, however.

Anyway, here's the latest update from the creators at San Diego Comic Con, via IO9: http://io9.com/creators-of-the-legend-of-korra-explain-the-shows-not-c-1611119124

It's no secret that Avatar, especially Korra, is not typical Nickelodeon fare. And so they've had kind of a hard time fitting it into their programming. But basically the Book 2 finale, the numbers were insane when they streamed it, when it went on Nick.com. It was the biggest event they had that year. And that show, digital downloads for that season was amazing. And, as you've seen, not so much on the channel. So it's just part of this shift over.

It definitely caught us by surprise and it wasn't necessarily done in the smoothest way and that was upsetting to many of you and us as well.

So, we're moving over to digital. It's actually a plan that was in place earlier and it changed course and then went back in a bit of a messy way. But thanks for sticking with us.

Apparently nothing's changed story-wise for Book 3, and Book 4 is still a go.

Maybe Netflix Hulu or Crunch Roll will stream it?
