Nickelodeon Australia To Premiere "The Legend of Korra" Book 3 In October 2014; Book 4 In January/February 2015

The entertainment news website IGN UK is reporting in the following article the very exciting Nickelodeon International News that Nickelodeon Australia has announced that Nickelodeon Australia and New Zealand is planning to start to premiere and show "The Legend of Korra" Book Four, the fourth and final season of Nickelodeon's hit original animated series (Nicktoon), in January and February 2015!

Additionally, Nick AU/NZ has also announced that the Australian and Kiwi version of the world's number one kids' channel will start to premiere season 3 of the show, titled "Book Three: Change", sometime in October 2014!


Both seasons will screen on Nickelodeon Australia and New Zealand but will also be made available in full on day one through Foxtel Go and Anytime services, with iTunes following shortly after.

It is currently unknown when Nickelodeon USA will premiere "Legend of Korra" Book 4, however, it is speculated Nick USA will start to debut Book 4 around the same time, as Bryan Konietzko, co-creator of "The Legend of Korra", suggested during Nickelodeon's "Korra" panel at Comic-Con International: San Diego 2014 that the show will have a presence at the New York Comic-Con. It is also currently speculated that Book 4 will be titled "Balance", however, the "Legend of Korra" news has yet to be confirmed.

From IGN:
THE LEGEND OF KORRA BOOK 3 & 4 AU RELEASE DATE REVEALED

After a hiatus, The Legend of Korra will return to Australian screens.

The Legend of Korra fans will be pleased to hear the show's final season is only a few months away with a Nickelodeon representative telling IGN Book 4 will premiere in Australia in January/February 2015.

Nickelodeon also said Season 3 of the show, titled 'Book Three: Change', will premiere sometime in October.

Both seasons will screen on Nickelodeon but will also be made available in full on day one through Foxtel Go and Anytime services, with iTunes following shortly after.

Nickelodeon Australia's decision to distribute the show through multiple platforms is similar to how the latter half of the show's third season was distributed in the US via Amazon, Xbox Video, Hulu, Google Play and Nickelodeon's own on-site streaming service, after the show was abruptly taken off-air mid-season.
