QIs there really going to be a spin off?
AYes. Nickelodeon has announced that there will be a follow-up series called The Legend of Korra.

Nickelodeon has ordered 26 episodes--so far. Quoting from The Wall Street Journal:Korra's quest eventually leads her to Republic City--the epicenter of the world of Avatar. A metropolis powered by steampunk-type technology, the city is inhabited by people from all nations. Korra finds that Republic City suffers from rampant crime and is also dealing with an anti-bender revolt. Korra is tutored by Aang's son, Tenzin, is the ways of airbending.

QWill Aang always be the last airbender?
ANo. 70 years after the events of Avatar: The Last Airbender, the spin-off series titled The Legend of Korra reveals that there is at least one new airbender, Tenzin, the son of Aang and Katara. Tenzin is the airbending teacher to Korra, the new Avatar. His 3 children, Aang's grandchildren, are also Airbenders.
ANo, but there will be a follow-up comic-book series and a sequel set decades after the original show. The creators confirmed that at San Diego Comic Con in July, 2007. Other stories will be told in the Avatar world and there is the live-action movie, but the animated series ends with Book 3: Fire. The further adventures of Aang and his friends will be continued in an ongoing comic-book series to be published by Dark Horse Comics.Nickelodeon has announced that there will be a new series titled The Legend of Korra. 'The Legend of Korra' takes place 70 years after the events of 'Avatar: The Last Airbender' and follows the adventures of the Avatar after Aang a passionate, rebellious, and fearless teenaged girl from the Southern Water Tribe named Korra. Korra is tutored by Aang's son, Tenzin, in the ways of airbending; so, in a sense, 'The Legend of Korra' will be 'Book 4: Air', because the Avatar is learning airbending.
