Avatar: The Last Airbender S03: Adam Beach Reportedly Cast as Hakoda

Adam Beach has reportedly been cast in the role of Hakoda for the third season of Netflix's live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender series.

Earlier this month, Gordon Cormier (Aang), Ian Ousley (Sokka), Miya Cech (Toph), Kiawentiio (Katara), Dallas Liu (Zuko), Elizabeth Yu (Azula), Paul Sun-Hyung Lee (Uncle Roh), and Daniel Dae Kim (Fire Lord Azai) dropped a video to let us know that filming on the second season of Netflix and Showrunners Christine Boylan and Jabbar Raisani's series adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender had wrapped filming and that production on the third season was already underway. At that time, we also learned who would be joining the series for the second and third runs – and now, Deadline Hollywood is reporting exclusively that Adam Beach (Government Cheese, A Cut Above) has been cast in the role of Hakoda – father of Sokka (Ousley) and Katara (Kiawentiio) – for the third season (a move that should make a lot of fans happy, though Netflix has not officially confirmed DH's reporting).

Speaking of the third season, we also learned earlier this month that Jon Jon Briones (Ratched, Hadestown, The Last Voyage of the Demeter) has been cast as Piandao, with Tantoo Cardinal (Dances with Wolves, Legends of the Fall, Killers of the Flower Moon) tapped for the role of Hama in Season 3. But what about Season 2? Well, we also have another round of new faces for the second season to pass along – including: Terry Chen (Lucky Star, Jessica Jones, House of Cards) as Jeong Jeong; Dolly De Leon (Triangle of Sadness, Between the Temples, Ghostlight) as Lo and Li; Lily Gao (Blue Sun Palace, Twisted Metal, Slip) as Ursa; Madison Hu (The Brothers Sun, Boogeyman) as Fei; and Dichen Lachman (Severance, Jurassic World: Dominion, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes) as Yangchen. Here's a look at the cast multi-tasking with their production announcements, as production on the third season rolls on:

Yu is on board as Lady Beifong, Toph's mother, while Misipeka will play professional earthbending wrestler, The Boulder. Faberes has been tapped for General Sung, a high-ranking Earth Army commander – with Sharma set for a new character, Amita.

And here's a look back at the video of the cast returning to start work on the second season – including the table read – that was released by Netflix back in September 2024:
