‘Cobra Kai’: ‘Karate Kid’ spinoff moves to Netflix; third season coming soon
“Cobra Kai” is getting a platform upgrade, moving from YouTube Premium to Netflix. The first two seasons of the series spinoff of “The Karate Kid” film franchise will be available later this year on the streaming service, with an already filmed Season 3 to follow, Netflix announced Monday. “Cobra Kai,” which features Ralph Macchio and William Zabka in the roles they first played in the 1984 “Karate Kid” film, picks up three decades after the All Valley Karate Tournament. Macchio’s Daniel LaRusso is struggling without his mentor, Mr. Miyagi (Noriyuki “Pat” Morita in the films), and Zabka’s Johnny Lawrence is seeking redemption by reopening the Cobra Kai karate dojo. Martin Kove, another “Karate Kid” alum, plays sensei John Kreese in the series. The departure of “Cobra Kai,” originally part of YouTube Red subscription programming, marks the latest step in YouTube’s departure from scripted series. The third season had been announced before the Netflix deal and Sony had been looking for a new home for the series. “Cobra Kai,” which premiered in 2018 and has received two Emmy nominations, was the platform’s biggest scripted success.
