Cobra Kai Season 5 Update: During this week’s Cobra Kai panel at the Netflix Comedy Festival, where the actors and producers of the popular series reunited, the broadcaster decided to give fans one gift to end the night on a fun note: the first season 5 season of Cobra Kai was unveiled, along with the release date.
Also, considering that Netflix’s last season’s most recent debut of the year, the September release date is much better than expected by fans. The series focuses on the old adversaries who have been at loggerheads for more than three decades after their classic karate film The Karate Kid.
Cobra Kai Season 5: Release Date Update
So, once again, Danny LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) should do anything to stop Terry from using the kids to raise his status. That means hiring Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) for his surreal plans to do what they should have been doing long ago: cutting off the head of a Cobra Kai snake.
Cobra Kai is a sequel to the latest 80s film starring Macchio and the late Pat Morita. It focuses on Terry Silver reclaiming his karate medal, a sport named after him.
The series first appeared on YouTube Red, but after it was canceled, Netflix picked it up and the series has done very well so far, according to audiences. This series was created and written by Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz, and Hayden Schlossberg, who recently discovered the green light of another action/comedy series.
The show also features Courtney Henggeler, Xolo Maridueña, Tanner Buchanan, Mary Mouser, Jacob Bertrand, Gianni Decenzo, Vanessa Rubio, Peyton List, Martin Kove, Dallas Dupree Young, Oona O’Brien, and Griffin Santopietro.
Before it hit the internet, the film was screened at the Cobra Kai: Live & Bad Ass event, part of Netflix’s Comedy: Festival in Los Angeles. It looks like the fifth season will start soon after the end of last season with John Kreese (Martin Kove) in jail, scheduled to strike, while his former enemy friend Terry Silver (Thomas Ian Griffith) repairs and expands Cobra Kai’s karate.
Cobra Kai is a written and executive producer produced by Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz, and Hayden Schlossberg through Counterbalance Entertainment. The first four episodes of Sony Pictures Television’s Cobra Kai are now broadcast on Netflix. Netflix is showing for the first time Season 5 of Cobra Kai on September 9th.
