When the first teaser for Karate Kid sequel series, Cobra Kai, arrived a few weeks ago (here) we were interested but not fired up…
That’s all changed.
Having been firmly on the side of Daniel (Ralph Macchio) in the original movie, it really looks like this new series will turn the tables and, what’s more, it looks like it’s going to do it convincingly.
And, on top of that, it is bringing in a new cast of characters to join the legacy of The Karate Kid.
We’re so in. Are you?
In the highly-anticipated return of two iconic characters, the arch-rivals from the legendary Karate Kid film series reunite over 30 years after the events of the 1984 All Valley Karate Tournament. Now living in the affluent hills of Encino, Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) leads an enviable life with his beautiful family, while running a successful string of car dealerships throughout the valley. Meanwhile, his high school adversary, Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka), whose life has taken a rocky turn, seeks redemption by reopening the infamous Cobra Kai karate dojo. Their lives inevitably become intertwined and the rivalry is reignited, setting forth the next generation of “karate kids” in COBRA KAI, a YouTube Red Original Series. COBRA KAI is produced by Overbrook Entertainment in association with Sony Pictures Television.
