Season five of Cobra Kai will be released on Netflix much earlier than was previously anticipated. In a break from tradition, with previous seasons dropping in the New Year, Cobra Kai will return on Friday, September 9.
The series acts as a sequel to the original Karate Kid films, continuing its popularity for the martial arts genre. After beginning on YouTube, Cobra Kai moved to Netflix from season three onwards and has only gained more fans with each passing season.
With the franchise’s debut film establishing teenager Daniel LaRusso as the main character, who is taught karate by Mr Miyagi to defend himself against bully Johnny Lawrence, the spin-off aimed to bring forward their respective lives decades on. Characters old and new will feature in the series’ fifth instalment as they all try to find their inner self.
