Karate Kid small screen follow-up Cobra Kai has seen big success since shifting from YouTube to Netflix. And fans have naturally been wondering when the third season might premiere on the streaming service. We have our answer at last, with an announcement about a January date for the new episodes, which you can find below.
The series, created by Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg, takes place more than 30 years after the events of the 1984 All Valley Karate Tournament with the continuation of the inescapable conflict between Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) and Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka).
Season Three finds everyone reeling in the aftermath of the violent high school brawl between their dojos, which has left Miguel (Xolo Maridueña) in a precarious condition. While Daniel searches for answers in his past and Johnny seeks redemption, John Kreese (Martin Kove) further manipulates his vulnerable students with his own vision of dominance. The soul of the Valley is at stake, and the fate of every student and sensei hangs in the balance... The new season will debut on 8 January next year.
In further good news, the announcement includes word that Season 4 is official, though naturally we'll all have to wait for that to arrive. Cobra Kai never dies!
