If you’re already looking forward to the third season of Cobra KaiWe have good news! It’s been over a year since last season arrived – though the show didn’t make its Netflix debut until August – and it will be a bit longer before the new season hits. After Netflix had already announced that the third season would debut on January 8, 2021, Netflix has moved the release date to New Years! Right, you can start the New Year with a whole bunch of new episodes.
Unlike the first two seasons, the third season will be exclusive to Netflix: the first two seasons began on YouTube Red in 2018 and 2019 before being recorded by Netflix in August 2020. Season three, however, will be on Netflix from the start.
Cobra Kai is one of several “sequel” revival television shows that have come out in the past few years that take up the story of The karate kid. It follows Johnny Lawrence and Daniel LaRusso – played again by William Zabka and Ralph Macchio – decades after their teenage rivalry as both struggle with their family and professional lives. The show also stars Courtney Henggeler as Amanda LaRusso, Xolo Maridueña as Miguel Diaz, Tanner Buchanan as Robby Keene, Mary Mouser as Samantha LaRusso and Martin Kove as John Kreese. The first two seasons are fully watchable on Netflix, so you can be totally caught up with when the third season hits January 1st, 2021!
