Netflix Renews ‘Cobra Kai’ for Season 4, Season 3 Premiere Date Announced

“Cobra Kai,” one of the recent hits at Netflix, has been renewed for a fourth season at Netflix, even before the season 3 premiere. Netflix has revealed the season 3 premiere date as well, with a teaser (watch above). Season 3 will premiere on January 8, 2021, at Netflix.

The TV series picks up 30 years after the 1984 All Valley Karate Tournament of the original films and dives right back into the reignited rivalry between Ralph Macchio’s Daniel LaRusso and William Zabka’s Johnny Lawrence.

The show from The Karate Kid film franchise from Sony Pictures Television started its run at YouTube Premium before moving to Netflix for its third season. The first two seasons of “Cobra Kai” are currently streaming on Netflix and have proven to be very popular.

In the third season of the show, its main characters are still reeling from the violent brawl between rival high school dojos that have left Miguel Diaz, played by Xolo Maridueña, severely injured. Macchio’s Daniel looks for answers in his past while Zabka’s Johnny looks for redemption and John Kreese (Martin Kove) tries to sway his students into aligning with his own vision of dominance.

Cobra Kai is written and executive produced by Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz, and Hayden Schlossberg via their production company, Counterbalance Entertainment. Will Smith, James Lassiter, and Caleeb Pinkett executive produce for Overbrook Entertainment along with Susan Ekins in association with Sony Pictures Television. Ralph Macchio and William Zabka serve as co-executive producers.
