Taking place 30 years after the events of the 1984 All Valley Karate Tournament, Cobra Kai sees Daniel LaRusso (a returning Ralph Macchio) struggling to maintain balance in his life without the guidance and support of Mr. Miyagi. That lack of balance is thrown more out of whack when he must face his former adversary, Johnny Lawrence (vet William Zabka), who while down on his luck, attempts to seek redemption by reopening the Cobra Kai karate dojo.

In anticipation of the show’s Netflix debut, the streamer is teasing the series in a newly cut trailer which can be seen below. No definitive date beyond the 2021 premiere window has been given, but stay tuned for more details as shows like Cobra Kai and more prepare to return to production.
