Faster than ever before, “Cobra Kai” fans can look forward to new additions today. Because not only at the turn of the year, but already on today’s 9 September 2022, the fifth season of the “Karate Kid” series starts exclusively on Netflix.
The fifth season of “Cobra Kai” is available exclusively on Netflix starting today, September 9, 2022.
Yes, the wait is finally (!) over – although, to be fair, that doesn’t even refer to the start date of the new episodes themselves. While the previous seasons were released around the turn of the year, Season 5 is already coming around the corner in late summer – and thus a good three months earlier!
And yet many fans of the martial arts series have been sitting on pins and needles for the past nine months. On the one hand, most of them should have been through with the fourth season, which will be released on 31 December 2021, by the first week of January at the latest. On the other hand, series creators Hayden Schlossberg, Jon Hurwitz and Josh Heald already confirmed at that time that Season 5 was already shot and in the can. Three quarters of a year later, we finally get to see it. And it looks like a new highlight in the “Karate Kid” universe is in the offing…
“COBRA KAI” SEASON 5: WAR FOR THE VALLEY
First and foremost, of course, we can expect the battle for karate supremacy in the Valley in the new episodes, which has always been part of the “Karate Kid” DNA and is likely to reach unprecedented dimensions in the fifth “Cobra Kai” season.
Because the equally wealthy and sinister creep and Kreese successor Terry Silver (Thomas Ian Griffith) is doing everything he can to expand with Cobra Kai and open dojos by the dozen in the region. If Daniel Larusso (Ralph Macchio) and Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) want to prevent this sinister plan, they will have to work together once again. But can the two arch-rivals get together again? And how long will the teamwork last this time?
But there is also a lot going on outside the valley. After all, in the final moments of Season 4 Miguel (Xolo Maridueña) just set off for Mexico to look for his biological father. Johnny and his offspring Robby (Tanner Buchanan), however, take up the chase and do everything they can to bring the teenager back.
In keeping with the tradition of the previous seasons, we are also expecting one or two more comebacks by an original star. At least Yuji Okumoto will return once again as Chozen, and “Karate Kid III” villain Mike Barnes (Sean Kanan) will also be part of the cast.
