Cobra Kai is not ending its training anytime soon. Netflix has renewed the series for a fifth season ahead of its fourth season premiere which is set for December.

The Cobra Kai series is a continuation of the popular 1980s Karate Kid movie franchise with Ralph Macchio returning as Daniel LaRusso. The comedy-drama series has seen Daniel battling his old foe, Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka), but by the end of the third season they had joined forces to go up against a bigger foe – John Kreese (Martin Kove).

Netflix revealed more about Cobra Kai in a press release.

“Netflix has renewed Cobra Kai, the series continuation of the iconic The Karate Kid film franchise, for a fifth season with production set to start in Atlanta this fall.

Produced by Sony Pictures Television, 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 Westbrook Entertainment along with Susan Ekins. Ralph Macchio and William Zabka also serve as executive producers.

The first three seasons of Sony Pictures Television’s Cobra Kai are now streaming with Season 4 premiering in December 2021.
