On the heels of its season 2 premiere on YouTube, Cobra Kai has been renewed for a third season. The critically praised original series starring Ralph Macchio and William Zabka will premiere its third season next year.
Season 2 picked up following the shocking cliffhanger featuring the return of John Kreese (Martin Kove). When a new rivalry between opposing dojos is born in the aftermath of Cobra Kai’s controversial win at the All Valley Championships, Daniel (Macchio) realizes his next countermove is to open his own karate training school called Miyagi-Do, in honor of his mentor Mr. Miyagi.
With the renewal news, it was also announced that the series will be able to be streamed for free, with ads, of course, beginning in the fall. This gives more people a chance to discover the show but it honestly doesn’t need the help. The freshman season of Cobra Kai was a digital sensation, topping 55 million YouTube views for Episode 1 and ranking as the sixth-most Google-searched TV show in 2018.
