Fans of The Karate Kid are in for a treat as the first trailer for the upcoming YoutubeRED series, Cobra Kai has been released. The series will Macchio facing off yet again with his rival Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) in this 10-episode half-hour comedy series that is set 30 years after The Karate Kid Part III. The premise of the show states,
“The series, set to bow in 2018, is set 30 years after the events of the 1984 All Valley Karate Tournament and revolves around a down-and-out Johnny who, seeking redemption, reopens the infamous Cobra Kai dojo. It reignites his rivalry with a now-successful Daniel, who has been struggling to maintain balance in his life without the guidance of his mentor, Mr Miyagi (the late Pat Morita). The half-hour comedy follows the duo addressing demons from their past and present frustrations — through (what else?) karate.”
Cobra Kai will debut later in the year on YouTube Red.
