Reel Coming Soon: Cobra Kai (Trailer)

The official trailer for Cobra Kai gas dropped and I think I’ll finally be getting that paid YouTube subscription.

The series is set more than three decades after the events of the 1984 All Valley Karate Tournament and revolves around a down-and-out Johnny (William Zabka), who, seeking redemption, reopens the infamous Cobra Kai dojo. It reignites his rivalry with a now-successful Daniel (Ralph Macchio), 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 karate.

The 10-episode straight-to-series follow-up for subscription service YouTube Red will bow May 2 after launching April 24 at the Tribeca Film Festival.

Check out the full trailer below:
