Cobra Kai Season 3 Trailer: Johnny & Daniel Fighting Together? Sold!

Cobra Kai creators Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz, and Hayden Schlossberg kept their promise from yesterday by delivering the official trailer for the third season on Wednesday- and here's the thing. We could tell you how we're concerned about Miguel's (Xolo Maridueña) long-term prognosis, or how the various families are going to deal with the fallout from last season- things like that. But we have a feeling there's one thing about the preview that follows that's going to stick out he most: watching Johnny (William Zabka) and Daniel (Ralph Macchio) team up to take down a very, very "big bad" in the form of Kreese (Martin Kove). Translation? That means Johnny and Daniel are going to be kicking ass- together. Told you that's all we needed to tell you to get you to hit "PLAY."

So while it may be a new year and a new season, Netflix's Cobra Kai never dies- and as you're about to see in the following official trailer? It's as badass as ever:

In August, Hurwitz revealed that all of the film trilogy's characters are potentially in play (as it clearly appears in the brief season 3 scene above): "We love The Karate Kid trilogy and anyone who has seen Seasons 1 and 2 has seen us make references to all three of the original Karate Kid films. And we also say that it's our belief that anything that has happened in a movie Mr. Miyagi was in, which includes The Next Karate Kid, is part of the Miyagi-Verse and our series takes place in the Miyagi-Verse." Hurwitz continued, "Any character who has lived within this Miyagi-Verse has potential to show up at some point on Cobra Kai and I can say that the three of us, as writers, have literally discussed pretty much every person who has appeared in those films, from these large characters you're talking about, like the Terry Silvers of the world, to the most minor characters who had one or two lines."

That said, as fun as it is to bring these characters back for the fans it's important that the characters they use bring something meaningful to the series' overall narrative: "We view that as all characters who live in our universe and, at any moment in time, have the potential to show up as long as they're relevant to the present-day story that we're telling and don't feel like they're thrown in there for cameo purposes or for simply for nostalgia's sake," Hurwitz explained. "There needs to be a real, dramatic reason [in] present-day why any of these characters would be relevant to our story. I can say that, going forward, we should expect more characters from The Karate Kid films to return but I can't say who or when or pretty much anything beyond that."
