Cobra Kai Season 5 Key Art, Motion Poster Herald A New Era of No Mercy

Ever since Thomas Ian Griffith's Terry Silver stacked the deck to win the All-Valley tournament, things have been doom-n-gloom all throughout the valley. And an "Avengers: Endgame" move is going to be tough to pull off with Kreese (Martin Kove) behind bars and Johnny (William Zabka) & Robby (Tanner Buchanan) heading south of the border to find Miguel (Xolo Maridueña). Thankfully, Daniel (Ralph Macchio) has an ally who's returned to be by his side: Chozen (Yuji Okumoto)… but now, so does Terry. And then there's Samantha (Mary Mouser), who's taking that loss and turning it into a personal journey of self-discovery. And that's just some of what's going on as we head into the fifth season of Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz, and Hayden Schlossberg's "Karate Kid" spinoff sequel series Cobra Kai. But just in case you need a reminder of who's in charge now, we have a new key art poster to pass along that makes it crystal clear:

And if that poster isn't enough to drive home the point of just how bad things have gotten in the valley, check out the motion poster below with some chilling foreshadowing of what's to come if Daniel, Johnny, and the others can't join together to stop it:

Here's a look at the Season 5 official trailer, followed by the season overview and what could probably be the most impressive "date announcement" teaser we've seen in a long time (with Netflix's Cobra Kai set to make its return on September 9th:

COBRA KAI takes place over 30 years after the events of the 1984 All Valley Karate Tournament with the continuation of the inescapable conflict between Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) and Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka).

Following the shocking results of the All Valley Tournament, Season 5 finds Terry Silver expanding the Cobra Kai empire and trying to make his "No Mercy" style of karate the only game in town. With Kreese behind bars and Johnny Lawrence setting karate aside to focus on repairing the damage he's caused, Daniel LaRusso must call on an old friend for help.

Ralph Macchio (Daniel LaRusso), William Zabka (Johnny Lawrence), Courtney Henggeler (Amanda LaRusso), Xolo Maridueña (Miguel Diaz), Tanner Buchanan (Robby Keene), Mary Mouser (Samantha LaRusso), Jacob Bertrand (Hawk), Gianni Decenzo (Demetri), Vanessa Rubio (Carmen), Peyton List (Tory), and Martin Kove (John Kreese) star, with Dallas Dupree Young (Kenny), Oona O'Brien (Devon) and Thomas Ian Griffith (Terry Silver).
