Cobra Kai Season 5 Teaser Makes Terry Silver's Dojo Look Pretty Good
When Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz, and Hayden Schlossberg's "Karate Kid" spinoff sequel series Cobra Kai crane-kicks its way back onto our screens for Season 3 on September 9th, things aren't going too well in the valley. But our heroes are in no position to tackle that- at least, not yet. Kreese (Martin Kove) is behind bars, while Johnny (William Zabka) & Robby (Tanner Buchanan) are heading south of the border to find Miguel (Xolo Maridueña). Daniel (Ralph Macchio) still has Chozen (Yuji Okumoto) by his side, but it's not enough. With Thomas Ian Griffith's Terry Silver stacking the deck last season to win the All-Valley tournament, Cobra Kai is now in charge and looking to spread its influence throughout the valley. And one of the ways they're doing that? A little advertising on social media, which Netflix was kind enough to share earlier today. And if we're being honest? It doesn't look half bad…
So to see if Cobra Kai is the right dojo for you, check out the following teaser/meta commercial for the series' return;
In the following previously-released preview, Chozen has a plan to share with Daniel on how they can take the fight to Silver:

And here's a look back at the Season 5 trailer, followed by the season overview and what could probably be the most impressive "date announcement" teaser we've seen in a long time:
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).
Alicia Hannah-Kim (Minx) portrays South Korean sensei Kim Da-Eun, who will play a major role in Terry Silver's (Thomas Ian Griffith) expansion plans. Dallas Dupree Young's Kenny Payne has been promoted to series regular for the fifth season. In addition, Sean Kanan is returning to the franchise to reprise his role as Mike Barnes. Cobra Kai is written and executive produced by series creators Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz, and Hayden Schlossberg via production company Counterbalance Entertainment.
