Cobra Kai Star Martin Kove Signals He's Wrapped Season 5 Filming

The past three seasons of Netflix's Cobra Kai have been leading to the upcoming fourth season of the "Karate Kid" sequel spinoff series, set to hit screens on December 31st. Thomas Ian Griffith's Terry Silver (The Karate Kid III) has joined forces with Kreese (Martin Kove) to offer some serious firepower in his war against Daniel (Ralph Macchio) and Johnny (William Zabka) in the all-important Under-18 All Valley 51st Karate Championship. So if Daniel's Miyagi-Do and Johnny's Eagle Fang dojos stand any chance of winning, they'll have to find a way to work together. Because this time, there's more than just a trophy and bragging rights on the line. It's for the heart and soul of the community, meaning new alliances, new students, and (of course) new conflicts. Because when the fighting's done and a winner is declared, someone's dojo will be closing its doors for good. But as dire as all of that sounds, fans can take comfort in knowing that the series will be back for a fifth season. And now we're getting a huge update on the show's future from none other than Kove, who checked in on Sunday to let us know that he's wrapped filming on the fifth season. That's right, twelve days before Cobra Kai returns for Season 4.

"S5. Finished. My humbled gratitude to all. Every day. No mercy. All day. 👊🏻🐍🔥 rewatch S1-3 before S4 on December 31st happy holidays, make it count! Love you all," Kove wrote in the caption to his Instagram post, also offering fans a smile and a thumbs-up to make it all official:

Every legacy and every rivalry has led to this. Netflix's Cobra Kai Season 4 premieres worldwide on December 31, 2021- now here's a look at the official trailer:

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). Season 4 finds the Miyagi-Do and Eagle Fang dojos joining forces to take down Cobra Kai at the All Valley Under 18 Karate Tournament… and whoever loses must hang up their gi. As Samantha and Miguel try to maintain the dojo alliance and Robby goes all in at Cobra Kai, the fate of the Valley has never been more precarious. What tricks does Kreese have up his sleeve? Can Daniel and Johnny bury their decades-long hatchet to defeat Kreese? Or will Cobra Kai become the face of karate in the valley?

Here's a look back at the teaser that laid it all out for the viewers when it comes to the All-Valley Under 18 Karate Tournament:
