Like the stealthy ninjas of feudal Japan, Netflix came out of the blue with a sneak attack, but this time it's not dealing a deathblow to any of its shows: it's giving us a surprise Cobra Kai season 5 trailer.
And, despite being labeled as a date announcement trailer (usually containing no new footage), this trailer gives us nearly two minutes of tantalizing footage from the upcoming season.
Even better, Season 5 is coming even earlier than expected: while the last two seasons came around Christmas and New Years, the next season is coming much earlier in the year, on September 9, 2022.
So why go ahead? We wouldn't be surprised if it had something to do with the declining number of subscribers to the service; We can't blame Netflix for wanting to remind people that a show they love doesn't get cancelled...
Anyway, you can check out the trailer for Cobra Kai season 5 below.
What to expect from Cobra Kai Season 5(*5*)
Since it is impossible to talk about Cobra Kai Season 5 without mentioning the things that happened in previous seasons, you have to be careful with SPOILERS under.
At the end of last season, things did not go well for Miyagi-Do and Eagle Fang Karate, with both schools forced to close after losing to the new Cobra Kai led by Terry Silver at the All Karate Tournament.-Valley.
As seen in the Season 5 trailer, things only get worse when Cobra Kai announces plans to open multiple dojos across the Valley.
Knowing that Terry (Thomas Ian Griffith) will gladly put children in harm's way to get what he wants, Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) teams up with Chozen Toguchi (Yuji Okumoto) to stop him.
Meanwhile, Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) goes on a trip to Mexico with his son, Robby (Tanner Buchanan), who has finally turned his back on Cobra Kai. Of course, things get tense when he realizes that Johnny is actually there to find Miguel (Xolo Maridueña), who has gone to Mexico looking for his father.
So far, it looks like we're ready for another great season of Cobra Kai. Hopefully, we won't have to wait much longer to see it in full when it launches on September 9.
