- The fourth season of “Cobra Kai” hits Netflix on December 31.
- The series picks up three decades after the events of “The Karate Kid” movie series.
- A Netflix subscription ranges from $9 to $18 a month, depending on the streaming quality you sign up for.
“Cobra Kai” returns for a fourth season on December 31. The series continues the story that originated in 1986’s “The Karate Kid,” offering an entertaining blend of action, drama, comedy, and ’80s nostalgia.
Though the first two seasons debuted on YouTube Premium, new episodes of “Cobra Kai” now stream exclusively on Netflix.
The series stars William Zabka as Johnny Lawrence, a middle-aged handyman who decides to open a karate dojo like the one he trained in as a teenager. Johnny’s politically incorrect teaching style catches the attention of his former high school classmate Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio), reigniting their decades’ old rivalry. Xolo Maridueña, Mary Mouser, Tanner Buchanan, Jacob Bertrand, and Martin Kove also star.
“Cobra Kai” season one premiered on YouTube Premium in 2018, and a second season followed in 2019. The show moved to Netflix for its third season in January 2021. Netflix remains the show’s home for season four, and a fifth season has already been ordered.
