I hope you already have your tickets for the All Valley Karate Tournament, because it looks like there will be at least one more big revenge. Netflix today announced its hit series Cobra Kai has been shot in a fifth season, even before the fourth season. (Or get close to the broadcast, really; the next installment of the martial arts drama isn’t available until December of this year.) For those who follow, this causes a third excuse for YouTube to be launched by let go of a great success story, unless you want the army of teenage fighters in the series to kick off.
After the first season of the program it turned out to be an unexpectedly funny surprise, it was a disappointment to see him take to the carpet with an over-reliance on direct-face drama in the second season. Fortunately, that recovered by the third round, delivering enough wide comic ribs to see him still standing for another year, and giving us enough karate puns to see this paragraph all the way to the end of the crane. Last season ended with the reintroduction of the villain from the third film, Terry Silver (Thomas Ian Griffith), we don’t see him, but John Kreese (Martin Kove) makes a call to an old friend while looking at a photo of the shower with ponytail, that is, the series is not about to let go of self-referential mythology soon. That’s fine; these things are usually quite fun, in general. But please, for God’s sake, make Tory less of a cartoon character spinning his mustache this season. And the next time a massive fight destroys a private residence, someone, please, calls the cops.
Production in the fifth season of Cobra KaI plan to start this fall in Atlanta. Go eagle eye!
