Netflix just released a batch of photos from the new season one month out from the premiere of Cobra Kai season five. The photos don’t give away much about what’s in store but do show the Cobra Kai dojo has become incredibly popular.
“As Terry Silver calls upon some old friends to put the Valley in a stranglehold, Daniel and Johnny are going to need all the help they can get to stop Cobra Kai in its tracks,” revealed showrunners Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz, and Hayden Schlossberg in an interview posted on Netflix’s TUDUM.
Season five, which promises a “showdown decades in the making,” stars Ralph Macchio as Daniel LaRusso and William Zabka as Johnny Lawrence. The season five cast also includes Courtney Henggeler as Amanda LaRusso, Xolo Maridueña as Miguel Diaz, Tanner Buchanan as Robby Keene, Mary Mouser as Samantha LaRusso, and Jacob Bertrand as Hawk.
Gianni Decenzo plays Demetri, Vanessa Rubio is Carmen, Peyton List is Tory, Martin Kove is John Kreese, Dallas Dupree Young is Kenny, Oona O’Brien is Devon, Griffin Santopietro is Anthony, and Thomas Ian Griffith plays Terry Silver.
Counterbalance Entertainment’s Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz, and Hayden Schlossberg write and executive produce. Additional executive producers include Ralph Macchio, William Zabka, Susan Ekins, and Westbrook Entertainment’s Will Smith, James Lassiter, and Caleeb Pinkett.
Cobra Kai season five arrives on September 9, 2022.
The Season 5 Plot: 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.
