While we got Season 3 of Cobra Kai earlier this year, it feels like it’s been far too long since the continuation of the Karate Kid released new episodes. Thankfully, the drought is coming to a close, thanks to Netflix’s Tudum event. The streaming service has revealed the first trailer for Cobra Kai Season 4 and, even better, Netflix announced that the new episodes will all drop on December 31.
The trailer, which you can watch below, is pure joy for fans of the series. As you may remember, Season 3 ended with Johnny (William Zabka) and Daniel (Ralph Macchio) joining forces to unite their respective dojos in a battle against Kreese (Martin Kove) and Cobra Kai. Now, looking forward, former foes Daniel and Johnny are finding ways to work together, even if it’s not going as smoothly as one might hope–that shouldn’t be much of a surprise, though.
The goal for them is to train their students well enough to defeat Cobra Kai at the upcoming All-Valley Karate Tournament. However, what they don’t know is if Kreese has an ace up his sleeve. Thomas Ian Griffith is reprising his role as the evil Terry Silver from Karate Kid Part III in the new season, once again coming to the aid of his longtime best friend Kreese. On Cobra Kai, a much younger version of Silver was introduced last season during the flashbacks to Kreese’s time in the Vietnam War.
Based on what we’ve seen so far, this is going to be an explosive season. Of course, it won’t be the last one. Cobra Kai has already been renewed for Season 5, which will film later this year.
Cobra Kai Season 4 premieres December 31 on Netflix.
