Fun Full Trailer for Karate Kid Sequel Series Cobra Kai

It's been 34 years since we saw Daniel-san beat the Cobra Kai in Karate Kid, but now Billy Zabka and Ralph Macchio are teaming up to make a sequel series to the movie called Cobra Kai, and it actually looks a bit of fun.

Here's the official description of the show:

In the highly-anticipated return of two iconic characters, the arch-rivals from the legendary Karate Kid film series reunite over 30 years after the events of the 1984 All Valley Karate Tournament. Now living in the affluent hills of Encino, Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) leads an enviable life with his beautiful family, while running a successful string of car dealerships throughout the valley. Meanwhile, his high school adversary, Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka), whose life has taken a rocky turn, seeks redemption by reopening the infamous Cobra Kai karate dojo. Their lives inevitably become intertwined and the rivalry is reignited, setting forth the next generation of "karate kids" in COBRA KAI, a YouTube Red Original Series. COBRA KAI is produced by Overbrook Entertainment in association with Sony Pictures Television.

I love the twist that the Cobra Kai are now the lead characters and we get to watch Johnny Lawrence try to bring his life together by trying to teach a bunch of kids how to do karate. It's been said that Daniel will be having a personal stake with the return of the Cobra since Johnny will be taking Daniel's son under his wing.

The way the series looks, it seems that the show will focus equally on both the stories of Daniel and Johnny, as per making Daniel the ‘villain' this time around. Cobra Kai looks like a fun romp, and I'd love to see this new generation of karate kids come to screen.

Cobra Kai hits Youtube Red on May 2.
