FIRST LOOK

‘Cobra Kai’ Comes in

Kicking with These New
Season 5 Photos
Billy Zabka and Ralph Macchio are back, baby.

By John DiLillo Aug 9, 2022

Get ready to perfect your crane kick

because Cobra Kai Season 5 is
almost here, and the stakes are higher
than ever: Old friends and enemies
are joining the crew at Miyagi-Do for
a showdown decades in the making. 

3 / 12

Johnny Lawrence (Billy Zabka) and Robby

Keene (Tanner Buchanan) celebrate a victory.

At the end of Season 4, Karate Kid

Part III baddie Terry Silver (Thomas
Ian Griffith) took control of the Cobra
Kai dojo and turned it into a massive
(and soulless) franchise. With Johnny
Lawrence (Billy Zabka) putting karate
aside, Daniel LaRusso (Ralph
Macchio) is going to need to bring in
the big guns to take down Silver and
his brutal no-mercy style of karate.
That means turning to another
erstwhile frenemy: Chozen Toguchi
(Yuji Okumoto), Daniel’s rival in The
Karate Kid Part II. Also returning?
Sean Kanan as Mike Barnes,
another Karate Kid Part III antagonist.
It remains to be seen how he’ll enter
the fray.

“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,”
showrunners Josh Heald, Jon
Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg tell
Netflix.

In new first-look photos of Season 5,

we get an early peak at this new
challenge — and the plentiful training
montages it will take to sweep the leg
and finally finish off Silver once and
for all. 

Stay tuned: Cobra Kai Season 5 hits

Netflix Sept. 9. And for even more
wax-on, wax-off goodness, take a
look at the teaser below.
