Cobra Kai Season Five

Get ready for even more “Cobra Kai.” Season five of the hit series, based on the “Karate Kid” film franchise, is almost here.

The show — which stars Ralph Macchio, William Zabka, Xolo Maridueña, Tanner Buchanan, and more — has become a huge hit in its first four seasons. It has been nominated for eight Emmys over the years, including outstanding comedy series in 2021. Season four premiered in December 2021, and the fifth season was announced prior to the fourth installment’s release.
