Cobra Kai season 5 continues the story of frenemies Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) and Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka), who in the new episodes will need to team up with Chozen Toguchi (Yuji Okumoto), who previously appeared in The Karate Kid Part II.

They will be attempting to take down Terry Silver, who has taken over the Cobra Kai dojo and is expanding his empire, attempting to make his “No Mercy” style of karate the only game in town.

Meanwhile, John Kreese is now behind bars after Silver betrayed him at the end of last season, but we’re sure he’ll be out and causing trouble once again before long.

Cobra Kai season 5 will be available on Netflix from 9th September 2022, while seasons 1 to 4 are streaming now.
