The Cobra Kai Season 5 DVD Arrives September 12
The grown-upKarate KidDaniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio), along with his friends and students, finally defeated Terry Silver’s (Thomas Ian Griffith) reign of terror onCobra Kaiat the conclusion of season five. And while the show will hang up its gis after season six, the series' creators couldn’t be more proud of the work done to expandThe Karate Kidmythology on streaming.
Heald, Hurwitz and Schlossberg said in the same statement:
“Reacquainting the world with the Karate Kid universe has been our humble honor. Making Cobra Kai has allowed us to join the same hallowed dojo once inhabited by the great Robert Mark Kamen, John Avildsen, Jerry Weintraub, and all the amazing original cast members. It has also enabled us to play sensei, expanding the original storylines and birthing a new generation of underdogs. We’ve never once taken this opportunity for granted.”
As Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) so eloquently says, the final season ofCobra Kaicould be the most “badass” yet. Kreese (Martin Kove) escaped after faking his death in the final scene of episode 10, and Silver has been arrested.The Karate Kid Part III’sfreakishly powerful Mike Barnes (Sean Kanan) officially joined the cast, and Chozen’s (Yuji Okumoto) love for Kumiko (Tamlyn Tomita) was finally revealed to both Johnny and Daniel.
The cast and crew had just assembled for a table read before the Writers Guild of America (WGA) strike began. And now, with the ongoing Screen Actors Guild – American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) protest,fans ofCobra Kaiwill have to wait indefinitelyto see the final episodes of the series.
Cobra Kaiarrives on DVD September 12. And for those who can’t wait, all five seasons are currently available to stream on Netflix. Check out footagefrom the season six table readbelow:
