Cobra Kai Season 3: Cobra Kai has performed much better than we expected. This continued the apathy of The Karate Kid movies and, in the process, created new young characters. The show has several elements, including a love triangle, but the first season ends with Miguel winning the All-Valley Karate Championship. The second season ended when Dojo and Johnny’s careers were affected as an accident. The story has made its way to continue during the third season.
Cobra Kai is an American action comedy-drama web television series, presented in an episodic storytelling format, and based on The Karate Kid film series. It was created by Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg, and Josh Heald, and stars Ralph Macchio and William Zabka (both of whom are reprising their roles from The Karate Kid, and who also serve as co-executive producers of the series) along with Xolo Maridueña, Courtney Henggeler, Tanner Buchanan, and Mary Mouser.
Cobra Kai is set 34 years after the original Karate Kid film and re-examines the narrative from Johnny Lawrence’s point of view (placing it within the “minor-character elaboration” genre). His decision to reopen the Cobra Kai karate dojo leads to the rekindling of his old rivalry with Daniel LaRusso.
The series was launched on YouTube Red (now YouTube Premium), which ran seasons one and two from 2018 to 2019. In 2020, Netflix acquired the first two seasons (which will be released on August 28, 2020), and will release season three at “a date to be determined.”
Release Date:
Cobra Kai Season 3 will launch on YouTube Red in the Spring of 2020. The renewal of the show has been confirmed, and we will see the third season in 2020. The exact date is not yet known, but reports say it will be around the Spring in 2020. The second season came out on April 24, 2019, so we can also expect a similar schedule pattern for Season 3.
Storyline:
The second season saw Cobra Kai and Miyagi-do Dojos students participate in the war. Daniel and Johnny realize their failures, and Daniel’s wife wants no more karate in their lives. It will be interesting to see if the rivals can keep their war separate and unite with each other. We will learn more about the origins of Miyagi and Cobra Kai and accept their martial arts.
Thirty-four years after his defeat in the 1984 All-Valley Karate Tournament, Johnny Lawrence, now in his 50s, works in construction and lives in an apartment in Reseda, Los Angeles, having fallen far from the wealthy lifestyle in Encino that had been enabled by his verbally abusive step-father, Sid Weinberg. He has a son, Robby Keene, with ex-girlfriend Shannon Keene, but he abandoned them both the day Robby was born after Johnny’s mother Laura died the same day. Johnny, self-admittedly, has never recovered from the breakup with his high school girlfriend, Ali Mills.
After losing his job, a down-and-out Johnny rescues his teenage neighbor Miguel Diaz from a gang of bullies using karate. Miguel, an asthmatic raised by his Ecuadorian single mother Carmen, asks Johnny to teach him. Initially reluctant, Johnny finally agrees and decides to reopen the Cobra Kai karate dojo as a chance to recapture his past; however, this act reawakens his rivalry with Daniel LaRusso. Daniel, now the owner of a highly successful car dealership, is married to Amanda and has two children: Samantha and Anthony.
Finally living the wealthy lifestyle he envied as a child when he lived in Reseda, but after his friend and mentor Mr. Miyagi died, his struggle to meaningfully connect with his children has disrupted the balance in his life. Meanwhile, his mother Lucille, his other source of support, has a complicated relationship with his wife Amanda.
Johnny’s dojo attracts a group of bullied social outcasts who find camaraderie and self-confidence under his tutelage, a marked contrast to the kind of students Tommy, Bobby, Dutch, Jimmy, and Johnny were when training in the original Cobra Kai run by John Kreese. Johnny develops a bond with his first and best student, Miguel, in a manner that resembles the relationship between Daniel and Mr. Miyagi.
Cobra Kai’s philosophy, however, remains mostly unchanged, though Johnny tries very hard to infuse it with more honor than Kreese did. Thus, Miguel develops into a very different kind of student than Daniel, or even Johnny, was; he also begins dating Samantha.
As a means of revenge against his estranged father, Robby convinces Amanda to hire him for a position at the LaRusso Auto dealership and develops a close friendship with Daniel (although Daniel is unaware of Robby’s lineage). He even studies Mr. Miyagi’s form of Karate with Daniel and becomes friendly with Samantha. She eventually joins her father’s dojo, which ultimately leads to her breaking up with Miguel. Miguel later begins dating another Cobra Kai student, Tory who is Sam’s rival.
The developing story revolves around these primary relationships, which lead to conflicts that are ultimately the product of Daniel and Johnny’s inability to move away from the past.
