And while the final episode left fans with lots of questions, there's one thing the internet really wants to know: Will there be a Cobra Kai season five?
Here's everything we know so far, from release date to trailer to potential storylines. Eek!
Is there a Cobra Kai season five trailer yet?
As of mid-August 2022, yes! The first trailer for the next season of Cobra Kai dropped, and wow there's a lot going on. As well as Daniel and Johnny finally putting the past behind them, a post-credits scene also seems to confirm Kreese is back, though fans are left in the dark about which side he's going to be on.
Then there's the drama between Robbie and Miguel, and Miyagi-do and Eagle Fang's hopes of overthrowing the new Cobra Kai. Told you it was a lot.
When was Cobra Kai season five confirmed?
Netflix announced a fifth season would be happening way back in August 2021 - a whole four months before season four dropped on 31 December 2021.
Not only that, but filming was tied up before, too! Martin Kove, who plays Kreese, confirmed things had been tied up by 19 December, writing on Instagram, "S5. Finished. My humbled gratitude to all. Every day. No mercy. All day. 👊🏻🐍🔥 rewatch S1-3 before S4 on December 31st happy holidays, make it count! Love you all."
When will Cobra Kai season five be released?
Amazingly, Cobra Kai season five is coming eight months after season four! Netflix have confirmed 9th September 2022 as the release date, which is sooner than many fans hoped.
Thanks to the fact last two series have been released on or around the start of a new year, fans assumed season five would be released in December 2022 / January 2023. The third season of Cobra Kai was released on 1 January 2021, and consisted of 10 episodes, while the fourth season was released on 31 December 2021, and consisted of eight episodes.
What happened at the end of Cobra Kai season four?
Spoilers! Season four of Cobra Kai saw the battle between Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio), Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka), John Kreese (Martin Kove), and Terry Silver (Thomas Ian Griffith) come to a head at the All Valley Under 18 Karate Tournament. Johnny and Daniel’s 37-year rivalry proved too difficult to overcome, even to take down bully sensei Kreese, while Tory (Peyton List) managed to defeat Samantha (Mary Mouser) to win the first-ever Girls' All Valley Championship.
After Terry double-crossed Kreese, resulting in his arrest, fans are wondering whether he is now the biggest threat. Plus Miyagi-Do is in a tricky position, after a bet at the All-Valley tournament means he is no longer a functioning dojo. And what about Miguel, who ran away to Mexico in an attempt to find his father? So many questions!
Who will star in Cobra Kai season five?
We can assume Ralph Macchio and William Zabka will reprise their roles as Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence, while Martin Kove will likely return as John Kreese and Thomas Ian Griffith as Terry Silver.
Fans hope Yuji Okumoto could also return as Chozen Toguchi after appearing as the iconic character in the season four finale, along with Tanner Buchanan (Robby), Peyton List (Tory), Joe Seo (Kyler), Sam (Mary Mouser), Eli/Hawk (Jacob Bertrand) and Demetri (Gianni DeCenzo) as well as recent additions such as Dallas Dupree Young (Kenny).
