[Warning: This article contains spoilers for Cobra Kai Season 4 and the Season 5 teaser.]
The fifth season of “Cobra Kai” doesn’t wait until the New Year to premiere
Cobra Kai Season 5 starts on September 9th. This breaks the tradition of the show on Netflix. Season 3, the first new season on Netflix, premiered on January 1, 2021. Season 4 then followed on December 31, so both seasons premiered on New Year’s weekend. But the momentum is too strong to wait until the 2022 holidays.

Cobra Kai Season 5 also ended production earlier than other seasons. While Season 3 was in the can when the show switched from YouTube to Netflix, Season 4 wasn’t filmed until early 2021. The show took a shorter hiatus in 2021 and concluded Cobra Kai Season 5 through December. So it’s ready to go.
Where did season 4 stop?
Like every season of cobra Kai, Season 4 ended on a cliffhanger that leaves you wanting more. It’s not as bad as the season 2 high school fight that left Miguel (Xolo Maridueña) in the hospital, but it was as exciting as Eagle Fang and Miyagi-Do’s team-up in season 3.

Tory (Peyton List) won the All Valley Karate Tournament for Cobra Kai. According to the bet made by the three dojos, Eagle Fang and Miyagi-Do must stop teaching karate. But Terry Silver (Thomas Ian Griffith) made some backroom deals to secure the win. He also orchestrated the arrest of John Kreese (Martin Kove).
Daniel (Ralph Macchio) doesn’t just accept defeat. He summoned Chozen (Yuji Okumoto) from Okinawa to join him against Cobra Kai. Meanwhile, Johnny (William Zabka) has bigger problems than karate. Miguel has gone to Mexico to look for his biological father, whom Carmen (Vanessa Rubio) reveals he doesn’t know has a son.

What will happen in Season 5 of Cobra Kai?
The teaser for Cobra Kai Season 5 answers many questions without revealing too much. Johnny travels to Mexico to find Miguel, but he doesn’t have a very good plan. But we already see Miguel in California, where he fights with Robby (Tanner Buchanan) in front of Miguel and Johnny’s apartment building. That Cobra Kai Season 5 photos show more of Robby and Johnny.
Silver awards Cobra Kai to bigger, badder mega-dojos. Daniel covers the Miyagi-Do sign with canvas, indicating at least a temporary closure. Chozen and Silver line up with Silver’s warning, “You’re playing with fire, Danny Boy.” Chozen replies, “Then I’m gas.”
A shot of Tory melancholically looking down at her trophy shows the lingering excitement she’s feeling. That Cobra Kai Season 5 photos also include one of Samantha (Mary Mouser). There are even clips of Miyagi-san (Pat Morita). Karate Kid Part IIIas Cobra Kai used alternate takes from the karate kid Movies as flashbacks. In some action clips, Johnny kicks a surfboard in half.
