Ahead of the premiere’s arrival later this month, Cobra Kai has dropped an official trailer for season 4. Scheduled to drop on Dec. 31, the new episodes of Cobra Kai have long been one of the most anticipated release dates of the year, as fans can’t wait to cap off 2021 with the hit series that only seems to get better with each season. The trailer teases plenty of what’s to come, which you can see for yourself by watching the video below.
Fans of the series have a ton to look forward to. The synopsis for season 4 reads: “Cobra Kai takes place over 30 years after the events of the 1984 All Valley Karate Tournament with the continuation of the inescapable conflict between Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) and Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka). Season 4 finds the Miyagi-Do and Eagle Fang dojos joining forces to take down Cobra Kai at the All Valley Under 18 Karate Tournament… and whoever loses must hang up their gi. As Samantha and Miguel try to maintain the dojo alliance and Robby goes all in at Cobra Kai, the fate of the Valley has never been more precarious. What tricks does Kreese have up his sleeve? Can Daniel and Johnny bury their decades-long hatchet to defeat Kreese? Or will Cobra Kai become the face of karate in the valley?”

In the first three seasons, we’ve seen different characters from the original Karate Kid movies appear. They’re back at it in season 4, having already revealed that Thomas Ian Griffith returns as Terry Silver. The antagonistic fighter, previously seen in The Karate Kid Part III, is expected to play a big part in the upcoming season. Griffith has also explained how stoked he was to revisit the role in an interview with Heavy.
“When the guys called about Cobra Kai saying they’re bringing back Terry Silver, it was like– at first it was like well, what’s Terry Silver been up to for the last 30 years. And then when they mapped out their plan it was like oh my god I can not say no to that, that sounds incredible. So I jumped on it,” Griffith said. “There’s such good, playable stuff, stuff that can be — that can get into your gut that I really responded to and that’s the journey that I went on with these guys and trusted them and so happy I did.”
The first three seasons of Sony Pictures Television’s Cobra Kai are now streaming on Netflix with season 4 premiering on December 31, 2021. Season 5 is also already in production.
