SEASON 2 of the critically-acclaimed YouTube Original series COBRA KAI, premieres on YouTube Premium April 24, 2019. Season 2 brings fans back into the action with Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) and Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) after the shocking Season 1 cliffhanger featuring the return of John Kreese (Martin Kove). When a new rivalry between opposing dojos is born in the aftermath of Cobra Kai's controversial win at the All Valley Championships, Daniel realizes his next countermove is to open his own karate training school called Miyagi-Do, in honor of his mentor Mr. Miyagi. What was once a personal feud between Daniel and Johnny escalates beyond their differences to engulf their students, who as teenagers, are already challenged to figure out who they are and who they want to be. Which path will they follow - Cobra Kai or Miyagi-Do?
Please use spoiler tags for any major plot discussion.
There are free trials of YouTube Premium that are offered, but the show is 100% worth paying for.

I cannot wait. It will actually be available Tuesday night at 9pm PT for me. Most of the ET people will be asleep.
I just finished re-watching the season 1 finale again and I also re-watched the 1st movie on 4K UHD last week.
One of my co-workers is the brother of Hayden Schlossberg, one of the EPs and writers of this series, and he's been heavily plugging this show on his Facebook feed.
I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with Kreese.

I watched the new 4K of the original this weekend and am rewatching Season 1 as well...it holds up well on second viewing. I'm hoping they don't suffer a "sophomore slump" in Season 2.

Some reviews are here. They are positive so far: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/cobra_kai/s02
Though Sepinwall just released his review and it was mixed. It seems he saw all 10 episodes instead of just the first two like some of others did: https://www.rollingstone.com/tv/tv-r...0X282lAT3SM_ok
I can't wait regardless.

Season 2 is now up.
I’ll probably binge 3-4 episodes tonight.
The first episode literally picks up where the season 1 finale left off.
and John Kreese is still a douchebag.

Finished it up. That finale was pretty crazy.
I also wonder if they locked in a certain person for an appearance next season based on that last shot. Or maybe a recast?

Yeah, it was nuts.
I thought it would get crazy from the the sneak peak of the spiked knuckles and "No mercy line," but

Episode 6 was really good. They brought back Johnny's crew with the exception of:
It was so weird seeing how much older the guys looked compared to 1984.
and they made a callback to Karate Kid 3. I was wondering about this, but it looks like Karate Kid 1 through 3 took place over the span of 1 year even though the movies were released over 5 years. Daniel said when he joined Cobra Kai and met Terry Silver it was 1985.
One observation. The woman who plays Daniel's wife is actually old enough to be his daughter. Macchio is pushing 58 and she's 38.

Just finished the season. Holy shit that finale was pure mayhem. I can’t believe I watched all 10 in less than 24 hours.
Gosh, why couldn’t there have been 10 more episodes. I wanted more.
Big moment when:
There has to be a third season. They have so much more to cover and plus this season covered the summer and only the beginning of the school year.

I’m 100% positive this will be renewed. I think YouTube is going to give this at least 5 seasons.

Only up to episode 2 but Ralph looks so thin he looks sick and his combover / toupee combination is so distracting it takes me out of the show every time he's on camera

I wish he would've been at least nominated for an Emmy. He carries the damn show and I love watching his character arc from the film to this.
