No release date has been offered for Cobra Kai Season 3, however, but previous reports have suggested filming it back in 2019. The first two seasons will air later this year on Netflix, according to THR. We’d be surprised not to see a third season later this year or early 2021.
Cobra Kai is a sequel to the Karate Kid films, featuring original actors Ralph Machio and William Zabka, who reprise their roles from popular films. Frankly, not calling it ‘Karate Dads’ was a wrong opportunity.
