‘Ferris Bueller’s Day Off’ Spinoff in the Works With ‘Cobra Kai’ Creators at Paramount

Jordan Moreau Less than a year after “Cobra Kai” Season 4 hit Netflix, the karate series is already back and aiming to outdo the crazy, kung-fu action of the 51st All Valley Tournament. In the two-part Season 4 finale, Hawk (Jacob Bertrand) defeated Robby (Tanner Buchanan) to win the boys tournament for Miyagi-Do, but Cobra Kai walked away the ultimate winner after Tory (Peyton List) beat Sam (Mary Mouser). However, Tory later realizes her victory was rigged after she sees Terry Silver (Thomas Ian Griffith) bribe the referee. Meanwhile, Miguel (Xolo Maridueña) runs away to Mexico to find his father, and Terry frames Kreese (Martin Kove), landing him in jail for a crime Terry committed.

is almost here! Ahead of the series’ return to Netflix on Friday, longtime franchise stars Ralph Macchio and William Zabka sat down with ET’s Kevin Frazier to reflect on the success of the Emmy-nominated series and what late star Noriyuki “Pat” Morita would think of it today. “I think he would love it,” Macchio says, referring to the actor who played Mr. Miyagi in the original films before his death in 2005 at the age of 73, before Zabka adds that “he’s watching it from somewhere.” “It’s a blessing that this thing has been kissed with such great luck and positive impact,” Macchio continues.

has teased, the battle for the soul of the Valley may be over, but the war is just beginning. And when the Emmy-nominated series returns with season 5, audiences will finally get to see how Terry Silver (Thomas Ian Griffith) plans to expand his empire and make his “No Mercy” style of karate the only way of fighting. In doing so, he recruits Kim Da-Eun, played by Alicia Hannah-Kim.

“You’ve guys got nothing to worry about; I’m a professional.” OK, this is weird, and it’s only coming to me now. On August 7, 2008, I casually pitched and proposed a spin-off film idea in a blog article titled, The Brief Cameo That Begat An Entire Film: Our Take ‘Ferris Bueller’s Day Off’, back in the day when I regularly just blathered about random things rather than strictly wrote news.

“Cobra Kai” is doing damage and kicking back.

Cobra Kai is coming back!

Michaela Zee editor“Cobra Kai” is stirring up some action in the dojo once again as Netflix releases the first official trailer for Season 5.Following last season’s All Valley Karate Tournament, Season 5 reveals that Terry Silver — who now has complete control of Cobra Kai — is planning to expand the dojo across the San Fernando Valley. If Terry goes unchecked, he and his Cobra Kai teachers will spread their form of brutal karate like wildfire.

The best defense is offense. It has been almost four decades since Mr. Miyagi famously taught Daniel LaRusso how to paint a fence and wash a car in The Karate Kid, but Cobra Kai’s rivaling dojos are still going strong.

The new season of “Cobra Kai” is getting ready to kick off.

J. Kim Murphy Netflix is pulling back the curtain on the fifth season of “Cobra Kai,” releasing a batch of first-look images for the “Karate Kid” sequel series’ new episodes.The new material provides “Cobra Kai” fans a hint of the events of the upcoming season, which will see Cobra Kai plan to expand its dojo across the San Fernando Valley, under the total control of Terry Silver (Thomas Ian Griffith).
