Cobra Kai has revealed when the comedy-drama series will return to Netflix.The new footage was shown during the streaming platform’s global livestream TUDUM event, which showcased a number of films and TV shows that are set to air on Netflix.Before the teaser was broadcast, the cast took part in a recorded segment that saw them go on a mission to get the footage “to the other side of the [Netflix] lot”.

Netflix’s “Cobra Kai” leans hard into the nostalgia of the Karate Kid movie series. The past three seasons have brought back a number of characters to the series.

**Warning spoilers ahead for the end-credits scene from “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.”** Destin Daniel Cretton‘s “Shang-Chi & The Legend of The Ten Rings” is quickly becoming a sizable pandemic-era hit for Marvel Studios and the new superhero pic has earned $320.6 million at the global box office, according to Deadline.

Marvel films have been consistently well-received by audiences and critics, but even by those high standards “Shang-Chi” is receiving remarkable acclaim.

It was the worst kept secret in Hollywood that Sony was bound to vacate Venom: Let There Be Carnage from its Oct. 15 release date, but after the enormous $90M Labor Day weekend success of Disney/Marvel’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, the Culver City lot has decided to go earlier with their own Marvel sequel on Oct. 1.
