The battle for the soul of the Valley rages on. Which meansCobra Kaiis back!
Netflix surprised fans at the Cobra Kai: Live & Bad Ass event in Los Angeles with a sneak peek of season 5 — and revealed its Sept. 9 premiere date.
As noted in the season 5 logline, Terry Silver (Thomas Ian Griffith) “is expanding the Cobra Kai empire” around the Encino area “following the shocking results of the All Valley Tournament” at the end of season 4 (which debuted on Netflix on Dec. 31, 2021).
But “with [John] Kreese (Martin Kove) behind bars and Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) setting karate aside to focus on repairing the damage he’s caused,” Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) looks for help from an old rival and friend — Chozen Toguchi (Yuji Okumoto), who appeared in season 3 as well as the season 4 finale.
“I know first-hand that Silver isn’t afraid of putting kids in harm’s way,” Daniel later says in a voiceover, “and that’s why I have to take him down.”

But Silver doesn’t show any signs of bending to his competition. In the next scene, he quietly warns Daniel, “You’re playing with fire,” before Chozen steps in and boldly whispers, “And I am gasoline!”
“How could you take me down to Mexico and not tell me what we were coming to get?” he asks. “Do you even have a plan?”

Of course, aCobra Kaitrailer wouldn’t be complete without a few epic training and fight sequences.
“There’s only one way to end this: You have to cut the head off the snake,” Daniel says, to which Johnny replies, “Badass!”
However, Silver gets the final word in the trailer, whispering sinisterly in a steamy room, “I told you not to play with fire.”
Also appearing in the trailer are series regulars Courtney Henggeler (Amanda LaRusso), Peyton List (Tory Nichols) and Jacob Bertrand (Hawk).
The first four seasons ofCobra Kaiare now streaming on Netflix. Season 5 drops on Sept. 9.
