If Karate is your cup of tea, ‘Cobra Kai’ is the series you must tune into. After dishing out two seasons on YouTube as part of the YouTube Red slate of original programming, the much-awaited reboot filled with comedy, drama and nostalgia will be out with the third installment sooner than expected on Netflix!

‘Cobra Kai’ takes place 30 years after the events of 1984 All Valley Karate Tournament, where a now-successful Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) struggles to maintain balance in his life without the guidance of Mr Miyagi and must face his previous adversary, down-and-out Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka), who seeks redemption by reopening the infamous Cobra Kai karate dojo. After two seasons, fans are now addicted to the gripping storyline and can't wait to witness all the action.
