One of last year’s more pleasant surprises was Cobra Kai, the revival of the classic 80s film, The Karate Kid. The continuation of the franchise came in the form of an 10 episode television series produced by YouTube Red. For those of us thta grew up in the 80s, the series came with a hearty helping of nostalgia, and allowed us to see what had become of Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence.
In my opinion Cobra Kai is easily the best content to come from YouTube Red, and it wasn’t long before the series was given a second season, which seemed inevitable considering in the popularity of the show.

That’s amazing! And I would expect a Season 3. The fans will revolt if there isn’t one after the Season 2 finale. #CobraKai https://t.co/Qo0HHsj5RO

We don’t have an exact number. We know generally what we want to do for several seasons. And we know where we want it to end. But we constantly come up with new ideas that could lead to more material before we reach the end. #CobraKai https://t.co/Esaruhv8EY

The first season of Cobra Kai showed us different sides of the characters from the films. People seen that Johnny Lawrence has the ability to not be a dick, and that Daniel LaRusso can be one. The lines between protagonist and antagonist are not so clearly drawn anymore, which can make for a much more interesting story.
