Netflix has just dropped the latest teaser for “Cobra Kai” season 4 during their Tudum fan event. It’s incredible to see how the popularity and power of nostalgia like “Karate Kid” hasn’t waned. If anything “Cobra Kai” has shown us that there is still a desire to see these characters and be enveloped in their karate drama. And as you will see, the stakes couldn’t be any higher as former rivals Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) and Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) unite their respective dojos to fight for the soul of All-Valley.
Here’s the official plot synopsis for season 4:

Season 4 finds the Miyagi-Do and Eagle Fang dojos joining forces to take down Cobra Kai at the All Valley Under 18 Karate Tournament… and whoever loses must hang up their gi. As Samantha and Miguel try to maintain the dojo alliance and Robby goes all in at Cobra Kai, the fate of the Valley has never been more precarious. What tricks does Kreese have up his sleeve?
