There’s a chance that Hilary Swank might reprise her role as Julia Pierce in Cobra Kai.

The writers on the series, which is a continuation of the rivalry and friendship between Ralph Macchio‘s Daniel LaRusso and William Zabka‘s Johnny Lawrence, opened up about the chances of Hilary‘s Next Karate Kid character popping up on the Netflix series.

“We always say that our show takes place in the Miyagi-verse…in our minds, any story in which Mr. Miyagi was a character, with Pat Morita playing Mr. Miyagi I should say, is canon to our world,” co-creator Jon Hurwitz shared with CinemaBlend. “The Next Karate Kid is a part of our universe.”

He added, “We believe that the events of that movie happened…In terms of that movie, it has its pluses and minuses. One of the things that’s really special about it is it’s very early work for Hilary Swank and she’s gone on to be one of the great actors in Hollywood.”

“Her performance is great in that movie and her chemistry with Pat Morita is fantastic.”

Jon adds that Hilary‘s character is one of the many characters that they talk about in the writer’s room.

“So it’s obvious that we’ve spoken about Julie Pierce,” he shared. “As to whether or not she’ll return to the series, that’s something you’ll just have to wait to find out.”

Cobra Kai, seasons one, and two, are streaming now on Netflix. Season three is set to debut in January.

Netflix has announced the release date of Cobra Kai season three and the streaming service has also revealed that a fourth season has been ordered!

The first two seasons of the show originally premiered on YouTube Premium, but then Netflix acquired the show and it became a massive hit on there.

Season three will now premiere on Netflix on January 8, 2021.

Cobra Kai takes place 30 years after the events of the 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.

The Karate Kid, The Karate Kid Part II and The Karate Kid Part III are also streaming on Netflix, too.

While Cobra Kai was really lucky to get picked up by Netflix, this other show was just cancelled! Find out why here…

TV show Cobra Kai is leaving YouTube Premium and heading to Netflix ahead of the show’s third season premiere.

“The appeal of ‘The Karate Kid’ saga is timeless, and ‘Cobra Kai’ picks up right where it left off without missing a beat,” Brian Wright, vice president of original series at Netflix, said in a statement (via Variety). “The rivalry between Daniel and Johnny is one for the ages, and the show has a ton of heart and is a lot of fun. We can’t wait to introduce a new generation of fans to Cobra Kai and are thrilled to be its new home around the world.”

The show is a continuation of the Karate Kid film franchise, with Ralph Macchio and William Zabka reprising their roles as Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawren. Xolo Maridueña, Courtney Henggeler, Tanner Buchanan, Mary Mouser, Nicole Brown, and Jacob Bertrand also star.

The first season of the show earned a 100% critical approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes!

Some shows are not as lucky as Cobra Kai – find out what Netflix has cancelled this year so far.

Cobra Kai is coming!

The upcoming Karate Kid sequel series, named after the karate dojo, just unveiled a teaser trailer on Thursday (February 15).

“I just don’t know why you’d ever want to bring back Cobra Kai,” Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) tells former high school bully, Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) 34 years after their first face-off in the 1984 original.

“We are not trained to be merciful here. Mercy is for the weak,” Johnny instructs his new students.

Cobra Kai also co-stars Xolo Maridueña, Tanner Buchanan, Courtney Henggeler, Mary Mouser and Ed Asner.

The series will debut later this year on YouTube Red.
