The streaming drama finds a new home.
June 22, 2020
It was announced today that Cobra Kai will be moving from its original home on YouTube to Netflix for its upcoming third season. The development comes over a year after the dramedy was renewed for Season 3, which has already wrapped filming as of late last year.
The show's return to YouTube had come into question in the past year, as the streamer has recently been moving away from scripted fare in favor of unscripted original content. In fact, Cobra Kai was one of the last two remaining scripted series on the platform.
Acting as a follow-up to The Karate Kid film series, Cobra Kai is set 30 years after the events of the 1984 All Valley Karate Tournament. Still haunted by his past, Johnny Lawrence looks for redemption by reopening the infamous Cobra Kai karate dojo. But his old rivalry with Daniel LaRusso is reignited when their lives become intertwined with the up-and-coming generation of karate kids.
Now a Netflix original, Cobra Kai's first two seasons will also be available on its new home to stream in the near future, which will allow new fans to get caught up ahead of Season 3. As for when the third season can be expected, there is currently no timeline for a premiere.

Hopefully Netflix can come to some sort of deal with Youtube and get the first two seasons. It will be a bigger budget on Netflix, thats for sure.

@Gary as I said "most of the shows", I did not say all shows...

Nothing great but I enjoy it. I was hoping Elisabeth Shue was going to be added as a main character for season 3 but read it might just be a smaller appearance.

@Terry that’s not completely true. Lucifer moved to Netflix from Fox after it’s 3rd season. While it was supposed to end with season 5 (which has been split into 2 parts), his recent appearance on the CW Arrowverse has generated enough buzz to get the show a 6th season.
Not a lot of people wanted to sign up for yet another subscription service so this move to Netflix may be a positive one.

@Bama Don't forget that the third season has already wrapped filming while it was still under YouTube ownership...so Season 3 will likely be no different than the first 2. And as we all know, most of the shows that "move" to netflix don't go past that season...so we will be lucky to see a Season 4.

The first 2 seasons were good, but I believe Netflix can take it to the next level, looking forward to seeing where they go w/ it.

I guess I'll give it a try, now.
