This cult film from your childhood, which experienced a second youth as a series on Netflix, not only made an appointment during a major event, but also made a big announcement.
Despite series cancellations, Netflix can boast numerous successes, such as Emily in Paris, which was renewed for a fifth season. And there are many more hits like this such as the very popular series The Bridgerton Chronicle, Squid Game and Wednesday. In 2020, the company with the red N also acquired the rights to a television show that began on… YouTube! This isn’t common, but the video streaming platform knew how to smell the right thing by offering itself Cobra Kai.
Is that cult film from your childhood back, thanks Netflix?
Cobra Kai is a Netflix series set more than 30 years after your childhood cult film, Karate Kid. Ralph Macchio (Daniel LaRusso) and William Zabka (Johnny Lawrence) also appear in the cast of this big hit. A success that will, however, end in 2025 with the broadcast of the last episodes of the sixth season. A decision not made by the SVOD service, but by the production team. “Netflix didn’t tell us it was the final season. We told them it was the last season. We always wanted to finish Cobra Kai on our own terms and are grateful for the opportunity to do so. said co-creator Jon Hurwitz at X.
But Karate Kid is not abandoned, on the contrary. After the excitement surrounding the Netflix series Cobra Kai, a new feature film starring Ralph Macchio and Jackie Chan (Mr. Han) is being released. Ahead of its presentation at New York Comic Con 2024, the film made a big announcement by revealing its official title. It must therefore now be referred to by the name Karate Kid Legends. To find out more and perhaps get a first excerpt, an appointment has been made for October 19th at 4:00 a.m. (French time). We follow a teenager, Li, who moves to Brooklyn with his mother and is introduced to martial arts thanks to an experienced mentor, who is probably Jackie Chan.
