Just like Daniel LaRusso's illegal kick to Johnny Lawrence's head at the end of the very first Karate Kid movie, Netflix came out of nowhere to drop news about Cobra Kai.

Don't worry. It's not getting canceled. Instead, Cobra Kai's fifth season just got its first trailer and release date.

According to the nearly two-minute-long trailer for Cobra Kai Season 5, the latest season of Netflix's karate flick is just a few months away. After Netflix released the last two seasons of Cobra Kai during Christmas and the New Year, the next season is set to hit the streaming platform on September 9, 2022. This is at least three months sooner than expected, hinting that the sixth season will arrive in early 2023.

Perhaps this is the effect of Netflix's dwindling subscriber numbers. You can't blame Netflix for wanting people to keep on subscribing by reminding them that the platform is not all about canceling good shows like what it did with Space Force.
