More Plot Details About The New Karate Kid Series

Cobra Kai (named after the dojo where Johnny Lawrence first learned the ways of karate from his slimy sensei Kreese) will reportedly pick up the story of Daniel LaRusso as a successful businessman and family man decades removed from his days as a karate kid. Unlike Daniel, Johnny’s life has not gone in a particularly positive direction, and when we pick up his story, he’s cleaning septic tanks and occasionally being mistaken for a homeless person. Johnny’s big dream is to bring back the Cobra Kai school (the poor guy apparently peaked before his 20s), but his only student is a store clerk named Miguel who, like Daniel before him, is being tormented by bullies.
​
Daniel and Johnny re-enter each other’s lives due to one of those wild twists of fate that can only happen in works of fiction: It turns out Miguel’s tormentor is a wrestler named Kyler who happens to also be dating Daniel’s daughter Samantha. This can take us in one of two directions: Either Daniel turns out to be the villain of the piece, a real twist indeed, or he remembers his own past as a bullied kid and joins up with his old enemy Johnny to bring the Cobra Kai school back to life.
