Cobra Kai season 2 trailer features return of fan-favorite character

YouTube’s Karate Kid sequel series Cobra Kai (a.k.a. No Really, It’s Actually Great) now has a season 2 trailer.

The series continues the rivalry between Ralph Macchio’s Daniel LaRusso and William Zabka’s Johnny Lawrence, while introducing a new crop of young apprentices for each of the dojo leaders. The trailer teases Daniel opening his own karate training school called Miyagi-Do (with free lessons), in honor of his mentor Mr. Miyagi.

Also on hand here: John Kreese (Martin Kove), the sinister karate master from the original 1984 film, whose return was first revealed in the final shot of the season 1 finale and is now back to cause more trouble (“finish him!”).

Cobra Kai season 2 premieres April 24 on YouTube Premium.
