The return of the stars of the original franchise has become a staple of the series, with several well-known names from the past bringing their roles in the series back to life, such as Randee Heller, as Lucille LaRusso, and Yuji Okumoto as Chozen Toguchi. .
On the other hand, the series also has a cast of new faces, which include the likes of Tanner Buchanan, Xolo Maridueña, Mary Mouser, Courtney Henggeler, Jacob Bertrand, Peyton List and Vanessa Rubio.
The series initially came as a YouTube Premium original production in 2018, but was eventually acquired by Netflix in 2020 when YouTube stopped producing scripted original content.
The fifth season of “Cobra Kai” will debut on Netflix on September 9th.
