New details and casting information has been revealed about YouTube's Karate Kid sequel series, Cobra Kai.
Entertainment Weekly reports that Cobra Kai will star Xolo Mariduena, Mary Mouser, Tanner Buchanan, Courtney Henggeler and guest-star TV legend Ed Asner.
While we already knew the series would take place thirty years after the movie, more details about the plot have been revealed. Daniel, the protagonist from the original, is a family man running a successful car dealership while Johnny has degraded into a drunk, unemployed antihero. The two meet causing Johnny to reopen the infamous karate dojo when their rivalry is rekindled.
In August we learned that Ralph Macchio and William Zabka will be reprising their roles as Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence from 1984's Karate Kid.
Daniel's business partner, wife, and stabilizing force Amanda will be played by Henggeler and Mouser plays his teenaged daughter Samantha.
Mariduena will take up the role of Migues Diaz who is tutored by a Cobra Kai master after being bullied in school, and Buchanan plays Johnny's son who's trying to avoid the same fate as his father.
Seven-time Primetime Emmy award winner Ed Asner appears as Johnny's old-school, former studio mogul stepfather who is fed up with his stepson's antics.
Cobrai Kai is set for 10 episodes and is slated to release in 2018 on YouTube Red.
