Two new cast members, Dallas Dupree Young and Oona O’Brien, will be joining Cobra Kai’s season four though their roles haven’t been revealed.
The last time we saw Johnny and Daniel, they united their dojos and students to fight against their common foe, Kreese. As for Kreese, we last saw him making a call to an anonymous person for some reinforcements. Could it be Terry Silver (Thomas Ian Griffith) from The Karate Kid Part 3? If so, will Silver bring his old student, Mike Barnes (Sean Kanan)? We’ll soon find out.
Cobra Kai season 4 is shaping up to be more epic and we’ll see who brings no mercy once the All Valley tournament starts.
