The makers of Cobra Kai have shared exclusive trailer for the Karate Kid sequel series, named after the infamous karate dojo.

“I just don’t know why you’d ever want to bring back Cobra Kai,” Ralph Macchio’s Daniel LaRusso tells his former high school bully, William Zabka’s Johnny Lawrence.

After nearly 34 years since fans saw these two face off at the All Valley Karate Tournament in 1984’s The Karate Kid. They got together again on screen two years later with The Karate Kid Part II, and now Johnny is looking for redemption.

Johnny faces troubles, the first Cobra Kai teaser features flashes of him reopening his old dojo stomping grounds. That is not acceptable to Daniel, who has since been leading a comfortable life as a family man and successful car dealer.

“We are not trained to be merciful here. Mercy is for the weak,” Johnny tells his new pupils in the video. So, maybe he hasn’t really learned his lesson.

Cobra Kai will feature Xolo Maridueña (Parenthood) as Miguel Diaz, a victim of high school bullies who’s taken under Johnny’s wing; Tanner Buchanan (Designated Survivor) as Johnny’s son, Robby Keene, who is sure to prove himself to be different from his father; and guest-star Ed Asner as Johnny’s old-school stepfather, Sid Weinberg.

Courtney Henggeler (Mom) is all set to be seen in the role of Daniel’s wife and business partner, Amanda, while Mary Mouser (Freakish) plays their firecracker daughter, Samantha.

Josh Heald (Hot Tub Time Machine) wrote this new story for Cobra Kai with Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg (Harold & Kumar). They will executive produce the series with Susan Ekins, Will Smith, James Lassiter, and Caleeb Pinkett.

Hurwitz and Schlossberg is going to direct much of Cobra Kai, which will debut later this year on YouTube Red.
