Be prepared to sand the floor, paint the fence, wax on-wax off and paint the house in glorious 4K. The Karate Kid is already a timeless classic, but Cobra Kai gave the property a surprisingly well-executed extension of Daniel Larusso and Johnny Lawrence’s world. The 1984 film that served as an introduction to the martial art for an entire generation will be celebrating its 40th anniversary this year. And Sony is shouting “Bansai!” with a new 4K restoration Blu-ray release of the Ralph Macchio-Pat Morita film.

Cobra Kai season 6 will expand the Karate Kid universe "more than the previous 5 seasons combined," promising exciting new developments. Predictions suggest that characters from the 2010 Karate Kid remake could be vital to Cobra Kai Season 6, tying them both together. The final season of Cobra Kai might set up the next Karate Kid movie, creating a seamless transition between the TV series and the upcoming film.
Little is known about the Cobra Kai season 6 story, but a recent tweet from co-creator Jon Hurwitz suggests that some very specific developments could unfold in the show's final season. While the show exists as its own property, it's built on the shoulders of the Karate Kid franchise, existing within the same universe and continuing the story from the original movies. The Cobra Kai season 6 cast is already set to be bursting at the seams with new and old faces to bid the spinoff show farewell,...

Cobra Kai season 6 will expand the Miyagiverse, setting up new spinoffs for the franchise's future beyond the original characters. The final season may shift focus from Johnny Lawrence, potentially neglecting his story in favor of world-building and new opportunities. The exciting world-building in season 6 could hinder Johnny Lawrence's resolution, as the show may prioritize expanding the Karate Kid universe.
The creators of Cobra Kai have given an exciting update about season 6, but it could be bad news for the conclusion of Johnny Lawrence's story. The Karate Kid spinoff has centered around the old teenage villain, but in the show's five seasons, several other characters from the movie franchise have also been explored. Going into Cobra Kai's sixth and final season, it can be assumed that the story will circle back around to bring Johnny some resolution—but that may be difficult if season 6 focuses too much on expanding the Karate Kid universe.

The number of actors the Netflix TV series Cobra Kai has brought back to reprise their characters from the Karate Kid films has been very impressive. Not only do you have Ralph Macchio and William Zabka back as Daniel Larusso and Johnny Lawrence, but there’s also Martin Kove and Thomas Ian Griffith as villains John Kreese and Terry Silver, Yuji Okumoto and Sean Kanan as villains-turned-allies Chozen Toguchi and Mike Barnes; Ron Thomas, Rob Garrison, and Tony O’Dell as Johnny’s former Cobra Kai buddies; and appearances by Elisabeth Shue as Ali Mills, Tamlyn Tomita as Kumiko, and Robyn Lively as Jessica Andrews. They even brought Traci Toguchi back as Yuna, the “Girl Bell Ringer” she played in The Karate Kid Part II. But one actor who might not be returning from the films is Hilary Swank, who played Julie Pierce in the 1994 film The Next Karate Kid.

He reluctantly got dragged along on Ferris’ epic adventure, stealing his dad’s Ferrari and causing delightful mayhem throughout Chicago.

The Ferris Bueller's Day Off spinoff, Sam & Victor's Day Off, is in development and has great talent involved. The spinoff avoids the mistake of a remake or direct sequel and offers a fresh and unique perspective on the original story. Sam & Victor's Day Off has connections to the original movie but is set to be its own thing, likely to succeed as a spinoff.
Ferris Bueller’s Day Off is officially getting a spinoff, and while it might sound like a weird decision, it looks to be on its way to success. John Hughes was responsible for some of the most popular and memorable teen comedies from the 1980s, among them Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. Released in 1986 and written and directed by Hughes, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off became a critical and commercial success, with praise going towards the performance of Matthew Broderick as the title character, the story, its sense of humor,...

Fans shouldn't place their bets on Hilary Swank returning as Julie Pierce in Cobra Kai.
In the first five seasons of Cobra Kai, various stars of the original Karate Kid movies have returned with the original actors reprising their roles. However, one familiar face that has not been seen in the Karate Kid sequel series is Hilary Swank, who played the final protégé of Mr. Miyagi (Pat Morita) in 1994's The Next Karate Kid. Three decades later, Swank still has yet to appear on Cobra Kai, even with some previous teasing from the show's creators. Sharing an update on her potential cameo with Collider, Swank shared how she didn't expect to be involved with Cobra Kai Season 6, going on to note how she gets asked about the possibility frequently.

Chozen's appearance in the behind-the-scenes photo suggests he will remain involved in the dojo in Cobra Kai season 6. A theory that Chozen will become Tory's sensei gains credibility due to her presence in the photo alongside the rest of the cast. Chozen's history and fighting style make him an ideal mentor for Tory, as they both struggle with anger and aggressive tendencies.
The most interesting theory regarding Chozen Toguchi's place in Cobra Kai season 6 was made even more likely by newly revealed details about the story.

There will be no second season of Obliterated as Netflix has canceled the action comedy series after just one season.
Obliterated follows a special forces team assembled to stop a deadly terrorist network from blowing up Las Vegas. After completing their mission, they celebrate with a night on the town, filled with sex, drugs, and booze, only to discover that the nuclear bomb they neutralized was fake. They must fight off their hangovers to find the real bomb and save the city for real. The series was created by Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg, and Josh Heald, best known for Netflix’s Cobra Kai series.
Considering that Obliterated spent six weeks on Netflix’s Top 10 for English-language series following its debut last November, the cancelation comes as something of a surprise, but streaming services have been much more frugal lately.

Netflix has cancelled the action comedy series Obliterated after one season. The show followed an elite military team trying to stop a terrorist plot in Las Vegas while dealing with the aftermath of a wild night of partying. Obliterated was created by the team behind the Netflix hit Cobra Kai.
Obliterated will not be moving forward at Netflix. The show was an action comedy from Cobra Kai co-creators Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg, and Josh Heald. It followed a joint special-operations team whose booze-fueled celebration of the end of a mission turns out to be premature, forcing them to try and neutralize a nuclear bomb in Las Vegas despite being intensely intoxicated. The ensemble cast included Shelley Hennig, Nick Zano, Terrence Terrell, Paola Lázaro, C. Thomas Howell, Kimi Rutledge, Alyson Gorske, and Eugene Kim.
Per TVLine, Netflix has determined that they are not moving forward with Obliterated season 2, cancelling the show.

The new Karate Kid movie may need to acknowledge the events of Cobra Kai season 6 to maintain continuity and not confuse audiences. Ignoring Daniel Larusso's character development and storylines from Cobra Kai would be a mistake for the new film. How the new Karate Kid movie ties into Cobra Kai may play a crucial role in its success, and it should neither be a mere extension of the show nor ignore its existence.
Cobra Kai is ending with season 6, and whatever happens to Daniel Larusso during the show’s finale could create some tricky challenges for the new Karate Kid film Although it was easy to predict that the Karate Kid saga would continue after Cobra Kai, the announcement of a 2024 Karate Kid movie starring Ralph Macchio and Jackie Chan was surprising.

The lack of involvement from Cobra Kai's creators in the new Karate Kid movie suggests a change in direction that may disappoint fans. The new movie may struggle to win over Cobra Kai audiences if it casts aside the elements that viewers loved about the series. Despite the concerns, there is still a chance for the new Karate Kid movie to be successful by reimagining and reworking the source material to create a new story.
While a new update on the upcoming The Karate Kid movie may disappoint Cobra Kai fans, the development isn't actually as disastrous as it may seem. Clearly, both the Karate Kid and Cobra Kai franchises are deeply connected. After the lukewarm reception to the 2010 Jaden Smith reboot, Cobra Kai has expertly used legacy Karate Kid characters to craft a future for the story on the small screen.

Rumors of a fifth American Pie movie have persisted since 2012, with the potential for a storyline centered around Jim's dad and Stifler's mom. Jennifer Coolidge's recent comeback, thanks to her role in The White Lotus, makes a Stifler's mom story in American Pie 5 even more appealing.
American Pie 5 has been rumored to be in development for years, and the best idea for it is now perfect thanks to the big comeback of one of its cast members. In 1999, the sex comedy American Pie made way for one of the most controversial yet profitable franchises in the comedy genre. American Pie introduced viewers to Jim Levenstein (Jason Biggs), an awkward high school senior who made a pact with his friends to lose their virginity by high school graduation. American Pie’s success made way for a franchise with spin-offs and three sequels, the latter continuing Jim’s story.

The screenwriter of American Reunion teases a possible storyline for American Pie 5. The potential storyline would explore whether or not the romantic relationship between Jim's dad and Stifler's mom worked out. No American Pie 5 is currently in the works, though a sixth spinoff is in development.
A possible storyline for American Pie 5 has been teased by a screenwriter of American Reunion. The American Pie movies, which began in 1999, form a teen sex comedy franchise that follows the lives of best friends Jim (Jason Biggs), Kevin (Thomas Ian Nicholas), Finch (Eddie Kaye Thomas), and Oz (Chris Klein), as well as their crude, hard-partying acquaintance Stifler (Seann William Scott) and their various love interests. Although five direct-to-dvd spinoffs were also made, the main branch of the franchise includes just four movies: the original, 2001's American Pie 2, 2003's American Wedding, and 2012's American Reunion.
