Cobra Kai creators are contemplating a Mr. Miyagi prequel collection, however not till the principle collection has wrapped up.
The primary a part of the sixth and ultimate season of Cobra Kai debuted only a few weeks in the past, placing the grand finale in movement. Nonetheless, even when the collection does come to a detailed, Cobra Kai creators Hayden Schlossberg, Josh Heald and Jon Hurwitz have been entertaining the thought of extra spinoffs, together with a prequel collection centered on Mr. Miyagi.
“I would say that we definitely want to do [a Mr. Miyagi series] and have been talking about that,” Schlossberg advised THR. “But the focus has been on Cobra Kai. As we’re finishing that up, we’ll see exactly what path we take in terms of spinoffs, but it is definitely something that we’ve been wanting to do. It’s just that we want to wait until we get finished with Cobra Kai first before we get into that.” Whereas it doesn’t sound like a Miyagi prequel is formally within the playing cards in the intervening time, it does seem like one thing the artistic workforce is contemplating.
Different Cobra Kai spinoffs have been thought of, however the Miyagi prequel appears to be the plain alternative, particularly contemplating that the present season of Cobra Kai has been teasing a darkish backstory for the character. “We think about spinoffs with Cobra Kai all the time. Cobra Kai itself is, in a way, a spinoff of The Karate Kid. We took the bully from The Karate Kid, we took that branch and created our own tree out of it, and we feel like we could do that with any of the characters on the show,” Schlossberg mentioned. “We undoubtedly considered that as we’re tying issues up with all of the characters. We take into consideration the enjoyable of following them of their futures and in, addition, we take into consideration the previous. It is likely one of the explanation why we did the Miyagi field story this season.“
Schlossberg continued: “It opens up allthese questions on Mr. Miyagi and what his life was like, and that’s been one thing we’ve been eager to do for some time. We’ve talked to Robert Mark Kamen, the author of the unique Karate Child who primarily based this entire film off his sensei who studied Okinawan karate; we’ve been speaking about all this Miyagi backstory with him, which helped us with season six stuff. Now that we’re performed, we are able to really begin entering into these things. We’ve simply been centered on Cobra Kai and ending it off. And proper now, we’re within the strategy of enhancing the final couple episodes. As soon as that’s performed, we’ll hopefully have some thrilling issues…“
Half 2 of Cobra Kai‘s final season will follow on November 15th, with Part 3 concluding the series next year. Unfortunately, our own Alex Maidy struggled to get excited about the first five episodes but admitted that it’s onerous to guage the season with out having seen two-thirds of it. “This is the first season where the opening chapters completely underwhelmed me,” Maidy wrote. “With too many red herrings and retreads of previous conflicts, Cobra Kai VI opens with a disappointing start to what should have been a slam-dunk wrap for this popular franchise. Maybe because a feature film is on the way, there is still hope for this story, but it feels more than ever before like Cobra Kai has run out of steam.” You’ll be able to try the remainder of Maidy’s overview proper right here.
