What TIME Cobra Kai Season 4 Releases On Netflix

Netflix’s hit continuation of the Karate Kid franchise returns to close out 2021, with Cobra Kai season 4 releasing online at midnight on New Year’s Eve. The show brought Ralph Macchio and William Zapka back as Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence back in 2018. Despite strong reviews, Cobra Kai didn’t become part of mainstream pop culture until 2020, when the first two seasons arrived on Netflix. This came as part of the show’s overall transition from YouTube Red to Netflix, where season 3 debuted at the start of 2021 and solidified Cobra Kai‘s place as a major Netflix hit.

In the year since Cobra Kai season 3 was released, viewers have been anxiously waiting to see how the show would continue. Netflix announced plans for Cobra Kai season 4 prior to season 3’s debut, making the cliffhanger ending easier to accept. Audiences last saw Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence unite their dojos against John Kreese’s revamped Cobra Kai. This was done in preparation for the All Valley Tournament, where a victory by any of LaRusso or Lawrence’s students means Cobra Kai will go away forever. Marketing materials and early reviews for Cobra Kai season 4 left the show’s large fanbase desperate to see what happens next.

Cobra Kai season 4 releases on Netflix on New Year’s Eve, December 31, 2021, at 12:01 am PST, 3:01 am EST, and 9:01 am GMT. This has become Netflix’s standard release model for all of its movies and shows. The full season will be available all at once when the clock turns past midnight on the west coast, which means Cobra Kai viewers will need to stay up to begin binging at the soonest possible time. Of course, the series isn’t going anywhere, so audiences can spend the final day of 2021 watching all ten episodes of Cobra Kai season 4.

The convenience of Cobra Kai season 4’s release time differs depending on what part of the world someone lives in. Thankfully, most people should have the opportunity to check out part or most of the new season before 2021 ends. Those in the United States will have the best chance of watching Cobra Kai season 4 in its entirety before getting ready for New Year’s Eve festivities. But even if someone can’t start or complete the season before then, the good news is that the show will still be available to watch on Netflix in 2022.

No matter when someone decides to watch Cobra Kai season 4, it is already confirmed that the story will continue. Netflix previously announced the show’s renewal for Cobra Kai season 5, and the showrunners have hopes it will continue beyond then as well. As long as subscribers continue to heavily engage in the renewed rivalry or partnership between LaRusso and Lawrence, there should be plenty of opportunities for Cobra Kai to continue – whether that means additional seasons or other Karate Kid spinoffs.
