Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) and Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) have been through a lot in these first three seasons of Cobra Kai. So much, in fact, that the unthinkable has happened; Daniel and Johnny are finally pushing their differences aside to take on John Kreese (Martin Kove) together.
Yes, Cobra Kai is often a fun show with tons of laughs and some super cool fight sequences, but it’s always successfully woven in just enough honest drama to reflect the real human experience. So while Season 3 does tee up a level of commitment from Daniel and Johnny to unite their dojos to take down Kreese once and for all, it can’t be that simple. There’s still loads of history between them, differences in their teaching and fighting styles, and many more potential complications.
While continuing to spread the Cobra Kai love, Zabka joined us for a new episode of Collider Connected. Yes, the conversation does focus on The Karate Kid and Cobra Kai a good deal, but it also gave us an opportunity to discuss how Zabka’s journey in the industry began and some of his less-talked-about titles, like his Academy Award nominated short film, Most. We’ll have that full conversation for you next week, but while we wait, how about a little tease of the conversation? Maybe the portion of it that focused on what to expect from Johnny at the beginning of Season 4?

Of course, he couldn’t reveal any Season 3 details at the time, but he was able to give us a sense of what’s to come by detailing Johnny’s headspace at the very end of Season 2. So this time around, I opted to take that same approach to get an idea of where we might see Johnny at the beginning of Season 4. Here’s what Zabka had to say when discussing how Johnny feels about his team-up with Daniel in the Season 3 finale:So that’s how Johnny’s feeling rolling into Season 4, but what about Zabka and the rest of the Cobra Kai cast and crew? While they did find a whole lot of success when the show was running on YouTube, the shift to Netflix increased the fanbase exponentially. You could feel it when Season 3 premiered back in January. Did that added enthusiasm impact the filming of Season 4? Here’s what Zabka had to say about that:
