Cobra Kai Season 3 Release Date Has Been Brought Forward To 1 January

The release date for the third season of Cobra Kai has been brought forward a week from 8 January to 1 January.

Netflix tweeted to reveal the news, writing: "EVEN MORE NEWS: Johnny has figured out the internet and brought this forward a week. Cobra Kai S3 arrives 1 January!"

The streaming service then went on to add: "If you haven't seen it yet it truly is a perfect little show that's ideal for hitting hard during the no-man's-land between Christmas and New Year."

The popular Netflix show is set 30 years after the events in the Karate Kid movie. According to Netflix: "Season three finds everyone reeling in the aftermath of the violent high school brawl between their dojos, which has left Miguel in a precarious condition.

"While Daniel searches for answers in his past and Johnny seeks redemption, Kreese further manipulates his vulnerable students with his own vision of dominance.

"The soul of the Valley is at stake, and the fate of every student and sensei hangs in the balance."

After Netflix announced it would be bringing Season 3 forward, one fan wrote: "I'll have it finished by 3pm and immediately fall into a mood because I'll have to wait another year for more."

Another added: "This has made my hangover today somewhat bearable, I must survive until then - thank you!"

A third commented: "There is hope to the year ahead after all #waxonwaxoff."

The Karate Kid spin-off series sees William Zabka and Ralph Macchio reprising their respective roles as Johnny Lawrence and Daniel LaRusso.

Netflix acquired the first two seasons of the show - which originally aired on YouTube Premium (formerly known as YouTube Red) - back in June, and since finding a new home viewers have been loving it.

Bring on New Year's Day, folks.
