The video was first shown to fans at NYCC back in October. TheMiyagi Dojois going to be a much bigger part in the upcoming highly anticipated second season.
Mr. Miyagi’s home was first located in Canoga Park, California. However, the house was sold afterThe Karate Kidhit theaters and later demolished. The house was reconstructed on the Columbia backlot and used forThe Karate Kid IIandThe Karate Kid III. The set was later taken down, so they had to rebuild it forCobra Kai, and they did an excellent job. They even recreated the backyard and added a pond. It’s pretty remarkable that they were able to make such an accurate reconstruction.

Paul Walter Hauser has also been cast for a recurring “key” role.

Cobra Kai Season 2 has been in productionfor the last few months, and William Zabka has shared a few pictures from the set, including the return of Martin Kove. The first season left fans on a pretty big cliffhanger, so we’re all waiting to see how Kove’s Sensei John Kreese and Zabka’s Johnny Lawrence get along after all of these years. Zabka says, “there’s love between them, but it is a dysfunctional kind of love, and we will see what happens.” Regardless, it’s going to be very interesting to see how everything pans out.
