Johnny Lawrence: Last News

Jordan Moreau SPOILER ALERT: Do not read if you haven’t watched all of “Cobra Kai” Season 5, now streaming on Netflix Every season of “Cobra Kai” seems to one-up itself in dramatic fights, returning “Karate Kid” characters and tantalizing cliffhangers leaving you wanting more. Season 5, now streaming on Netflix, is no exception, with the finale teasing an inevitable Season 6 — which hasn’t officially been greenlit by Netflix, but the creators say they already have plans for. Season 5 ends with Kreese (Martin Kove) faking his death and escaping from prison, setting up his return as a possible antagonist if “Cobra Kai” is renewed. With Terry Silver (Thomas Ian Griffith) now arrested, things should be quieter in the Valley, unless Kreese seeks payback against Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) and Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio). Johnny might also have his hands full with a baby at some point soon, with Carmen (Vanessa Rubio) now expecting.
