Legends," fans of the Netflix series "Cobra Kai" wondered how - or even if - the show would connect to the new film. "Cobra Kai" - which followed original "Karate Kid" villain Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) attempts to rehabilitate both his life and old dojo - wrapped its six-season run at the beginning of 2025.

Karate Kid: Legends is not a direct sequel to Cobra Kai, but it takes place in the same world as the series and original movies.

If you thought Sony kicked the Netflix series out of the dojo, fear not—Ralph Macchio himself will ease your concerns.
