The new year has been around less than a week and big things have already happened, not the least of which is the release of Cobra Kai Season 3. Fans are talking about the epic third season and are already counting down the days until the confirmed Season 4 arrives. But with everything going on…when exactly will that be?
The creators of the show went and did an interview with PopCulture.com and noted the following about the production schedule for Season 4:
“We are looking to make Season 4 in 2021,” said Cobra Kai co-creator and executive producer Josh Heald. “COVID has thrown a wrench into everyone’s plans for exactly when production begins. But our expectation is in early 2021, we will be in production. We are just keeping our heads down and making sure that the story makes sense and the scripts are solid and getting our ducks in a row so the moment that everything looks good, we can begin.”
“The beauty is our stages have so many sets at this point,” he continued. “Things that used to be locations, we’ve built onstage. …The moment that it’s a go, we will be ready to jump with very little prep.”
Co-creator and executive producer Jon Hurwitz went on to add that most of Season 4 has already been written, and that there are ideas for many more seasons of Cobra Kai going forward.
“We have plans for several more seasons of the show,” added series co-creator and executive producer Jon Hurwitz. “When we starting writing Season 1, we had a clear sense where we wanted things to end, but we never knew exactly how long it would take to get there. … We’ve written Season 4, or most of it. We have thoughts beyond that, and it’s going to be an ongoing dialogue with Netflix.”
This last statement is very key because many people (including some of us at The Outerhaven) felt that Season 4 might be the end due to how certain things played out in Season 3. But if Cobra Kai goes beyond that, and they can keep the quality up? We’ll be watching.
