The saga of The Karate Kid will continue even further. YouTube Red confirms that sequel series Cobra Kai has officially swept the leg of its competition and booked a Season 2 renewal.
If YouTube’s Karate Kid sequel seemed surprisingly up to snuff, why not Jumper? Our first trailer for YouTube Red sequel series Impulse has arrived, as director Doug Liman returns to the teleporting 2008 action franchise.
It’s tough to imagine 50 year-olds crane-kicking the Karate Kid franchise back to life, but darn it all if YouTube Red’s Cobra Kai doesn’t look … fun? A first full trailer for the sequel series has reignited a legendary rivalry, and even provided us with a May premiere.
The Cobra Kai do not wax on. The Cobra Kai do not wax off. Everything you learned in The Karate Kid goes out the window with a fresh trailer for the YouTube Red sequel series, as Sensei Johnny takes an unorthodox approach to training the next generation of dojo fighters.
Look, we all know the feeling of childhood karate rivalries that last into middle-age, but YouTube’s Karate Kid sequel series is finally here to put it onscreen. Return to Cobra Kai, as Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence reignite their old rivalry with a nostalgic first teaser for the new series.
There’s definitely a lot more leg to sweep on Danny LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence now. YouTube’s Karate Kid sequel series Cobra Kai is about to go before cameras, and a new behind-the-scenes photo reunites the rivals as YouTube announces the full series cast.
It isn’t very often that a documentary becomes a hit with mainstream audiences, but that’s exactly what happened with Morgan Spurlock’s Super Size Me back in 2004. The documentary followed Spurlock on a month-long experiment in unhealthy diets, with the filmmaker eating exclusively at McDonald’s for weeks on end. The result was a smash hit: Super-Size Me grossed $11.9 million dollars — good for 25th all-time among documentaries — and even garnered an Academy Award nomination. More than that, though, is the effect the film had on the fast food industry, with publications like Refinery29 saying years later that Spurlock’s film likely helped companies “increase consumer awareness of size, as well as ingredients and nutrition.”
Well, if 2008’s Jumper had one constant, it’s the appearance of being everywhere at once. So it is, that after YouTube ordered a sequel series of sorts, another Jumper series based on the film has entered development, potentially returning star Jamie Bell to his role.
