List of episodes

The second season of Cobra Kai was released on YouTube Premium on April 24, 2019, and consisted of 10 episodes. The series is a direct sequel to the original four films in The Karate Kid franchise, focusing on the characters of Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence over 30 years after the original film. This is the final season to be originally released on YouTube's streaming service as Netflix would acquire the streaming rights to Cobra Kai following YouTube's decision not to renew the series past a third season.

The season had nine starring roles, six of which returned from the first season and the other three consisting of previously recurring and guest cast members, Jacob Bertrand, Gianni DeCenzo, and Martin Kove, all of who received promotions. Leo Birenberg and Zach Robinson composed a soundtrack album to accompany the season. The season received generally positive reviews from critics, though it was deemed inferior to the previous season, received multiple awards and nominations including an Emmy award, and achieved record setting viewing figures.

111"Mercy Part II"Jon Hurwitz & Hayden SchlossbergJosh Heald, Jon Hurwitz, & Hayden SchlossbergApril 24, 2019 (2019-04-24)
Following a brief fight, Kreese tries to convince Johnny to allow him to rejoin Cobra Kai but Johnny refuses due to their history in the originals. Carmen notices Miguel's darker nature during the fight but still approves of Johnny training him. Robby learns about the history of Miyagi-Do, and Daniel plans to open up a dojo, to his wife's reluctance, as Johnny scolds Miguel and Hawk on their dishonorable techniques at the tournament, although he was the one who taught them such techniques in the first place. Daniel brings Sam into his Karate dojo, while Johnny tries to patch things up with Robby. But Robby, who believes Johnny had his students fight dirty against him, humiliatingly rejects him by claiming that Daniel is a better father to him than Johnny ever was. Kreese finally apologizes and convinces Johnny to let him join Cobra Kai as an assistant sensei.

Miguel tries reaching out to Sam to no avail, while Daniel begins training Robby and Sam, but Amanda calls him out for caring more about teaching Karate than doing his job. Johnny continues to use harsh methods to train his students, including forcing them to move a full cement truck to train their leg strength, impressing Kreese. Daniel invites Robby to move in with him after seeing the state of his home, although Amanda reminds him Johnny is still around. Daniel goes to confront Johnny in the Cobra Kai dojo, where Kreese mockingly offers his condolences on Mr. Miyagi's death and warns Daniel that their fight is "inevitable."

Johnny uses a computer for the first time and sees a Miyagi-Do ad on YouTube where Daniel is promoting Miyagi-Do Karate for free, inspiring Johnny to do the same for Cobra Kai. Two teenagers want to join Miyagi-do, but when Daniel tells them to wax on and off the fence, they decide to join Cobra Kai instead. Meanwhile, Miguel learns that Robby is Johnny's son and confronts Johnny about it, who confides in him that on the day Robby was born, he wasn't there for him because his mother (at the time the only person Johnny cared about) had passed away. Afraid of being a father, he failed Robby on his first day and vows to never fail Miguel. When Daniel, Sam, and Robby perform their Miyagi-Do demonstration, Cobra Kai intervenes with their own demonstration, which outshines Miyagi-Do's, making them more popular.

He asks Robby to return the medal to Daniel and tell Sam that he's sorry before leaving. Fearing that this will sabotage his newfound relationship with Sam, Robby keeps it a secret.

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes the season holds an 90% approval rating with an average rating 7.4 out of 10, based on 31 reviews.[39] The website critical consensus reads "While Cobra Kai's subversive kick no longer carries the same gleeful impact of its inaugural season, its second round is still among the best around -- no amount of mid-life crisis and teenage ennui's ever gonna keep it down."[39] Meanwhile, on Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, the season has a Metascore of 66 out of 100, indicating "generally favorable reviews."[38] Alex McLevy writing for The A.V. Club said that the season felt to be a "witty relaunch of a beloved film" and that with "half the humor and double the melodrama" of the first season McLevy compared it to that of a soap opera.[40] Alan Sepinwall from Rolling Stone similarly wrote that the season is "leaning too hard on nostalgia and a soapy teen love triangle."[45] Den of Geek' Andrew Husband disagreed saying that although the season had its issues, that it had "some of the most exciting creative storytelling" of recent television.[41] Kristen Baldwin from Entertainment Weekly wrote that despite the series being based on a 1980s film, it doesn't live in the past, and that the season "hits viewers with bursts of nostalgia endorphins, leaving us giddy and defenseless against the next emotional wallop."[42] IGN reviewer David Griffin stated that he was initially skeptical of Martin Kove's addition to the main cast but that his character later adds a dynamic to the season and raises its stakes.[43] Hanh Nguyn of IndieWire said the season helps "capture the energy of 1980's cinema" and praised the addition of cast members such as Peyton List, who Nguyn said brings a "fresh and energetic immediacy to the conflicts."[44] When reviewing the first two seasons together after its release on Netflix, The Telegraph's Ed Power wrote that the series "is aware, that times have changed and that in the grown-up world there are problems that can’t be solved by a punch to the solar plexus or a sneaky scissor kick."[46]

Awards and nominations[]

At the 71st Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards the season was nominated for an Emmy award in the Outstanding Stunt Coordination for a Comedy Series or Variety Program category,[47] but the award went to GLOW, a television series on Netflix.[48] A 2019 Teen Choice Awards nomination was also picked up for Choice Summer TV Series, which was ultimately awarded to the third season of Stranger Things, which also airs on Netflix.[49][50] The extended promotional trailer, "Cobra Kai 30 for 30", was nominated for a Clio Award, an award program that specifically issues awards for advertising;[51] This award was lost to Netflix's When They See Us for an advertisement named "Room to Room."[52]

Viewing figures[]

Within three days of the seasons release it was reported that it was 136% more in demand than the first season was in the same three-day period.[53] The season was the most in demand original streaming series during the first seven days of its release, beating the second place holder, Hulu's The Act, by 41%.[53] It was also reported that the season generated more demand than the second season releases of The Handmaid's Tale, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, and Atlanta in their seven-day window.[53] "Mercy Part II", the seasons premiere episode, had been seen by 20 million viewers within six days, the fastest period for a YouTube original to do so at the time.[53] A week later the season remained the most in demand original streaming series, raising 20% from the week prior.[54] Prior to the seasons release on Netflix data showed that it was already the most demanded series on the service, beating both The Frozen Ground and Lucifer which had already been released.[55] Once the first and second season were released on Netflix together the series gained 2.17 billion streaming minutes after seven days across its then 20-episodes.[56] The following month the series topped Netflix's most-viewed series list for the entire 30-day period.[57] Netflix reported that 50 million accounts viewed at least two minutes of an episode during that time period.[58]
