WhyCobra KaiNever Brought Back That One MajorKarate KidCharacter

Now that its over, we can safely sayCobra Kaidid it all.

Well, with one exception.

You know the one.

Did [SPOILER] come back to Cobra Kai? Let’s discuss.Netflix

Its the one everyone hasbeen asking for for years.

The one that didnt happen in the final episodes.

There are no spoilers below except that the person doesnt show up.

Its one of those situations where we always explore, Schlossberg told io9.

We have a go at find out what the options are because we dont control all these actors lives.

It was no guarantee that we were going to get Yuji [Okumoto] or Thomas Ian Griffith back.

So we explored it.

But we learned pretty quickly that that wasnt going to happen in the final season.

With Julie Pierce, it was something that we would have loved to have done, Hurwitz added.

But one of the things we always say is, Things happen for a reason.

And creatively, it actually worked out totally fine.

And were thrilled with how the season ended up.

And Ill say theres no lost episode out there, Heald said.

We didnt get deep enough where were like, Here it is.

And now we have to totally shift.

We explored very early to just make that relationship and see if it was possible.

And the timing was such that it just couldnt work out.

And we wrote knowing that.

So we didnt have any kind of remorse.

There you have it,Cobra Kaifans.

Maybe well see her inKarate Kid Legends, or whatever project these three have next.

All episodes ofCobra Kaiare now streaming on Netflix.
