Cobra Kai creators plan spinoffs focused on Johnny Lawrence's journey

Cobra Kai has ended, but plans for spinoffs in the Miyagiverse are underway. The creators suggest that future projects will only succeed if they focus on Johnny Lawrence, a character who has become central to the series' appeal. The original series, which ran for six seasons, gained popularity after being picked up by Netflix. It reimagined the Karate Kid story, shifting the focus to Johnny's perspective and his struggles in modern life. While new characters were introduced, they did not resonate as strongly as Johnny. The creators believe that any new series should continue to explore his journey, as he remains a compelling figure in the franchise.
