Cobra Kai creators discuss the creation of the show
When a CBR reporter asked about their successful attempt at reviving the Karate Kid franchise and their approach behind the ideas, the creators revealed that it birthed out of their love for the franchise.
“We're all huge fans of The Karate Kid from back in the day... and writing it not just with a thought of what people who were fans of The Karate Kid would want to see,” Hurwitz said. He revealed that before pitching the show, they had hoped to do at least six seasons to do justice to the story but did not expect the outpour of love.
“To actually be on the other side of it right now... It feels awesome to be finishing it on our own terms, finishing it the way that we intended from the beginning,” he added.
Hurwitz added that fan response to the show was everything they’d dreamed of, and the excitement to conclude the story has become three-fold! “We're thrilled. We're excited. It's a dream come true,” he said.
