Recall that Cobra Kai, mainly starring Ralph Macchio as Daniel LaRusso and William Zabka Like Johnny Lawrence, it is a series derived from the Karate Kid universe that began to unfold in the 1980s.
The fans of the universe also saw in 2010 the remake of the movie Karate Kid starring at that time by the superstars Jackie Chan and Jaden Smith, the son of Will Smith.
When this version of the Karate Kid was developed in 2010, Will Smith’s production company, Overbrook Entertainment, secured the franchise rights to run the remake, which it maintains to this day.
In this sense, when Cobra Kai showrunners Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg wanted to create the sequel, they had to have the approval of the production company Overbrook Entertainment owned by Will Smith. For this reason, his name appears as the executive producer of the Netflix series.
