Cobra Kai creator says pandemic will not affect Season 3 release

In a recent interview with CBR, co-creator Josh Heald confirmed that post-production for the upcoming third season of The Karate Kid sequel series Cobra Kai had already been completed just before the pandemic hit Hollywood, causing all TV and film productions to temporarily shutdown. Before Season 3 debuts on the series’ new streaming home, the first two seasons of Cobra Kai are set to be released on August 28 on Netflix.

“Thankfully with Season 3, we wrapped production before the end of 2019 and we wrapped post-production…I think there was a little bit of overlap,” Heald said. “We were still doing some finishing touches for the effects and some quality checks on Season 3 while the quarantine aspect of the pandemic was just beginning but we finished our final mix — the last big piece of post-production — that was done in-person with raising champagne and eating cupcakes and all the things you do to feel like you’re at your absolute unhealthiest coming out of the completion of a season. [Laughs] So there were no major delays in terms of COVID.”
