![]() The show’s creators have stated that neither the cartoon nor the 2010 redux are part of their Miyagi-verse canon. It moved to Netflix for the third season, where it rose to become one of their most watched series. And now there’s Cobra Kai, which began on YouTube Red, and enjoyed a theatrical premiere of the first two episodes through Fathom Events. Then in 2010, there was the redux film The Karate Kid starring Jackie Chan and Jaden Smith. It only ran for one season, just 13 episodes (the animated Return to the Planet of the Apes only lasted 13 episodes too). A short-lived and mostly forgotten animated series was televised in 1989. ![]() The Karate Kid franchise began with four feature films from 1984 to 1994. That reboot resulted in four more films with a fifth film allegedly about to begin production around now. It began as five feature films from 1968 to 1973, then evolved into two TV series, one live action and the other animated, and then was rebooted in 2001. ![]() The closest parallel franchise to what the Miyagi-verse might become is the Planet of the Apes. Both are from the Spider-verse, which is its own alternate dimension, sometimes part of Disney’s MCU and sometimes not. It’s almost all under Disney now, but it’s worth to note that accompanying Sony’s Karate Kid announcement was the postponement of two of Sony’s Marvel properties: Kraven the Hunter and Madame Web. The MCU is messier because the rights for certain properties were held by different companies. Star Trek began as a TV show, then beamed up to the movies, and returned to TV, for a staggering total 11 TV series and 13 films. While the Star Trek and Marvel franchises have darted back and forth between the big and small screens with tremendous success, what’s happening with Karate Kid is different. And relevant to this new film, that deal included spinoffs and other offshoots of the Cobra Kai and Karate Kid universe, which Heald dubbed the ‘Miyagi-verse.’ Per Variety, however, no cast or crew is currently attached to the new untitled Karate Kid film. Heald spoke to Den of Geek last year right after he and his two creative partners, Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg renewed their contract with Sony. “It’s a ginormous universe,” teased Josh Heald, one of the show’s creators. Although it looks like Johnny and Daniel might have finally put their personal feud behind them after the end of the third season John Kreese is still a foe to them both and the feud between Cobra Kai and Miyagi-do is going strong and there are strong fighters on both sides.For anyone following along, the show’s creators have already tipped their hands. Johnny Lawrence and Daniel LaRusso brought back the Cobra Kai and Miyagi-Do feud thirty years after the first movie.
