(Crane) Kick back and enjoy: Netflix has revealed the first footage from the upcoming Season 3 of “Cobra Kai,” as well as (pretty general) premiere timing for the new run of the “Karate Kid” sequel series.

“Cobrai Kai” Season 3 will debut in 2021, Netflix said on Monday. As previously announced, Seasons 1 and 2 of the Sony Pictures Television series will bow on Netflix on Aug. 28.

Before its move to Netflix, “Cobra Kai” was a YouTube Originals series.

Watch the trailer via the video above. The vast majority of it is a recap for Seasons 1 and 2, with a little sneak-peek action from Season 3 saved for the very end.

“Mr. Miyagi treated me like a son,” Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) says in the little new audio/video that we get. “He wouldn’t keep any secrets from me.”

“Are you sure about that?” a voice ominously asks as LaRusso gets thrown to the ground. A sai then penetrates the floorboard next to Daniel-san’s head.

“Cobra Kai” takes place 30 years after the events of the 1984 All Valley Karate Tournament, where a now successful LaRusso (Macchio) struggles to maintain balance in his life without the guidance of Mr. Miyagi, and must face his previous adversary, down-and-out Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka), who seeks redemption by reopening the infamous Cobra Kai karate dojo.
