YouTube Red had hoped that Cobra Kai, its new Karate Kid revival series, would become its own version of House of Cards, so it’s not surprising that the streaming service has renewed the show for Season 2, just one week after its debut.

Production will begin this fall on Season 2 of the series—which stars Ralph Macchio, who played LaRusso in three Karate Kid films, and William Zabka, who portrayed his nemesis Johnny Lawrence in two movies—which will air on YouTube Red next year.
