Netflix has just released the first teaser promo for the upcoming fourth season of Cobra Kai, and it confirms the return of the despicable Terry Silver.
In the season 3 finale, Kreese (Martin Kove) turned to a mysterious individual for help after Johnny (William Zabka) and Danny (Ralph Machio) put their differences aside and joined forces. There was a lot of speculation that the person on the other end of the line was Silver, and sure enough, Thomas Ian Griffith (ponytail and all) will reprise the role for season 4.
Silver was an old war buddy of Kreese's, and the original financier of the Cobra Kai dojo. He served as the principal antagonist of Karate Kid III after first becoming Danny's new trainer only to betray his student by revealing that the whole thing was an elaborate plan to gain his trust. The character appeared in flashbacks during season 3, thanking Kreese for saving his life and promising to be "there for him" for the rest of his life.
It looks like Kreese will be calling in that favor!
"I never imagined I'd be stepping back into this role, but what an incredible opportunity to bring Terry Silver full circle," Griffith tells EW. "When they say Cobra Kai never dies, they mean it!"
Check out the brief teaser and a poster below.
A premiere date for Cobra Kai season 4 has not been announced.
