Cobra Kai Is Moving To A New Platform
The new reports by Deadline reveal that Youtube is planning to shift Cobra Kai to another platform. Youtube’s original agreement with Sony Pictures Tv gave Youtube exclusive rights to the series. Now whichever streaming platform bags, the series will get exclusive rights for Cobra Kai season 3 and non-exclusive rights of the first two seasons. Reports also reveal that many major streaming platforms are interested in the show. However, Netflix and Hulu are topping the list. Youtube will not let go of their rights until Cobra Kai has found a new home.
For the past couple of years, Youtube has been shifting from original scripted programming to more of the unscripted content. All the scripted series of the platforms are canceled, excluding Cobra Kai and Liza on Demand. Youtube was all set to release Cobra Kai Season 3. But then Sony TV got a word from them that they wouldn’t renew the show for the fourth season. This lead to negotiations to relocate Cobra Kai and secure the show.
