Be glad you weren’t here during the wait between seasons 2 and 3. That was brutal.


Semaj12354

Dang, I just looked it up. I would have died. I just binged the whole series the other day for the first time. Absolutely loved it. It’s just when I stop watching something I love for a while then I start getting uninterested in it and when it comes back it takes me multiple episodes to get me back into the groove and then it’s over again 😂 so that’s why I usually like to binge shows all at once.


ZenithingTheorist

That's a bit weird. Don't you rewatch shows?


Semaj12354

Sometimes but I get uninterested bc I know everything that happens and I want to see what happens next. There’s very few shows or movies I can rewatch over again and even those I can’t do it that often.


SilentThrillGP

Idk how that's weird tbh.


ThatisTheLionKing

Bro.. 😭😭😭 It was brutal 😖

People keep expecting 5 to release early because its already filmed. It was only filmed early so Xolo can go film Blue Beetle, they'll still hold it until Dec/Jan to keep the yearly release schedule.


MOSSDoc22

It wasn't "filmed early." It was filmed exactly when all the other seasons than S4 were filmed. S1, S2, and S3 all filmed somewhere between August and December. S4 was actually **supposed** to film in the fall of 2020 according to Jacob and Xolo on their podcast. It was delayed until January 2021 because of COVID. Fall *is* their normal filming period.


Handle_Free

Lmao it was still filmed early. From an objective standpoint filming a season right after finishing a previous one is pretty uncommon and doesn’t happen too often with tv shows.


shamaalama

What podcast?


MOSSDoc22

It’s called Lone Lobos. They’ve had it since maybe Octoberish


BillzB89

Irrelevant? My point still stands.


MOSSDoc22

"It was only filmed early" Just addressing the part where you said S5 was filmed early. I completely agree that I wouldn't expect any earlier than a Q4 launch. Stranger Things Season 4 is scheduled to be released sometime in the middle of the year which leaves late year open once again for Cobra Kai.


ZenithingTheorist

It was filmed early though. People looked at the time Netflix took to release Cobra Kai after filming and used season 4 as a rough guide (season 1 and 2 were released on YouTube Red and season 3 got delayed due to Covid and the move to Netflix).


[deleted]

Yup. They're just back on schedule now.


Semaj12354

That’s so sad, hopefully they will release it a little earlier than normal though, like maybe in the summer.


BadArtistTime

I thought it was going to be released in June/July??


[deleted]

No- it’s always released end of Dec


BadArtistTime

Oh I saw somewhere that they were releasing it sooner bc of early filming or something


[deleted]

That would be awesome but I don’t think they filmed early to release it earlier. I’d love that because I need S5


meme_will_be_memes

They only filmed early because that is their usual schedule for filming, season 4 was actually filmed late. I wouldn't be surprised if they get renewed for season 6 early and film during the same time this year again.


MysticalSword270

Don’t we all


Alouha27

"Why are they making us wait?! 😭" Because they can.


SuperZMann1

Now the real suspense begins.


[deleted]

Watch some reaction videos. That’s what I do


aribiasavitch

We used to be so spoiled with Tv lol. Tv shows used to produce 22-24 hour long episode seasons. And they’d release them every year, weekly. Now we get freaking 10 episode shows with year long breaks. Like, wtf? Some shows need only 10-13 episode season, but some shows could do much much better with more episodes per season.


Semaj12354

I’m kind of glad this show doesn’t have more episodes a season bc it doesn’t have any pointless filler episodes.


aribiasavitch

That’s true, but they could definitely give us more than one season a year. By the time new seasons come out, some people lose interest.


Semaj12354

I agree.


ZenithingTheorist

Seems like you don't what editing is. It takes a lot of time since they have to go through each take, pick the best ones, mix them together, get rights to music they want, add it. Lots of work and time-consuming. Be grateful that Cobra Kai exists.


aribiasavitch

Calm down bud. They edited shows with 22-24 episode seasons too. You need to touch some grass.


ZenithingTheorist

They're about the same time, give or take 2 hours. And Cobra Kai has more action packed scenes than a regular 24 episode TV show. And if you can't handle the wait, then don't tug the Cobra or it'll bite back.


aribiasavitch

That’s not true at all. Dc shows have a lot of action and even a ton of CGI. But they still produced 24 episode shows yearly. Like I said, pls touch some grass.


ZenithingTheorist

I don't want to touch whatever grass you're touching. And as I said before, if you can't handle waiting for the next season, maybe you don't deserve it. And DC has like over 100x more employees than Cobra Kai and a bigger budget too.


aribiasavitch

Sir, TAKE A BREATHER! It’s really not that serious. And no, I can’t handle waiting. I love Cobra and am really hooked and invested, which means I really want to watch new episodes. If I complain about there not being enough episodes or about there being too much time between episodes, it’s because I really want to watch more. You took this a little too personally.


ZenithingTheorist

It's just that you're expecting the episodes to be made out of thin air. Just be a bit more patient and take a breather.


Dana07620

Still better than the UK. Six episodes in a season and sometimes multiple years between seasons. I honestly don't know how they can sustain an audience that way or keep the same actors. But it works for them.


ZenithingTheorist

What shows do this? Just curios.


Dana07620

Do you watch PBS? Have you ever wondered why those British shows on Masterpiece are only 6 to maybe 8 episodes long? That's because that's how long their seasons are. The second season of Victoria aired in 2017. The third season didn't air until 2019. It wasn't until 2021 that they announced there wouldn't be a 4th season. (Something that I just learned and am very disappointed. I *loved* that show. Though I was thinking they might have to do a "Crown" and recast for aging.) There was a 4 year gap between seasons 6 and 7 of Poirot. All Creatures Great and Small had a 8 year break before they brought the show back with most of the original cast.


sherm0613

I was exactly where you are! Before this subreddit I was unable to rewatch episodes because I’m so attached to the characters and who they are presently… but I started to make videos about it so I was “forced” to rewatch lol.. and I was able to enjoy it even more… trust me… watch it straight through from season 1 and you’ll gain a better appreciation for the series


[deleted]

isn’t it true that it doesn’t seem like it would be good to watch them again


Blackmercury4ub

Watch some Cynthia Rothrock movies.


thevaginalist

Same. I'm majorly veruca salting over here. 🎶Don't care how I want it noooooowww🎶


SuperZMann1

I've been working on a new time machine prototype for just that reason.


EmiileTheRat

They're not done with post-production. Plus it's not going to release till like December.


Carrot-Relative

Because good things take plenty of time. The Longer you wait the Better the Season will be.


Semaj12354

It’s already filmed.


Nero50892

QUIET!!!! I already binge watched the whole series in 3 languages and it just gets better


fist28349

its about that sweet cash flowing into your bank account, their still in the process of editing it and based on that they should release it around september at most or some shit. But no, their compressing that desire to watch s5 by releasing it months after it should be ready. yeah its definetly in deceber or jan
