Cobra Kai stars reunite in Disney+ thriller after Netflix Karate Kid spin-off
Cobra Kai star Alicia Hannah-Kim has joined a new Hulu and Disney+ drama series alongside a number of other big names including a former Netflix co-star. Cobra Kai actress Alicia Hannah-Kim is set to reunite with a former Netflix co-star in an exciting Korean spy drama. The starlet featured in Cobra Kai, portraying Kim Da-Eun from the second series, the granddaughter of the villainous Kim Sun-Yung (CS Lee) who taught karate to John Kreese (Martin Kove) and Terry Silver (Thomas Ian Griffith). Following the conclusion of Cobra Kai earlier this year, Hannah-Kim has a new project lined up titled Tempest, expected to premiere on Hulu and Disney+ later this year. While her role in the eight-part drama remains under wraps, the Korean-Australian actress will once again share screen space with actor Jacob Bertrand. Bertrand is best known for his role as Eli "Hawk" Moskowitz in Cobra Kai, who eventually leaves the titular dojo for Johnny Lawrence's (William Zabka) Eagle Fang Karate and then Miyagi-Do. Their casting was announced alongside Star Trek's John Cho and The Lincoln Lawyer actor Christopher Gorham, with Gianna Jun and Gang Dongwon headlining the series. Tempest revolves around diplomat and former United States ambassador Seo Munju (Gianna Jun) and international special agent Sanho (Gang Dongwon) as they "race to uncover the truth behind an attack that threatens the future stability of the Korean peninsula". Set for release in 2025, Tempest will be available internationally on Disney+ and on Hulu in the US, with the streaming platforms hinting at a plot filled with "assassinations, political games, conspiracies and spies will collide". Production initially kicked off in Seoul last year, with IMDb confirming that Tempest is still currently being filmed. In the final series of Cobra Kai, Kim Da-Eun's narrative ended with her murdering her grandfather Kim Sun-Yung after he attempted to persuade her to kill John Kreese (Martin Kove). She then managed to transform the dojo in Korea, distancing herself from his dreadful teachings and adopting a more peaceful approach akin to Miyagi-Do. It was hinted that she and Chozen (Yuji Okumoto) found their happy ending, with him turning up at her dojo, suitcase in hand and a broad grin on both their faces.
