The upcoming installment will now release at the end of next year.
The Big Picture Sony's next return to the dojo has been delayed. Today the studio announced a slew of pushed release dates, including their upcoming The Karate Kid. First announced in September 2022, the new installment to the franchise will now release on December 13, 2024. It was originally scheduled to release on June 7, 2024.
During the original time of the announcement, Sony had yet to reveal any attached writer, director, or other creative team members to the new Karate Kid, with it likely still being in the relatively early stages of development. The delay comes as little surprise now, as both the WGA and SAG-AFTRA are currently striking for better pay, protection against AI, and more.
Currently, there are no further details about what to expect from The Karate Kid. All we know so far is that the new installment is meant continue the original franchise. As mentioned, no creative team was announced, and it is unclear whether original cast members will return for the new installment. The original movie released in 1984 and starred Ralph Macchio as Daniel LaRusso.
The Karate Kid Already Has a Continuation Series While the new movie is set to take place within the original franchise, Netflix is gearing up to release the sixth and final season of Cobra Kai following the strikes. The series is set more than 30 years following the original movies. This time around, it places the emphasis on Johnny, who re-opens the Cobra Kai dojo in his own Karate Kid-esque storyline. It features several returning and new faces to the franchise.
The Karate Kid will now release on December 13, 2024. In the meantime, watch the original trilogy, the 2010 reboot, and Cobra Kai on Netflix.
