If you thought we'd left '80s nostalgia revivals behind and were at the tail-end of the '90s portion before relaunching all of the early 2000s, think again. The Karate Kid turns 33 this year, and after an animated series, two direct sequels, a pseudo-sequel starring Hillary Swank, and a Jackie Chan/Jaden Smith remake about Kung Fu, it's time for things to come full circle in the most bizarre manner possible, and yet somehow the most inevitable: a 10-part YouTube Red series that brings back Ralph Macchio's Daniel LaRusso and Billy Zabka's Johnny Lawrence as the heads of rival dojos.

What?!

THR describes Cobra Kai as a half-hour comedy but it sounds like serious business, involving offers from the likes of Hulu, Netflix, Amazon, and even AMC. It also sounds like a franchise becoming sentient and undergoing a mid-life crisis:

The series, set to bow in 2018, is set 30 years after the events of the 1984 All Valley Karate Tournament and revolves around a down and out Johnny who, seeking redemption, reopens the infamous Cobra Kai dojo. It reignites his rivalry with a now-successful Daniel, who has been struggling to maintain balance in his life without the guidance of his mentor, Mr. Miyagi (the late Pat Morita). The half-hour comedy follows the duo addressing demons from their past and present frustrations — through (what else?) karate. Josh Heald (Hot Tub Time Machine) as well as duo Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg (Harold and Kumar) will pen the script and exec produce alongside Macchio and Zabka. Hurwitz and Schlossberg will direct much of the series. Will Smith's Sony Pictures Television Studios-based Overbrook Entertainment will exec produce with James Lassiter and Caleeb Pinkett overseeing for the company.

If you aren't already feeling old, do keep in mind that Zabka and Macchio are about to turn 52 and 55 respectively.

I'm a child of the '90s, but The Karate Kid was my bizarre early window into American culture, and as a kid who tried (and failed) to perfect the crane kick numerous times, you can be damned sure I'm here for this. That was America then. YouTube Red is America now, I guess, or it will be when it expands to the 18-49 demographic with this series.

Cobra Kai arrives sometime in 2018. What a time to be alive.
