New Movies & Shows To Stream This Weekend: Cobra Kai, Lady In The Lake, Those About To Die + More

Ralph Macchio, William Zabka, and their children, who have endured the generational trauma of the All Valley tournament in 1984, are back for the season 6, part I of Cobra Kai on Netflix this week. On Apple TV+, Natalie Portman, Moses Ingram, and Mikey Madison star in Lady In The Lake (no relation to the 1947 Philip Marlowe noir mystery). And on Peacok, you can watch the complete season of the sword-and-sandal drama Those About To Die, which came out yesterday.

New on Netflix July 18: Cobra Kai

It’s almost the beginning of the end of the biggest karate rivalry in Southern California! This week marks the arrival of Cobra Kai’s sixth and final season on Netflix, but don’t get too excited, because there are three parts to this season, and Part III won’t get here till 2025. And how’s this for a fun fact: the first three Karate Kid movies which starred Ralph Macchio were released in a span of five years. By the time Cobra Kai comes to an end, it will have run for seven.
