"We put so much work end of season four to make it the biggest one yet and the craziest one and the coolest one," said Tanner Buchanan, who plays Robby Keene in the show. "Just everything. We just really, really stepped up everything. That's what we try to do is just outdo ourselves every single time."

Thomas Ian Griffith, who plays Terry Silver, went on to praise the creators for taking the show to the "next level" with the cast. "That's why I think people are just going to be blown away. You're going to go, eh, it is what it is," he said. "They peak here ... it's like, no way. And there's so much of that. Every time you expect something it's twisted up, which I love, and it's just great storytelling. We're in good hands with this."

Mary Mouser, who stars as Samantha LaRusso in Cobra Kai, shared her feelings about Season 4 as well, saying that it was "an absolute beast to tackle" during filming. "We all worked our absolute butts off to make it happen. And I think that labor of love hopefully shows through," she said. "I know that when I've gotten to work the season, I've really just valued how much bigger the world gets and how the stakes are so high and how much that impacted all of us and all of our performances. And I think we all took it very seriously but kept the fun and the lightheartedness that is Cobra Kai in it too."
