Xolo Mariduena Talks Season Two of 'Cobra Kai': 'It's Definitely Larger Than Season One'

Xolo Mariduena is opening up all about the new season of YouTube Original’s Cobra Kai, which debuts today.

The 17-year-old actor spoke to Slash Film about keeping up his training for the show during the hiatus and bringing new moves to the screen.

“You can definitely see a progression with every single person in season two when it comes to our ability to perform with not only martial arts, but what we’re able to accomplish on screen,” Xolo shared. “It’s definitely is larger than the first season. So again, I can’t say exactly what but there was a lot more work that was put into season two.”

Xolo also opened up about the new relationships coming to the series, especially with the introduction of Peyton List‘s Tory.

“I think we’ll see how far that relationship will go. She is definitely, now that we end season one with Sam basically being out of Miguel’s life in totality, we see Tory coming into Cobra Kai and really shake things up for not only Miguel, but a lot of the other Cobras,” he shared. “It’s definitely going to be an interesting way to test out chemistry when it comes to Tory and Miguel.”

But Miguel’s feelings for Samantha (Mary Mouser) aren’t gone either.

“Samantha definitely is the first person that he’s liked. He’s experienced so much and learned so much through her that I think just with all of those things considered, of course he’s going to have feelings for her,” Xolo adds. “As the season progresses, we’ll see that his attention is dragged somewhere else. Not necessarily at another girl, but just with other things in general.”

Cobra Kai is streaming on YouTube now.

Xolo is also pictured below at the premiere of Sprinter held at Pacific Theaters at the Grove on Tuesday night (April 23) in Los Angeles.
