COBRA KAI Promotes Vanessa Rubio and Peyton List to Series Regulars; Two New Actors Cast

Now that the dust has settled on a fantastic third season of Cobra Kai, the series has promoted Vanessa Rubio and Peyton List to series regulars. Rubio has been in the series since Season 1 as Carmen Diaz, Miguel’s mother and Johnny’s Season 3 love interest. List joined the show in Season 2, playing Tory Nichols, a girl with a tough past that joins Cobra Kai and is taken under the wing of John Kreese.

Both characters had bigger parts this season, and it only makes sense that they get headliner billing like their co-stars. The series has also added two new characters to the fourth season with young actors Dallas Young (Mixed-ish, The Big Show Show) and newcomer Oona O’Brien, who has starred in stage productions of Annie and School of Rock.

Young will play “Kenny, a bullied new kid in school who turns to karate as a way to defend himself.” O’Brien will play “Devon, a potential new karate student who is relentlessly competitive, a quick study, and equally quick-tempered when she’s provoked.”

These sound like solid new characters, and I can’t wait to see them in the next season of Cobra Kai.
