Netflix users are demanding answers following a huge Cobra Kai cliffhanger.

The series, a Karate Kid sequel featuring original lead star Ralph Macchio, arrived on the streaming service last month, and immediately shot to the top of its most watched charts.

Viewers who tore through the two available seasons have been left wanting more due to its climactic events.

The biggest mystery surrounds the fate of a character named Miguel Diaz (Xolo Maridueña), who was shown in hospital after a big fall in the season two finale.

In the episode, titled “No Mercy”, a karate fight sees members of two warring tribes face off, which ends with Miguel getting kicked over a set of railings by Robby Keene (Tanner Buchanan).

The last viewers see of Miguel is when he is unconscious on a life support machine.

While many were left wondering whether Miguel will return in season three, others used their detective skills to discover that this actually seems extremely likely.

In November 2019, Maridueña tweeted that he was excited to return for the show’s third season.

It seems Miguel lives to fight another day.

Cobra Kai is available to stream on Netflix now.
