No, Netflix did not buy Cobra Kai from YouTube. Cobra Kai was originally a YouTube Premium series, but Netflix acquired the rights to the show in 2020. This means that Netflix became the exclusive streaming home for the show, and new seasons are only available on Netflix.
Here's a breakdown:
- YouTube Premium: Cobra Kai was originally released on YouTube Premium, a paid subscription service from YouTube.
- Netflix Acquisition: In 2020, Netflix acquired the rights to Cobra Kai from Sony Pictures Television, which produced the show.
- Streaming Exclusivity: This deal made Netflix the exclusive streaming platform for Cobra Kai. New seasons of Cobra Kai are only available on Netflix.
While YouTube Premium was the initial platform for the show, Netflix's acquisition secured the show's future and brought it to a wider audience.
