Here's your first sweet teaser for the new TV sequel to 'The Karate Kid'

Daniel and Johnny are back.

It's been a solid 34 years since Daniel and Johnny faced off against each other at the All-Valley Karate Tournament, but now it looks like history is about to repeat itself.

Yep: Ralph Macchio and William Zabka, who starred in the original 1984 film The Karate Kid, are coming back for an upcoming series -- Cobra Kai -- that will act as a sequel to the original. And we now have our first bit of teaser footage:

So the TL;DW version of that seems to be that Daniel and Johnny -- despite sort of overcoming their mutual dislike at the end of The Karate Kid -- are now back to hating each other again.

The infamous Cobra Kai dojo is set to reopen with the same old slogan dubbed onto the walls. Daniel and Johnny are officially "not done".

The jury's still out on whether the show's going to be brilliant or terrible, though.

A release date hasn't yet been set for Cobra Kai, but it's expected at some point in 2018.
