Terry’s Cobra Kai Season 4 Return Is Absurd Says Star

Thomas Ian Griffith, who will reprise the role of Terry Silver in Cobra Kai season 4, says that his character’s return is absurd. The chaotic season 3 finale included the heavily discussed moment of Kreese (Martin Cove) calling in a favor from his old friend Terry. Fans were eager to see the return of Griffith’s over-the-top antagonist from The Karate Kid Part III, wondering how the ostentatious villain would fit into the world of Cobra Kai, as the Netflix series tends to lovingly mock its own characters while also painting them in shades of grey.

With the premiere of Cobra Kai season 4 fast approaching, the cast has been offering hints of what to expect from the show’s return. Shedding light on Terry’s involvement in the coming episodes, series star Ralph Macchio (who plays Daniel LaRusso) teased that there would be another angle to the character. He also acknowledged that, to many fans of The Karate Kid franchise, the third installment isn’t viewed favorably, and noted that Cobra Kai would attempt to rectify that through the inclusion of its villain.

Griffith has now given his take on how Terry fits into the popular Netflix continuation. Speaking with EW to promote Cobra Kai season 4, which arrives on Netflix on December 31, Griffith addresses how his return came about and discusses Terry’s relationship with Kreese. When asked about how Terry might be different than when audiences last saw him, the actor says the character maintains the antagonistic glee that he’s known for. Griffith also acknowledges that Terry caring about the All Valley tournament is ridiculous, given that he’s a billionaire:

I really have no interest in repeating anything. So how do we round out a guy like that? How do we get back to what made this guy tick? What drove him inside and what would make him come back into this world? The [Cobra Kai] creators had really thought that out. With [Karate Kid Part III director] John Alvidsen, I’d be like, “This is a little over the top.” And he was like, “I want every little kid in America kicking you in the shins.” He just gave me free rein to run with it.

[Something] I think we’ve kept alive with Terry [on Cobra Kai] is bringing back that glee he has. He actually enjoys this — he’s this billionaire who will have all this going on and [still] go back to the small little world of a karate tournament in the Valley. It’s so absurd that it’s fantastic!

A recent trailer for Cobra Kai season 4 shows some of how Terry reenters the lives of Kreese, Daniel, and Johnny (William Zabka). It’s clear from the preview that Daniel isn’t quite over his past experiences with Terry, something that Kreese intends to make use of, using his military pal as a way of driving a wedge between Daniel and Johnny. The finale of Cobra Kai season 3 spends a lot of time developing the connection the two antagonists forged in difficult circumstances, and a bond that strong might just be the only thing that could stop a serious team-up of Johnny and Daniel.

But, right along with questions of who will emerge victorious in the all-important tournament, the show will keep up its trend of gently lampshading its own occasionally outlandish twists. Silver could even have morphed into something of a Mark Zuckerberg or Jeff Bezos type of billionaire in the decades since he was last on-screen and those real-life comparisons will provide plenty of opportunities for humor. In any case, with Cobra Kai season 4 debuting in a matter of weeks, viewers will soon be able to see how the long-awaited return of Terry unfolds.
