Netflix has revealed via the first look images that the William Zabka starrer Cobra Kai season six’s part two has snagged Mortal Kombat actor Lewis Tan to play Sensei Wolf. However, he is not the only new addition to the series. Joining the karate force with Sensei Wolf are his two disciples, Patrick Luwis and Rayna Vallandingham, who will play Axel Kovacevic and Zara Malik, respectively. 

While Tan’s experience in martial arts-related projects does bring the action element to look forward to, it also takes the anticipation of the upcoming Sekai Taikai tournament up by a notch. Since these two new students will also take part in the tournament, it remains to be seen if the battle leaves fans gasping for breath as it did with Zabka’s teasers.
