Cobra Kai co-creator Josh Heald says The Next Karate Kid star Hilary Swank ultimately turned down a chance to make an appearance on the show – and I’d be lying if I said my heart didn’t hurt.
“We did reach out in the very early days before the season to see if there was a path [for her to appear],” Heald told IndieWire. “We had an inkling of an idea about how she could come into this story and not have to commit to 10 episodes or something.”
“She didn’t want us to go through the trouble of flying out to her and putting our heart on the sleeve, because it just wasn’t something she was ready to do at that moment,” Heald said. “On her end, it was very respectful, but we never got that opportunity to sit down and pour our heart out the way that we typically do when we bring back characters from the legacy.”
