Eighties nostalgia is alive and well in Hollywood, it seems! Not only did Peacock TV recently reboot the beloved Punky Brewster and Saved by the Bell series to much fanfare, but Fred Savage is currently executive producing a reimaging of his hit show The Wonder Years, and the eagerly anticipated third season of Netflix’s Karate Kid-inspired Cobra Kai hit the streaming giant at the start of the year, immediately securing the No. 1 spot. The latter, which debuted in 2018 and is set 34 years after Daniel Larusso (Ralph Macchio) defeated Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) in the 1984 All Valley Karate Championship at the end of the first film, sees the two adversaries on opposite sides of the mat yet again, this time as adults, and has proved highly popular with audiences. And now, the house where a grown-up Daniel lives with his wife and children on the series is up for sale!
