In November 2021 Netflix released a series of images from the highly anticipated show’s fourth season. One photo showed Daniel sitting with Anthony on the couch. It shows the youngest LaRusso sibling will have a more significant role in the upcoming season.
While answering fan questions on Twitter, one of the show’s creators, Jon Hurwitz, shared more information about Anthony’s season 4 storyline. “How satisfying was it when there was such a positive response to the Anthony promo pic?” asked the Commentator.
Hurwitz responded to that by saying:
“We’ve always loved Anthony and were waiting for the right time to dig deeper in his story. So glad that time has come and that fans are excited to see it! #CobraKai”

Griffin Santopietro spoke about playing Anthony during an April 2021 interview with “Cobra Kai Nation”. He shared how he was able to secure a role in such an iconic franchise. The actor stated he was around the age of 11 when he auditioned for the character.
Santopietro disclosed he did not expect the show to become such a success. During the interview, the 16-year-old also discussed his first interactions with his “Cobra Kai” cast mates during the production of season 1. He revealed that between shooting scenes, he was able to have conversations with his co-stars.
The teenager also noted that he is interested in working in other fields in the entertainment industry. During quarantine him and his friend did some writing. He said he still does it and thinks of it as a hobby for now. He said that maybe in future he would dive deeper into writing and then can do something with it.
