Cobra Kai Creator's Wild Time Travel Franchise Getting New Streaming Home 15 Years After Release

The Cobra Kai creator also worked on a time travel movie franchise that has gotten some recent news. The show is co-created by Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz, and Hayden Schlossberg. Cobra Kai is a Karate Kid spinoff TV series about Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence becoming martial-arts rivals again years later. It has done very well during its tenure on Netflix so far, where it has had five completed seasons. The last third of Cobra Kai season 6 is set for release on Netflix next year.

All three of its creators have also had careers outside of Cobra Kai, though the Netflix series is arguably their biggest show. All three of them worked on a raunchy comedy series called Obliterated, which was unfortunately nixed by Netflix after a single season. Heald, for example, has also worked on the movie comedy Mardi Gras: Spring Break in 2011. One of the writer’s first screenplay works will soon find a new streaming home.

The Hot Tub Time Machine Movies Are Coming To Max

The First Movie Came Out In 2010

Both Hot Tub Time Machine movies are coming to Max soon. The first of these comedy time travel movies was released almost 15 years ago, coming out in 2010. The first movie told the story of a man and his friends whose ski resort trip went awry as the supposedly relaxing hot tub was revealed to actually be a glitchy time machine that transported the group back to 1986, where they had to relive a night together. The goofy movie ended up getting a sequel in 2015, Hot Tub Time Machine 2. Heald served as a screenwriter on both movies.

The Hot Tub Time Machine movies feature Rob Coddry, Clark Duke, Craig Robinson, and Adam Scott in lead roles.

Now, the Hot Tub Time Machine movies are getting a new streaming home. Both movies will be arriving to Max in just over a week, coming to the platform on January 1, 2025. Fans of time travel movies or silly comedies in general will get a chance to watch both Hot Tub Time Machine and Hot Tub Time Machine 2 right at the start of the new year.

Why You Should Watch The Hot Tub Time Machine Movies On Max

The Second One Includes 2025

While neither Hot Tub Time Machine movie is exactly a critical darling, they are a creative twist on the time travel movie, which is generally relegated to science fiction. The second movie’s release to Max is particularly timely, as the 2015 film transports the hot tub goers, and viewers, 10 years into the future. This means that the film is primarily set in 2025. This makes Hot Tub Time Machine 2 the perfect New Year’s watch as it will be interesting to contrast the 2025 in 2015’s imagination with the real deal.
