During an interview with Variety, Mariduena shared her thoughts on landing the role at this point in her life.

“I’ve been lucky enough to build chemistry with these people over the years on Cobra Kai. Trying to recreate that chemistry in a much shorter time is going to be tough, but all of these guys are professionals. I know I’m in the hands of people who are the best at what they do. The opportunity at Cobra Kai has truly blessed me; I can do stunts, we can do crazy stuff. Adding this new level of green screen and combinations and CGI and all of that will add a whole new crazy level that I’m so excited for.
