Exclusive: Cobra Kai creators, executive producers and showrunners Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg and Josh Heald have signed a big new four-year overall deal with the studio behind the hit Karate Kid sequel series, Sony Pictures Television.

Television producers have long used their medium as a tool to push progressive thinking on such nuanced topics as interracial dating, queer acceptance and abortion into everyday American households. But what about storytelling that makes these creators and their supporters point the finger inward at their own shortcomings and failures to act?
This year, as a result of increased publicity for Black Lives Matter and other similar movements, several Emmy contenders have had honest conversations about race in their writers’ rooms and on screen. These depictions include the obvious outward kind, as well as the internal biases that live within us all.
Christina M. Kim, co-showrunner for the CW’s martial-arts drama “Kung Fu,” says her program had an added layer of need to cover the matter because “our show, is about a Chinese American family and a lot of it takes place within the Chinese-American community.”
As co-showrunner Robert Berens reminds,...

John Clarence Stewart got to explore the many shades of Simon in Season 2 of “Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist.” The character experiences systemic racism at the Sprq Point offices and vocalizes his concerns, causing tension within the company. He also explores his relationship with Zoey (Jane Levy) further, leading to complicated feelings. But after all that navigating of his personal and professional life, he is ultimately in a better place and more confident in his place in the world. “There’s a lot of emotion, there’s a lot of passion, there’s a lot of activism, but at the end of all of those moments is this unabashed, unashamed joy,” says Stewart in an exclusive new interview for Gold Derby. “I was longing for more of that from Simon in the first season and I’m so happy that we got the opportunity to show that side of him.” Watch the exclusive interview above.

It’s been eight years since the song “The Fox (What Does the Fox Say?)” was released, and it took roughly eight years to get it out of our heads. But then came last week’s episode of “Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist.” Thanks to a glitch in Zoey’s (Jane Levy) power, Simon (John Clarence Stewart) brought it to life once again and it may live on another eight years. And for that, Stewart has just one sentiment: “You know what…sorry not sorry?”
Of course, Stewart can say that a little more flippantly because he had actually never heard of the 2013 viral Ylvis hit until learning he had to perform it. “I looked it up and I was like, ‘That looks like a weird song. Sorry for whoever has to sing that one.’ And sure enough, it’s me!” Stewart told TheWrap, chuckling. But in the end, he was more...
