If you love the Netflix show Cobra Kai, then you’ve probably heard the term “Binary Brothers.” It’s a nickname given to two of the show’s most loved characters—Eli “Hawk” Moskowitz and Demetri. These two started as nerdy outcasts in high school, but over time, they grew into strong and interesting characters. Fans quickly fell in love with their friendship and fun moments, calling them the Binary Brothers.
But there’s more. There’s talk of a new spinoff series that may focus only on Hawk and Demetri. Some people are calling it a Binary Brothers movie or show. Let’s look at why these characters are so popular and why their own show could be a big hit.
The Journey of Hawk and Demetri in Cobra Kai
In the beginning of Cobra Kai, Demetri and Eli were best friends who were often bullied at school. They were smart, liked video games and tech, and didn’t fit in with the cool crowd. Eli had a condition called a cleft lip, which made him feel even more out of place.
But things changed when they joined karate classes. Eli transformed into Hawk—a tough, mohawk-wearing fighter who didn’t take insults from anyone. Demetri stayed true to himself, but he also learned how to fight and became braver.
Even though they had some ups and downs, including a big fight between them, their friendship stayed strong. By the later seasons, they were working together again, using both brains and brawn. Fans loved watching them grow.
Why Are They Called the Binary Brothers?
The nickname “Binary Brothers” came from their shared love of tech and coding. In computer language, “binary” is a system made up of ones and zeroes. Since both Hawk and Demetri were nerdy and loved computers, the name fit perfectly. It also shows how opposite they can be, yet they still work great as a team—just like the ones and zeroes in code.
The name caught on with fans, and now it’s common to hear people online call them the Binary Brothers. Some even wish they had more screen time together.
The Idea for a Binary Brothers Spinoff
The creators of Cobra Kai—Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz, and Hayden Schlossberg—have talked about doing spinoffs in the past. One of the ideas they mentioned is a show or movie focusing on Hawk and Demetri in college.
Imagine this: the Binary Brothers go to Cal Tech, one of the top tech schools in the U.S. They work on cool robotics projects, maybe enter competitions, and of course, still do karate. One of the creators said it could be like a mix of the 1980s movie Real Genius and Cobra Kai. That sounds like a fun and exciting show.
While nothing has been confirmed yet, many fans are hoping this idea becomes real. A Binary Brothers series could be something fresh and different while still staying in the Cobra Kai world.
Why a Binary Brothers Show Would Be a Hit
There are many reasons why a Binary Brothers show could work:
- Strong Fan Base – Hawk and Demetri are already loved by many fans. A show just about them would attract viewers quickly.
- Fresh Setting – Moving the story to a college like Cal Tech would bring in new characters, challenges, and fun storylines.
- Balance of Action and Comedy – Like Cobra Kai, the spinoff could mix funny moments with serious fights and lessons.
- Tech Meets Karate – It’s a new twist. Watching two tech-savvy students deal with karate in a high-level school could be both cool and inspiring.
What Could Happen in the Show?
Here are some possible ideas that a Binary Brothers show could explore:
- College Life – Demetri and Hawk would face new challenges at school, both academic and social.
- New Rivals – Every good show needs a villain. Maybe they face a group of students who don’t like them or want to take them down.
- Robot Competitions – Since they love tech, they could build robots for contests. These events could be fun and exciting to watch.
- Friendship Challenges – College is hard. Their friendship could be tested in new ways.
- Karate Battles – Even though they’re at a tech school, karate could still play a big part. Maybe a new dojo opens nearby.
Will It Really Happen?
Right now, there’s no official news about a Binary Brothers spinoff. But the creators of Cobra Kai have said they want to grow the universe. So it’s very possible.
The actors, Jacob Bertrand (Hawk) and Gianni DeCenzo (Demetri), have also shown interest. Both have said they’d love to keep playing their roles. Fans are also very excited about the idea, which could push Netflix or another studio to say yes.
What the Fans Are Saying
If you check online, you’ll see that fans love the Binary Brothers. There are fan pages, memes, and video edits that show their best moments. Some fans say their friendship is one of the best parts of Cobra Kai.
Many are even creating their own ideas for the show. Some write fan fiction, while others make posters or trailers for a show that doesn’t exist—yet. That shows how powerful and popular these characters have become.
The Binary Brothers, Hawk and Demetri, started as side characters. But over time, they became fan favorites. Their journey from bullied kids to strong, smart, and loyal friends is inspiring.
A Binary Brothers spinoff would not only give fans more of what they love, but also bring a fresh and fun twist to the Cobra Kai story. Whether they’re coding robots, winning karate fights, or just hanging out, people want to see more of them.
So we’re hoping Netflix says yes. Until then, we can rewatch Cobra Kai and enjoy every moment of the Binary Brothers in action.
