Now, it looks like that streaming success is expanding out to other titles that feature stars from the hit Karate Kid sequel series. Peyton List, who has starred in Cobra Kai as Tory since the show’s second season, leads the cast of a new crime thriller that has been slowly climbing the Netflix movie charts.

American Boogeywoman has been a fixture of the Netflix Top 10 Movies list over the last week or so. Thursday’s edition of the list, which shows the most popular titles on the streamer over the course of 24 hours, has American Boogeywoman all the way up at number three on the movie rankings.
