Cobra Kai Star Has a Movie Rising Through the Netflix Ranks

By Charlie Ridgely

Cobra Kai has been performing steadily as one of the most popular titles in the streaming world since its fourth season premiered on Netflix on New Year's Eve. 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.

Initially released in October 2021, American Boogeywoman tells the story of Aileen Wuornos, the most notorious female serial killer in United States history. This film tells the story of the killer's early adult years in the late 1970s, with List starring in the titular role. Charlize Theron famously won an Oscar for portraying Wuornos in the 2003 film Monster.
