The actress dismissed the question with a laugh during the TCA but that just adds to the intrigue.





Hilary Swank is all set to foray back to television with a crime drama thats already piquing the interest of viewers across the country.  Alaska Daily is the latest thriller on the block that deals with the story of a disgraced journalist who investigates the death of a woman abducted as a teen. Her finds reveal that there is more than just one person missing and that its more than a cold case.



Amid news of this is also the swirling rumor of her being part of  Cobra Kai. The official synopsis reads From the mind of Tom McCarthy Spotlight Alaska Daily stars Hilary Swank as Eileen Fitzgerald a fiercely talented and award winning investigative journalist who leaves her high-profile New York life behind after a fall from grace to join a daily metro newspaper in Anchorage on a journey to find both personal and professional redemption.



It also adds: Tom McCarthy is the creator and executive producer. Hilary Swank Melissa Wells Bert Salke Kyle Hopkins  Anchorage Daily News Ryan Binkley  Anchorage Daily News and Peter Elkoff who will also serve as showrunner are executive producers on the series. The pilot episode is written and directed by Tom McCarthy.


Swanks rumored cameo appearance on the hit Netflix martial arts dramedy has been doing the rounds now but it was the actresss latest comments during the TCA presentation that added more substance to her role. While promoting her upcoming ABC series Alaska Daily she was asked about being part of the Miyagiverse to which she replied I was told that I’m supposed to only keep it to Alaska Daily  so I guess that question is for another time with a laugh.



Cobra Kai Season 5 premiered earlier this month on September 9 and is all set for a sixth season as well. There has been confirmation from show star Ralph Macchio that certain scenes for the next installment have already been filmed. Not only does this confirm that the show is on for a new season but also that production has begun on the floor.  Theres stuff that they wrote in Season 3 that did not happen until Season 4 cause there was not any more room in Season 3. Theres stuff that was in Season 5 that we know we shot that is being held for the future if we get that green light  so theres more to come we hope.
