“Now, we’re finally on the same page.” Those are the famous last words of Cobra Kai as it prepares to enter its final chapter.

Picking up with Cobra Kai eliminated from the Valley, Season 6 sees the senseis and students decide if and how they will compete in the Sekai Taikai — the world championships of karate. With Cobra Kai founder John Kreese (Martin Kove) back in play, Daniel (Ralph Macchio) and Johnny’s (William Zabka) students will be preparing for a grand final challenge.

The first part – comprising five episodes – will premiere on 18th July, with Part 2 arriving on 24th November and Part 3 landing in 2025. Here’s the trailer to give you an idea of what’s coming:

 

Cobra Kai: Season 6 to be released in three parts

4th May 2024

“We’re not giving up without a fight…” Those are the words of Cobra Kai returning for its final season – and it will be bowing it with an epic marathon split into three parts over a year.

Picking up with Cobra Kai eliminated from the Valley, the senseis and students must decide if and how they will compete in the Sekai Taikai — the world championships of karate. With Cobra Kai founder John Kreese (Martin Kove) back in play, Daniel (Ralph Macchio) and Johnny’s (William Zabka) students will be preparing for a grand final challenge.

It will kick off on 18th July with the first five episodes, followed by Part 2’s five episodes on 24th November. Part 3, comprising the last five episodes, will arrive at an unconfirmed date in 2025.

 

Cobra Kai to end with Season 6

21st January 2023

“We’ve been fighting against each other, with each other… It’s hard to keep track.” That’s the sound of Cobra Kai officially getting the nod for a sixth season – but that season will also be its last.

The series, a sequel to The Karate Kid, sees Ralph Macchio and William Zabka reprise their roles from the 1980s sports classic as arch-rivals Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence – along with Martin Kove as sensei John Kreese. Several decades older, with the events of the 1984 All Valley Karate Tournament a distant memory, Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) lives with his beautiful family, while running a successful string of car dealerships, and Lawrence (William Zabka), whose life has taken a rocky turn, seeks redemption by reopening the infamous Cobra Kai karate dojo, promising to teach local kids how to fight with “a method of fighting your pansy-ass generation desperately needs”.

Written and executive produced by Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg, the show was a hit for YouTube’s original programming, before jumping to Netflix for a third season, fourth and fifth season. They stepped up the stakes, with Kreese and Terry Silver (Thomas Ian Griffith, reprising his role from The Karate Kid Part III) twisting the Cobra Kai philosophy into something more dangerous. Season 5, which debuted last year, then saw Daniel turn to one more familiar face to help: Chozen Toguchi (Yuji Okumoto, who briefly appeared in Season 3).

Now, after five rounds, Netflix has confirmed that the show will be back for one last bout. The creators announced the news in an open letter to fans, saying they should “strap in for the BIGGEST SEASON OF COBRA KAI YET” and saying that the news is a “celebration of all that’s come, as well as all that’s still left to be told”.
