‘Cobra Kai’ Season 6: Details on the Cast, Trailer, Release Date & More

I have some kicking good news for Cobra Kai fans (with a little bit of bad news sprinkled in...).

Netflix announced that the action series has been renewed for season six. But sadly, this will be the show’s final season. Last year, the streaming service released the official announcement video across its social media platforms, which included a “highlight reel” of the biggest moments from the show.

Understandably, fans (like myself) aren’t ready to bid farewell to the cast of the martial arts drama. But on a brighter note, there’s plenty to look forward to with Cobra Kai season six on the horizon. From the release date to the trailer, keep scrolling for details.

Netflix confirmed that season six is a go by releasing a short trailer last year. The streaming platform teased that this season will be the series’ “biggest and baddest” one to date, featuring a few highlights from the decades-long karate saga.

Series creator Jon Hurwitz promised the final season will address unanswered questions—plus, it’ll leave room for a potential spin-off. “We’ve also added so many characters to the mix and storylines to the mix that it’s constantly evolving what this final season is going to be,” Hurwitz said (according to UPI). “We are taking ourselves to places in the finale that we think are going to be fun, surprising and exciting.”

Unfortunately, yes. Series creators Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg confirmed the news in a special letter to fans. They took a moment to celebrate the Cobra Kai series and revealed that it’s been a pleasure to continue the story of Danny LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence. 

The letter read, "Our day one goal with Cobra Kai has always been to end it on our terms, leaving the valley in the time and place we've always imagined. So, it is with immense pride and thankfulness that we are able to announce that achievement. The upcoming season six will mark the conclusion of Cobra Kai."

It continued, “While this may be a bittersweet day for the fandom, the Miyagiverse has never been stronger. This fandom is the BEST on the planet and we hope to be telling more Karate Kid stories with you down the line. Because as we all know, Cobra Kai Never Dies.”
