Will There Be a Cobra Kai Season 6?
Season 6 is set to premiere in 2024 — however, it will be separated into three parts. The first part will premiere on July 18, with the second being released on November 28, and the last sometime in 2025.
Netflix first announced that season 6 of Cobra Kai would be its very last in an announcement video posted on January 20, 2023.
Mary Mouser, who plays Samantha LaRusso in the karate series, expressed her gratitude for the show via Instagram Stories shortly after season 6 news. “All of the emotions at once,” she wrote. “Truly could not be more grateful for the journey and for what is yet to come.”
What Has the Cobra Kai Cast and Crew Said About Season 6?
Prior to the show’s renewal in 2023, star Ralph Macchio spoke about season 6 during an interview with Us Weekly in September 2022.
“We’re feeling pretty good that we’ll get to continue the show and let it evolve and land when it needs to. These guys, Jon [Hurwitz], Josh [Heald] and Hayden [Schlossberg], who write this show, are just so great at [having] their finger on the pulse of what the fans want. They are the fans themselves.”
The Karate Kid actor assured that there is “more meat” and “plenty of places” to go for future seasons, including incorporating characters from the past. “Whether you bring in Tamlyn Tomita as Kumiko [in season 5 or] Elizabeth Shue in season 3. You [also] have Thomas Ian Griffith – what a great job he’s doing,” Ralph continued. “Karate Kid 3 was never, ever my favorite of those three movies. Now it’s bearing such great fruit and storytelling and refined versions of characters.”
In July 2022, Cobra Kai producer and creator Jon Hurwitz reassured fans that he had plans for what lies ahead for the series, saying simply in a tweet: “All I can say is that we expect more Cobra Kai to come and that the Miyagiverse is far from finished.”
