“Cobra Kai” Season 6: All About the Final Season of the Netflix Series

From the cast to the release date, here's what to know about the final season

Cobra Kai is kicking off its sixth and final season.

Netflix first announced the show’s renewal in January 2023, as creators Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg shared their thoughts on the "bittersweet" decision via Instagram.

"Reacquainting the world with the Karate Kid universe has been our humble honor," they wrote. "It has enabled us to play sensei, expanding the original storylines and birthing a new generation of underdogs. We've never once taken this opportunity for granted."

They continued, "Our Day 1 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. 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."

While only a handful of details have been announced so far, the teaser trailer released in January 2023 said fans can expect the "biggest" and "baddest" season yet.

Who is in the cast of Cobra Kai season 6?

It’s expected that most of the main cast will return, including William Zabka (Johnny), Ralph Macchio (Daniel), Xolo Maridueña (Miguel), Mary Mouser (Samantha), Jacob Bertrand (Eli), Tanner Buchanan (Robby), Peyton List (Tori), Gianni DeCenzo (Demetri), Courtney Henggeler (Amanda), Vanessa Rubio (Carmen) and Dallas Dupree Young (Kenny).

What will Cobra Kai season 6 be about?

According to the official description, season 6 picks up “with Cobra Kai eliminated from the Valley” and the Miyagi-Do Karate dojo senseis and students deciding “if and how they will compete in the Sekai Taikai — the world championships of karate.”

Netflix previously teased that the upcoming season would be the “biggest, baddest season yet,” noting that it will contain “lots of surprises."

When did Cobra Kai season 6 film?

During the Atlanta Comic Convention in February 2023, Macchio teased that production for season 6 was expected to start in May 2023. However, when May rolled around, Cobra Kai writer Jon Hurwitz revealed that the show’s writers were part of the WGA strike.

“We hate to strike, but if we must, we strike hard. Pencils down in the Cobra Kai writers room,” he wrote at the time. “No writers on set. These aren't fun times, but it's unfortunately necessary. The moment a fair deal is in place, we'll get back to kicking ass. In the meantime, sending strength and support to the negotiating committee.”

In January 2024, co-showrunner Jon Hurwitz teased that production was underway as he posted a photo of him and the rest of the Cobra Kai team having dinner together before kicking off filming with the caption, "The night before."

Is there a teaser trailer for Cobra Kai season 6?

In January 2023, Netflix shared a short teaser recapping the show’s past seasons as they announced Cobra Kai’s sixth and final season. A clip of the series was also shown in Netflix's teaser for their 2024 slate.

In May 2024, Netflix gave another look as they announced the release date for the upcoming season. A voice declaring "no mercy" launches the trailer into a sequence of characters gearing up to spar.

When will Cobra Kai season 6 be released?

The final season will be split into three parts, with the first part premiering on July 18, the second arriving on Thanksgiving Day and the third coming sometime in 2025.

The first five seasons of the show are currently available to stream on Netflix.
