Cobra Kai season 6 release date, plot, cast, teaser and rumors
The charming and silly sequel to the cult classic Karate Kid film series is coming to an end. Dojos from the Valley are closing their doors with the sixth season of Cobra Kai. Before that happens, Johnny Lawrence, Danny Larusso, their families and friends must face one last challenge: the big karate tournament that will be the main event of the coming season.
The show’s sixth season will be its last. But don’t worry, the makers have planned a beautiful farewell for the Valley’s favorite warriors.
In season 5, the conflict between the dojos entered a decisive phase: a real arms race began. Daniel recruited his former rival Chozen Toguchi, while Terry Silver brought in the ruthless Korean sensei Kim Da-Eun. Of course, the season was filled with clashes between the teen heroes, especially between Robby and Miguel, and the lingering tension between Daniel and Johnny.
Despite everything, the characters underwent significant changes. They finally learned to work together, forgive mistakes and master their weaknesses. Will it help them fight their enemies? How will the whole saga end?
Here’s everything we know about the final season of Cobra Kai.
When will Cobra Kai season 6 come out?
The sixth season of Cobra Kai will consist of 15 episodes. They appear in three parts on Netflix. Here is the release schedule:
- Part 1 (5 episodes): Thursday July 18, 2024
- Part 2 (5 episodes): Thursday November 28, 2024
- Part 3 (5 episodes): 2025
There are pros and cons to having a staggered final season. On the plus side, it gives fans time to say goodbye to the show properly. However, it can make it difficult to follow the plot.
Let’s not forget that production on Season 6 has encountered significant difficulties along the way.
On May 2, 2023, screenwriters represented by the Writers Guild of America went on strike. A strike was also announced by the Screen Actors Guild on July 13, 2023.
The team working on Cobra Kai also joined the picket line and production of the show was halted. As showrunner of the series, Jon Hurwitz wrote on social media:
The strike ended in late fall 2023, and many film crews resumed work shortly afterwards. In February 2024, good news came from the makers of Cobra Kai, who announced the extension of filming for season 6.
Cobra Kai season 6 plot
The sixth part of Cobra Kai will be the final chapter. In the open letter published in January 2023, the show’s creators – Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg – summarized the years of creating Cobra Kai and announced the saga’s grand finale, as well as possible spin -offs:
Cobra Kai season 5 excited viewers and revealed information about the Sekai Taikai – the world’s largest karate tournament, which Terry Silver plans to win. Unfortunately, we didn’t have a chance to attend the famous match, but we’re sure that Sekai Taikai will be the main focus of Season 6.
A few months ago, the showrunners of Cobra Kai gave an interview to Variety. While they didn’t provide any details, creator Josh Heald hinted at what we can expect in the upcoming season:
The fact that a baby is on the way is certainly a crucial bit of growth for Johnny Lawrence and a big evolutionary leap for his relationships with Miguel, Robby, and Carmen.
Co-creator Hayden Schlossberg added:
Meanwhile, there’s the ultimate Cobra Kai snake… We’ll see if life comes easy in season 6, or if Kreese has a say. Something tells me it will be the latter.
It is uncertain whether Schlossberg was referring to Terry Silver as the most dangerous snake, who was arrested at the end of season 5, or whether he was referring to John Kreese, who was released. Given Silver’s determination, cynicism and wealth, there is no doubt he will get out of prison. As for Kreese, he could choose a quieter life, but knowing him, that’s not likely. So, will they both attack Daniel and Johnny’s dojo in season 6?
Cobra Kai season 6 cast
In the upcoming season, we can expect the main cast to return:
- Ralph Macchio – Daniel LaRusso
- William Zabka –Johnny Lawrence
- Martin Kove –John Kreese
- Thomas Ian Griffith – Terry Silver
- Yuji Okumoto – Elected Toguchi
- Xolo Mariduena –Miguel Diaz

The big question is: who from the old cast of the Karate Kid franchise will return this time? The only star who hasn’t made a comeback yet is Hilary Swank. Let’s keep our fingers crossed that we bring Julie Pierce back into the story.
