Cobra Kai never dies , but it is coming to an end . Netflix just declare that thehit Karate Kid spinoff showhas been renewed for a 6th time of year , which will also be its last . But show creatorsJon Hurwitz , Hayden Schlossberg , and Josh Healdsimultaneously relinquish a letter letting fans roll in the hay : this isexactly how they desire to do it .
“ Our Clarence Shepard Day Jr. - one goal with Cobra Kai has always been to end it on our terms , impart the Valley in the time and place we ’ve always imagined,”the trio said in a command . “ So it is with immense pride and thankfulness that we are capable to declare that accomplishment . The upcoming season six will pit the conclusion of Cobra Kai . ” Here ’s a brief teaser .
“ While this may be a semisweet day for the fandom , the Miyagiverse has never been stronger , ” the statement continues . “ This fandom is the better on the planet and we trust to be telling more Karate Kid level with you down the line . Because as we all know , Cobra Kai never dies . ”

“ In the meantime , strap in for the biggest season of Cobra Kai yet . And rent today be a solemnisation of all that ’s come , as well as all that ’s still result to be told . We could n’t do it without you . We made it . Strike first , take up hard , no mercy . ”
First of all , this construct a batch of horse sense . The fifth season ended with pretty much the ultimate Karate Kid reunification as all the bad cat from the original trilogy team up to take down the vicious Terry Silver . But also , season five set up a huge finale in the class of the Sekai Taikai , an external karate tourney that all of the dojos in the show qualify for . That means for season six , Cobra Kai is going outside .
Plus there are still a few mysteries to uncover . Like , what ’s John Kresse going to do now that he ’s escaped from prison ? And , of course , the whereabouts of Julie Pierce , Hilary Swank ’s character from The Next Karate Kid . She was Mr. Miyagi ’s only other American student that we know of , and the producer have been ask about a possible cameo for years . Even if the Oscar victor does n’t show up , for certain Julie will be a part of this season .
Then there ’s that one weird aside in the command : “ We trust to be tell more Karate Kid tarradiddle with you down the line . ” Will temper six set up more stories ? And is n’t therea very occult Karate Kid movie coming outin 2024 that these guys said they had nothing to do with ? Maybe that was just some deviation .
Nevertheless , it ’s a sad day but also a serious twenty-four hour period for Cobra Kai fans — and now that the ending is in mickle , there ’s enough more fun to be had . Cobra Kai time of year six does n’t have a exit date , but we ’d imagine sometime in early 2024 is a good bet .
