“I just got the script for the last season, starting in January, and I just got the first script,” shared Henggeler, adding an extra layer of suspense by admitting her own lack of insight into what lies ahead. For fans eager to uncover the fate of their beloved characters, the journey promises to be a rollercoaster of emotions.
Season 5, released on Netflix in September 2022, left viewers with several unresolved plotlines. Notably, the collaboration between former rivals Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) and Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) in thwarting Kreese and Silver’s schemes introduced new dynamics and tensions. The stakes are high as the upcoming season is expected to address the aftermath of Kreese’s prison escape and the impending showdown between Miyagi-Do and Eagle Fang dojos.
As Cobra Kai heads into its grand finale, the show has paved the way for an extended Karate Kid universe. Apart from the Netflix series, a parallel Karate Kid reboot is in development. This reboot involves the reunion of Ralph Macchio and Jackie Chan from the 2010 iteration, promising a fresh narrative on the East Coast with a focus on a Chinese teen discovering strength through martial arts and mentorship.
While the end of Cobra Kai is on the horizon, the creators have hinted at potential spin-offs within the Miyagi-verse. In an interview with Collider, the showrunners expressed their enthusiasm for exploring new ideas even after Cobra Kai concludes. “We will never give actual closure when it comes to anything,” said showrunner Josh Heald, indicating the open-ended nature of the Cobra Kai universe.
The journey towards Season 6 faced setbacks due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, causing delays in the production timeline. However, the showrunners, including Heald, Jon Hurwitz, and Hayden Schlossberg, have been diligently working on the script since the conclusion of the strikes. The team is gearing up for a production kick-off in the new year and has promised fans the “biggest, boldest season” yet.
As for the release date, nothing official has been confirmed, but the creative minds behind Cobra Kai express their hope for a 2024 debut, barring any unforeseen industry disruptions. The eagerness to deliver a satisfying conclusion to fans who have patiently waited is palpable.

The Cobra Kai creators are also keeping the door open for potential spin-offs. “We’re really excited about Cobra Kai Season 6. We’re gonna go out with a bang, and it’s gonna be an amazing experience for fans of the franchise,” remarked Heald, leaving room for future exploration within the rich world they’ve crafted.
As Cobra Kai Season 6 embarks on its production journey, fans can expect a thrilling conclusion, packed with intense martial arts action, emotional resolutions, and, of course, the timeless rivalry between Johnny Lawrence and Daniel LaRusso. The countdown to the final showdown has officially begun.
