Keep your fighting stance for the sixth Cobra Kai season! Although Netflix has not confirmed the renewal of the Karate Kid series, it appears that it will only be a matter of time. Cobra Kai is one of the best Netflix shows and among the most popular series. The fifth season climbed to number one on the top ten list after debuting on September 9. Plus, season five has stalled with a major twist and the cliffhanger is just begging for a fix.
Cobra Kai follows former karate rivals Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) and Danielle Larseau (Ralph Macchio) as adults nearly 30 years after the events of the first film. They come into conflict again when Johnny reopens the old Cobra Kai Dojo to educate a new generation of students. Daniel restarts Miyagi-do in response, and their pupils clash on the mat and at school.
But in recent seasons, Johnny and Daniel unite against even more sadistic villains: old Sensei Johnny John Chris and business mogul Terry Silver. They get help from two of Daniel’s other former rivals, Chuzen Toguchi (Yuji Okumoto) and Mike Barnes (Sean Kanan).
As Season Six approaches, they’ll face a whole new challenge – and the re-emergence of an enemy they thought was long gone.
Here’s everything you need to know about the sixth season of Cobra Kai.
Speculations for the release date of the sixth season of Cobra Kai
Netflix has yet to renew Season 6 of Cobra Kai, although fans have no reason to worry as it is the streaming service’s most popular show.
We expect a renewal in the next few weeks. But we also wouldn’t be surprised if an announcement reveals that Season 6 of Cobra Kai is the final chapter, considering it’s all about the Sekai Taikai World Championship. This seems like the biggest stage in martial arts and it’s hard to imagine where future seasons could go.
So, once the renewal is official, when is the release date of Season 6 of Cobra Kai? Since the show moved from YouTube Red to Netflix, seasons have aired for a year or less. The wait between seasons 4 and 5 was only nine months!
However, it is unlikely that the sixth season premiere will take place soon. In fact, it can take more than a year, as the creators of the program are busy with other projects. John Horowitz recently chirp (Opens in a new tab)“Season 6 hasn’t been written yet. I’ll continue with that after filming a blur, but a lot of kick-off ideas have already started.”
Our guess is that Cobra Kai will arrive in the summer or fall of 2023.
Cobra Kai season 6 cast
All the main cast members are expected to return in the sixth season of Cobra Kai led by William Zabka as Johnny Lawrence And the Ralph Macchio as Daniel Larseau.
They must be joined by Martin Cove as John Kress, the former owner of the Cobra Kai and Johnny’s abusive mentor. Season 6 will likely reprise Yuji Okumoto as Chozen, Okinawa’s Miyagi-do benefactor.
The families of Johnny and Daniel should be in the mix too, including Courtney Hengler as Amanda Larsso (Daniel’s wife); Vanessa Rubio as Carmen Diaz (girlfriend of Johnny and mother of Miguel); Marie Moser as Samantha Larseau; Griffin Santopetro as Anthony Larseau; Tanner Buchanan as Robbie Keane; and Xolo Maridueña as Miguel Diaz.
We expect other major students and karate enthusiasts to return as well, including:
- Peyton List as Tory Nichols
- Jacob Bertrand as Eli “Hawk” Moskowitz
- Gianni Desenzo as Dimitri Alexopoulos
- Dallas Dupree Young as Kenny Payne
- Paul Walter Hauser as Raymond Porter “Stingray”
- Owen Morgan as Burt
- Una O’Brien as Devon Lee
- Aiden Minx as Mitch
- Joo Seo as Killer Park
Season 6 may return Sean Cannan as Mike Barnes, formerly the “bad boy of karate” who once worked for Terry Silver. As for this villain, we wouldn’t be at all surprised to see Thomas Ian Griffith again in the role of Silver – perhaps in prison.
The series has now drawn previous characters from three of the Karate Kid films – giving fans hope of seeing Hilary Swank reprise her role as Julie Pierce from The Next Karate Kid.
Co-author John Horowitz was very cautious about this topic in an interview with fandom (Opens in a new tab).
“All we can say about her is that we love Hilary Swank. We think she’s an amazing actress and we love her character in this franchise,” he said. “Mr. Miyagi taught her and she is an important person for the Karate Kid world. We cannot say if she will return, we cannot say how she will return if she will return.
“We can say we’ve been talking about her and maybe we’ve met her, maybe we’ve worked with her, maybe we haven’t. We can’t tell you anything! The question will continue until you show up or the series ends and we welcome the question every time!”
Explanation of the sixth season of the plot of Cobra Kai and the end of the fifth season
The fifth season finale of Cobra Kai features an epic showdown split into two parts. Johnny, Chosen, and Mike compete with Terry Silver and the sensational criminals at the Silver House, while the students of Miyagi Do/Eagle Fang storm Cobra Kai to pass footage that reveals Silver’s evil deeds to the world.
While Silver manages to cut Shozen on his back, Johnny can subdue the thugs with Mike’s help.
Meanwhile, Daniel races to the Cobra Kai Dojo, where his students (including his daughter Sam and son Anthony) quarrel with their enemies. The Miyagi-do kids can upload a video of Silver bribing a referee to award Tory a win over Sam at the All Valley Tournament.
Silver arrives on the scene and challenges Daniel to a karate duel. Fortunately, Daniel prevails. Cobra Kai students, disgusted with silver, throw away their uniforms. Johnny and Chosen appear, and they meet their friends and loved ones. Sam and Miguel kiss and makeup, as well as Robbie and Tori.
Behind bars, John Chris appears dead after being stabbed by a fellow prisoner. It turns out to be a hoax and the blood just melts the red jello. Chris knocks over the guards, takes the doctor’s coat, and uses a stolen permit to get the waltz out of prison. Cobra Kai really never dies.
In Season 6, Chris may seek revenge on Johnny and Daniel for tricking him into helping them fight Silver. It is likely that he will want to take back control of Cobra Kai. The dojo received entry to the Sekai Taikai Tournament, as did Miyagi-do / Eagle Fang. It’s unclear if Silver’s legal issues will prevent the Cobra Kai from competing, but Kreese may find a way to lead it instead.
Then again, many of the Cobra Kai students have left the dojo and may join the Miyagi-do/Eagle Fang (who needs to decide on a name).
Cobra Kai Season 6 may change students, while they continue their training to compete in Sekai Taikai.
Is the sixth season of Cobra Kai the last season?
It looks like Season 6 of Cobra Kai might be a natural ending place for the series, as the students compete in a world championship.
However, this program was recently co-created by Jon Hurwitz chirp (Opens in a new tab): “All I can say is that we expect more Cobra Kai to arrive and that the Miyagiverse is far from over.”
