In the relatively short span of twenty months, we’ve seen the release of three seasons of Cobra Kai on Netflix, starting with season 3 in January 2021 and, most recently, the fifth season in September 2022. Of course, the creators have always teased that the show may only get to season 6. Speaking to Deadline about the possibility of a sixth season in early 2022, Hayden Schlossberg said: 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. Zabka: I’ve been on so many road trips because that's my favorite thing in the world. I would say one of the most memorable, fun road trips was going to the Grand Canyon when I was about 19 or 20 with a bunch of my buddies in my dad's 1970 Volvo station wagon.

Hurwitz has been keen to point out that Netflix didn’t decide to bring the show to an end rather, the creators did. In a Tweet on February 27th, Hurwitz said:SAG-AFTRA concluded their strike in early November 2023 and since then, it’s understood that Cobra Kai season 6 begins production in early 2024. More to come on this. As for returning cast members, as you may know, Cobra Kai has an extensive cast list with most expected to reprise their roles.

We’ve also asked two Cobra Kai superfans, The Cobra Kai Kid and Watch Party, for their predictions on what to expect from the sixth season. Big thanks to the fans for getting us to the finish line. Now get ready for one final round and lots of big surprises along the way.”But Season 4 was released on the first of January, so that might explain the difference (people have time off around Christmas). “ As we covered in our September 14th Top 10 report (which uses CVE metrics), the show lagged behind the fourth season.
