All good things must come to an end, right, and so it goes with Netflix’s Cobra Kai. The streaming service announced they’ve renewed the popular Karate Kid sequel for a sixth and final season. There’s no word yet on when it will arrive, but series creators Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz, and Hayden Schlossberg promised it will be soon.
The trio also promised it will be the biggest and baddest season of them all.
The one-minute video announcement features Daniel LaRussa (Ralph Macchio) musing on his complicated past with Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka). “The training, the tournaments, the rivalries, the lessons…it hasn’t always been smooth. But after all this time we’ve built something together to be proud of,” says Daniel. Johnny replies, “So let me ask you, do you have one more fight left in you?”
Heald, Hurwitz, and Schlossberg composed a letter sharing their thoughts on the series, the fans, and the final season. They’ve always wanted to end the series on their own terms, and with the announcement of a sixth season, they’ll be able to bring the series to a fitting end. The letter also teased that there’s reason to hope for more Karate Kid stories in the future.
In addition to Ralph Macchio and William Zabka, the series stars Courtney Henggeler as Amanda LaRusso, Xolo Maridueña as Miguel Diaz, Tanner Buchanan as Robby Keene, Mary Mouser as Samantha LaRusso, and Jacob Bertrand as Hawk. Gianni Decenzo plays Demetri, Vanessa Rubio is Carmen, Peyton List is Tory, Martin Kove is John Kreese, Dallas Dupree Young is Kenny, Oona O’Brien is Devon, Griffin Santopietro is Anthony, and Thomas Ian Griffith plays Terry Silver.
Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz, and Hayden Schlossberg serve as writers and executive producers. Ralph Macchio, William Zabka, and Westbrook Entertainment’s Will Smith, James Lassiter, and Caleeb Pinkett also executive produce.
The renewal announcement did not include any details on Cobra Kai‘s sixth season’s plot.
