Cobra Kai Renewed For Sixth & Final Season

Netflix’s Cobra Kai is set to come to an end with its just-ordered sixth season. Netflix took to Twitter on Friday share an open letter from the Karate Kid series’ Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz, and Hayden Schlossberg in which they announce that the show has been renewed for a sixth run, which will be the show’s last.

The trio note that they have always wanted to “end it on our terms, leaving the Valley in the time and place we’ve always imagined. So it is with immense pride and thankfulness that we are able to announce that achievement.” They also take the time to thank “the great Robert Mark Kamen, John Avildsen, Jerry Weintraub, and the amazing original cast members” from the original franchise for creating the show, noting that it “has enabled us to play sensei, expanding the original storylines and birthing a new generation of underdogs. We’ve never once taken this opportunity for granted.”

Netflix also revealed a teaser for the upcoming season, which you can see below.

Cobra Kai has been a hit since it launched in 2018 on YouTube Red, though it was left without a home after YouTube stopped producing scripted programming. Netflix picked it up for a third season in 2020 and has been its home ever since.

It’s time to finish the fight.
