There could still be a fair amount of Cobra Kai left to go once the third season premieres on Netflix on Friday, according to Ralph Macchio. The actor spoke with LAD Bible promoting the upcoming third run and said that the show’s creators have plans for the Karate Kid sequel series that run through at least season six.

“The writers have always felt they had six seasons in their head, where the story arcs can go,” he said. “So that should all land when the time is right. You don’t want to overstay your welcome, but the fans are having fun and there’s more story there. As long as we’re allowed to keep doing it, Billy and I are in.”

The show has already been renewed for a fourth season, with the third season described as follows and arriving on January 1st:

“Realizing their rivalry went too far, Daniel will team up with Johnny to mend the tension between the students. However, as Daniel’s car dealership begins to tank, he must return to Okinawa, Japan to promote his business. While there, he reunites with his old fling Kumiko, and ex-rival Chozen Toguchi. While Daniel and Chozen trade karate techniques, Johnny helps Miguel regain his strength after coming out of his coma. With Daniel and Johnny occupied, the students of Cobra Kai Dojo grow stronger and more violent as they more faithfully follow their merciless sensei, John Kreese.”
