The sixth and final season will be split into three parts, with each part containing five episodes. The second batch will be released on November 28, 2024, and the third in 2025. The streaming giant has announced that the final season of the popular series will consist of 15 episodes

The New Challenges in Season 6
The series now sees the group Cobra Kai eliminated from the Valley — and a new challenge emerging as the senseis and students train for the Sekai Taikai, the world championships of karate. With the international Sekai Taikai tournament looming on the horizon, we bet Sensei Kim will do anything to see a few of her family’s style represented on the mat. Just when Sensei Kim was getting used to running Cobra Kai with Terry Silver, he got arrested for his past crimes. However, it’s unlikely she will return home and retreat; Kim’s cleaner reputation may even help convince students like Kyler to rejoin the dojo.
A Modern Take on a Classic Franchise
Cobra Kai is a spin-off of The Karate Kid franchise and follows the story of Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka), who is at rock-bottom as an unemployed handyman haunted by his wasted life. However, when Johnny rescues bullied kid Miguel from tormentors, he is inspired to restart the notorious Cobra Kai dojo. The series is set 34 years after Daniel LaRusso’s (Ralph Macchio) victory over Johnny Lawrence in the 1984 All-Valley Karate Tournament.
The Returning Cast and Characters
The remarkable cast includes main characters such as Ralph Macchio as Daniel LaRusso, William Zabka as Johnny Lawrence, and Courtney Henggeler as Amanda LaRusso. Additionally, Mary Mouser portrays Samantha LaRusso, Tanner Buchanan is Robby Keene, and Xolo Maridueña plays Miguel Diaz. We can also expect appearances from Cobra Kai legends like Martin Kove (John Kreese), Yuji Okumoto (Chozen), Alicia Hannah-Kim (Sensei Kim), and more.
Leading Figures Behind Cobra Kai
Cobra Kai is executive produced by Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg, and Josh Heald. They also serve as the show’s creators and showrunners
. Macchio and Zabka also executive produce alongside Will Smith, James Lassiter, Caleeb Pinkett, and Susan Ekins through Sony Pictures Television. Their combined expertise has shaped Cobra Kai’s unique blend of comedy, drama, and action.
Release Structure of Season 6
The final season’s ambitious three-part release aims to deliver an epic conclusion to this much-loved saga. As revealed earlier this year during the Netflix Is A Joke Festival: The final season will consist of 15 episodes, split into three five-episode blocks.
This new structure is sure to keep fans eagerly anticipating each segment.
