Cobra Kaiis ready for one last dance, as Netflix confirmed theKarate Kidspinoff was renewed for a sixth and final season soon, which will hardly come as a surprise considering how successful the show has been.
Initially a YouTube Red production,Cobra Kai’s first two seasons were not Netflix originals. However, in the summer of 2020, the teen dramedy series moved to the streaming giant, where it got a massive boost in popularity that turned it into some of the most reliable content for Netflix. Since then, three moreCobra Kaiseasons have been released, and with rumors of moreKarate Kiduniverse contentmaking rounds, it looks like Josh Heald and Jon Hurwitz are ready to wrap things up.

With that in mind, Netflix dropped aCobra Kaifinal season teaser that features dialogue from Johnny Lawrence and Daniel LaRusso. The two characters ask the audience to tune in for the series' biggest and baddest season yet, with the question, “Do you have one more fight left in you?” The clip quickly got thousands of likes, and although no estimated release date was included at this stage, the announcement mentions thatCobra Kai’s sixth chapter will come soon.
TheCobra Kaishowrunners also released a statement thanking fans for their support. While no new footage is included in the video,Cobra Kaifans already know what it’s store after season 5 ended with Johnny, Daniel, and their students finally bringing down Terry Silver in what has undoubtedly been the show’s most exuberant showcase of karate action. Thepromise ofCobra Kairaising the stakesone more time should seem unlikely if not for the season 5 cliffhanger that saw John Kreese escape prison.
Cobra Kaiseason 5 wowed most viewers. The series momentarily held a perfect 100% critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes and eclipsed past entries on most review aggregators in the eyes of its fan base. As for the actual release date, last year Netflix abandoned its two-year tradition of droppingCobra Kaiaround the New Year celebrations. Despite season 5 only coming out in September, “coming soon” could mean the season 6 premiere is scheduled before summer.
Besides having Kreese as its main villain,Cobra Kaistill owes Tory Nichols, Anthony LaRusso, and Kenny Payne a lot. However, after nearly four decades, many could find saying their goodbyes to Johnny Lawrence and Daniel LaRusso an emotional ride they’re not ready for.
