Cobra Kai, the popular Netflix series serving as a sequel to the Karate Kid films, is gearing up for its sixth and final season, with 15 episodes divided into three parts.
Part 1 (5 episodes) will premiere on July 18, 2024, marking Netflix's first three-part series ever, with Part 2 following in November 2024, and Part 3 scheduled for 2025.
The season will explore the conflict between Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) and Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka), more than 30 years after the 1984 All Valley Karate Tournament.
The trailer teases tension between older and younger generations: Miguel plans to compete against Robby Keene, and Daniel and Chozen uncover a mysterious box containing Mr. Miyagi's secrets found under his dojo floor. Kreese's return as the sensei of a rival dojo after faking his own death to escape prison. Daniel warns Johnny not to jeopardize the balance of teaching both karate styles.
The Sekai Taikai karate world championship offers one final chance to save the Valley. The season includes the series' biggest battle yet, with Daniel, Johnny, and Chozen Toguchi leading a supersquad of combined Miyagi-Do and Eagle Fang students.
The returning cast includes Xolo Maridueña, Jacob Bertrand, Mary Mouser, Tanner Buchanan, Martin Kove, and familiar faces from The Karate Kid franchise.
The show is created and executive produced by Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz, and Hayden Schlossberg, with Ralph Macchio, William Zabka, Will Smith, James Lassiter, and Caleeb Pinkett also serving as executive producers. Sony Pictures Television produces.
All seasons of the Karate Kid spinoff sequel series Cobra Kai are available on Netflix, and an official new poster has also been released for season 6.
An official Cobra Kai board game is coming soon.
