Netflix subscribers might be worried to see only five episodes(Cobra Kai) available. Usually, a season has 10 episodes. Don’t worry, this isn’t all of Season 6. This season will be the longest. However, it’s split into three parts. Part 1 is out now. Part 2 will be on Netflix on November 20th with five more episodes. The final five episodes will be released sometime in 2025.
Returning cast members include Xolo Maridueña, Courtney Henggeler, Tanner Buchanan, Mary Mouser, Jacob Bertrand, Peyton List, Vanessa Rubio, Dallas Dupree Young, Alicia Hannah-Kim, Griffin Santopietro, Oona O’Brien, and Gianni DeCenzo. The show also features Karate Kid movie stars like Yuji Okumoto, Elisabeth Shue, Sean Kanan, Robyn Lively, and Tamlyn Tomita.
Favorite Karate Kids Are Back!
The first episodes of Cobra Kai’s sixth and final season are now on Netflix. This season starts after Season 5, where Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) and Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) finally defeated Terry Silver (Thomas Ian Griffith) with some help from John Kreese (Martin Kove).
The series, created by Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz, and Hayden Schlossberg, first aired on YouTube Red/YouTube Premium for two seasons before Netflix picked it up. Its popularity increased, although the first seasons are still considered the best. The show takes place decades after the 1984 All Valley Karate Tournament in The Karate Kid, with Johnny Lawrence and Daniel LaRusso back as rival karate instructors and a new generation of karate kids.
Longer Season
This season has 15 episodes to wrap up all the characters’ stories. Hayden Schlossberg explains, “We wanted to make sure every character gets their moment. No matter who your favorite is, they have a story this season.”
Because the season is long, we might not get all our answers until next year. But it’s great to see Miyagi-Do, Eagle Fang, and probably Cobra Kai too. As Josh Heald says, “Cobra Kai never dies.”
Kreese’s New Plan
“Kreese has always been tough,” Jon Hurwitz told Entertainment Weekly, “but he used to care a bit for Johnny. Now, he doesn’t. This makes Kreese even more dangerous. He’s working with Kim Da-eun, who wants to continue her grandfather’s traditions. They have known each other for a long time. It’s exciting for us to see them team up, but it’s bad news for Johnny and Daniel.”
