Netflix has just announced the release schedule for the sixth and final season of Cobra Kai via a neat video collage of events from the hit Karate Kid series revival.
While that’s not a traditional trailer, it does reveal crucial information, such as the fact that the upcoming final season will come out in a rather unexpected manner.
Cobra Kai Season 6 release schedule
The final season will be composed of 15 episodes and is divided into three parts.
- Part 1, which will be released on July 18.
- Part 2, which will be released on November 28.
- Lastly, The Finale Event, which will be released at an unannounced date in 2025.
We have no information on how the 15 episodes will be split between the three parts.
Cobra Kai Season 6 plot
The final season takes place after the arrest of Terry Silver, and will bring John Kreese back as the main villain after his Hannibal Lecter-esque prison escape. It seems like the series is returning to its roots, as Kreese has brought back Cobra Kai in the final attempt to defeat Daniel LaRusso’s Miyagi Do and Johnny Lawrence’s Eagle Fang Karate schools.
The Karate Kid sequel had its humble beginnings as a comedic YouTube series that brought fans up to speed with the modern-day lives of Johnny Lawrence and Daniel LaRusso. However, it became a hit of such magnitude that it grew to accommodate pretty much the entire cast of the movie series, and a whole new generation of kids who are — in the series’ own words — inexplicably too much into Karate. You can witness the beginning of the end on July 18.
Is this the end of Karate Kid?
If Cobra Kai has sparked or reignited your interest in the Karate Kid series, you can also stay tuned for the upcoming Karate Kid movie. While connections to Cobra Kai are sadly unconfirmed, we know It’ll be a sequel to both the original film and the 2010 remake, and both Ralph Macchio and Jackie Chan are set to make a return. The new Karate Kid movie was originally set to release in 2024, but the studio currently has no set date.
