Time to claim your favorite dojo because Cobra Kai is officially returning for a new season. We’ve been tracking all the big news about Cobra Kai season 6, and luckily, there’s been another development to share with fans.
The beloved nostalgia-filled comedy last added new episodes in September 2022, and with the months going by without a renewal announcement, fans were starting to get nervous. But fortunately, Netflix has given the series the greenlight and they’re calling this the “biggest” and “baddest” season. It’ll also mark the final season.
Cobra Kai is a sequel spinoff to the classic Karate Kid movies, with many of the original cast members reprising their roles. Ralph Macchio and William Zabka star opposite one another as Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence, respectively, over 30 years after the first film. Now fathers, the two have different perspectives than they did as kids, but they still butt heads now and then.We’re updating this story as we learn more information. The latest update was on Monday, Feb. 27, 2023.
Does Cobra Kai season 6 have a release date?
Cobra Kai season 6 does not have a release date just yet. We probably won’t know the release date for a while, but there’s been an interesting wrinkle to share with fans.According to fans who attended the Cobra Kai panel at Atlanta Comic-Con in February 2023, Ralph Macchio revealed production on Cobra Kai season 6 starts in May 2023.
Unfortunately, Netflix has not confirmed the start of production in May yet, but that’s not out of the ordinary. Netflix usually waits until production officially starts before revealing important news like this to fans.As we’ve seen with other seasons of the series, the cast and crew can work pretty quickly on this show. We’ve seen shorter gaps between Cobra Kai seasons than we’ve seen for pretty much every other Netflix show.Still, if production starts in May, we have to assume that lasts through the summer and into the fall. With post-production, we’re looking at late 2023 or early 2024 for the release date.
At this time, a late 2023 release date is almost out of the question with production starting that late in the year. It might be too late for a 2023 release anyway. Plus, Cobra Kai season 6 is going to be the final season of the series. Netflix is going to roll out the season during a time when it can stand alone and shine, and I don’t think Christmas or New Year’s Eve/Day would be that time.For now, expect to see Cobra Kai season 6 in the spring of 2024.
