Cobra Kai season 6's timeline placement has been confirmed, and it makes the show's age problem for its younger cast and characters even worse.
Cobra Kai season 6's timeline has been confirmed, and it makes the show's age problem even worse. The Karate Kid sequel show continued the stories of Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence over 30 years after the original movie. While it focuses on their renewed rivalry and the relationship that is formed from it, Cobra Kai also revolves around a group of new, younger karate students that they teach. This has allowed the franchise to introduce several new high school-age characters that have become fan favorites, including Miguel, Robbie, Sam, Tory, Hawk, and more.
The first five seasons of Cobra Kai have shown how the characters' lives have changed so much. However, the series developed a problem with the cast and characters' ages by using a condensed timeline. Four years of real-time passed between seasons 1 and 5, but the show has operated as if barely a year has passed for the characters. The series creators have since confirmed Cobra Kai season 6 begins one year after season 2's events. This reveal means that the age problem with the Cobra Kai timeline is only getting worse in season 6.

With most of the show's younger characters still only 17 years old, the Cobra Kai age gap has continued to increase. Miguel actor Xolo Maridueña is going to be 22 by the time Cobra Kai season 6 films, while Tanner Buchanan (Robbie) will be 24, Peyton List (Tory) will be 26, and Mary Mouser (Sam) will be 27. The significant age gaps - some as big as a decade - make it more difficult to believe that these people are high school students.
