Here’s everything you need to about Season 6 of Cobra Kai, the next chapter of Netflix’s Karate Kid, including its possible release date, cast members, and plot.

Cobra Kai Season 5 arrived on Netflix in September 2022, ushering in an exciting new chapter for Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) and Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka).

Joining them on their quest to overthrow Terry Silver is Karate Kid Part II villain-turned-hero, Chozen Toguchi (Yuji Okumuto).

However, it seems the Karate Kid saga isn’t over just yet – here’s everything you need to know about Cobra Kai Season 6.

Is there a Cobra Kai Season 6 release date?

Cobra Kai Season 6 doesn’t have an official release date. That said, recent remarks by series co-creator Josh Hurwitz suggest the show’s sixth and final season could drop as early as late 2024.

“We will start shooting right after the New Year,” Hurwitz told The Hollywood Reporter. “We know it’s going to be an exciting fulfilling experience. We can’t wait to get back on set. The final season is going to be spectacular for Cobra Kai fans across the world.”

However, it’s worth noting that a late 2024 release window is pure speculation for now. Indeed, it’s entirely possible Netflix could announce a 2025 premiere instead. We’ll update this section with Cobra Kai Season 6’s official release date as soon as it’s available.

Cobra Kai Season 6 cast: Which cast members are returning?

Ralph Macchio and William Zabka are officially set to return as Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence, respectively, in Cobra Kai Season 6. You can expect to see other series regulars, such as Xolo Maridueña, Tanner Buchanan, Mary Mouser, and Jacob Bertrand, return as well.

Terry Silver actor Thomas Ian Griffith will likely be back too, as our heroes and villains gear up for the Sekai Taikai tournament.

The future of Peyton List remains uncertain, however. “We’re just taking it season by season, but we all look so drastically different each season,” List told Variety in a recent interview. “I have no idea. I don’t know what they’re gonna do.

“I would say by next season we graduate, but I don’t know if they would take it past that.”

Cobra Kai Season 6 plot: What will it be about?

Plot details for Cobra Kai Season 6 remain under wraps for now. That said, Season 5 laid the foundations for the biggest tournament in Cobra Kai’s history, the Sekai Taikai.

The Sekai Taikai is far bigger than the All Valley Karate Tournament. With Terry Silver eager to take the dojo’s brand to a global scale, it will take every Miyagi-Do teaching to sweep Silver’s leg once and for all.

It’s also possible that Cobra Kai’s final season will close on an open-ended note. This would accommodate Sony Pictures’ new Karate Kid movie, which will continue the franchise’s overarching narrative.

We’ll expand this section with further Cobra Kai Season 6 plot details as they drop.

Cobra Kai Season 6: Is there a trailer?

There is no full-length Cobra Kai Season 6 trailer yet, however, Netflix released a teaser on January 20, 2023. Check it out below.

The teaser largely recycles footage from the first five seasons of Cobra Kai, as well as the Karate Kid movies. That said, it also includes some hints of what’s to come in the “final fight” of Season 6.
