The one-time YouTube original series has become a perennial hit on Netflix. Even after 5 seasons, fans of the karate soap show no signs of fatigue.

Start: When is Cobra Kai season 6 coming?
Our guess: Cobra Kai season 6 is coming in September/October 2023.The Cobra Kai makers:inside have been working at piecework for years. Between two seasons of Stranger Things there are sometimes several years, Cobra Kai season 5 came only 9 months after season 4, which was also due to the fact that the seasons were filmed directly after each other. Meanwhile, production on season 6 has not yet begun. Nevertheless, it should not come to more than a year’s wait.
Plot: What is season 6 of Cobra Kai about?
Eagle Fang and Myagi Do have qualified for the Sakai Taikai international karate tournament. This competition on the biggest stage possible should provide the framing for Season 6. The first half could be devoted to preparation, the second to the competition itself. The return of John Kreese after his Hannibal Lector-like outburst adds spice. After all, Johnny and Daniel beat their old enemy over the head before.
Why season 6 could be the final Cobra Kai conclusion
In an interview showrunner Josh Heald said about the season 6 plans:
“We still have a few tricks up our sleeve to move from this point. But it gets bigger with each season. And we always try not to plagiarise ourselves. “
At least it doesn’t sound like the team wants to deliver endless seasons to Netflix. In fact, conditions in the Valley seem tidier than ever. Robby and Miguel have settled their dispute. Miguel has also met his father and closed that chapter (of course, his visit to Mexico could have unexpected consequences). Johnny, still disoriented at the beginning of the series, has arrived; he and Carmen are expecting a child. The boss Terry Silver has been defeated and things can’t possibly get much worse than with him: With this, Daniel LaRusso has conquered his trauma.

A look back at what has been achieved and experienced. The big question mark John Kreese also fits in with this. He is the last legacy with which the series could return to its roots in the films before its end.
Are Cobra Kai spin-offs coming?
As is so often the case, the end of a series does not mean the end of the franchise. Just like Game of Thrones currently, Cobra Kai may continue with spin-offs dedicated to new corners of the karate universe. Showrunner Hayden Schlossberg says he and his team are currently focusing on Cobra Kai, but have spin-off ideas in mind. And Cobra Kai is the best example of how well a spin-off, or in this case a sequel, can work.
