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 has an official release date of July 18, but its total 15 episodes will be split into three parts leading into 2025.
“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.”
On May 2, 2024, Variety officially announced Cobra Kai Season 6’s release schedule. As part of the Netflix Is A Joke Festival, it was announced the final season will get a total of 15 episodes. But fans will be in for the long haul. The episodes will be split into three five-episode parts. With the first premiering on July 18, 2024.
The second part will be released on November 28, 2024, and the last part in 2025. An official release date for the final five episodes will be announced at a later date.
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 reveal the characters take on a new tournament and old foes. That said, Season 5 laid the foundations for the biggest tournament in Cobra Kai’s history, the Sekai Taikai.
The offiical description for Season 6 reads, “Our senseis and students must decide if and how they will compete in the Sekai Taikai — the world championships of karate.”
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.
