The future of Cobra Kai
On January 20, 2023, the official Cobra Kai account announced that the upcoming sixth season would be the last for the series. In a statement, the creators expressed their gratitude for the opportunity to continue the legacy of The Karate Kid.
“Reacquainting the world with the universe of The Karate Kid has been a humble honor. Making Cobra Kai has allowed us to join the same hallowed dojo once inhabited by the great Robert Mark Kamen, John Avildsen, Jerry Weintraub, and all of the amazing original cast members. It has also allowed us to play sensei, expanding on the original stories and giving birth to a new generation of underdogs. We have never taken this opportunity for granted.”
The statement went on to tease that season six would be the “biggest season yet,” the creators also teased spinoff projects for the future.
“While this may be a bittersweet day for the fandom, the Miyagiverse has never been stronger. This fandom is the BEST on the planet and we look forward to telling more Karate Kid stories with you in the future. Because as we all know, Cobra Kai never dies. In the meantime, get ready for the BIGGEST COBRA KAI SEASON EVER.”
It is still unknown what the direction of the derivative projects will be, but many believe that it would be a story by Eli Moskowitz, also known as Hawk.
