Netflix has renewed ‘Cobra Kai’ for the sixth and final season.
“Reacquainting the world with ‘The Karate Kid’ universe has been our 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 the amazing original cast members,” said creators Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg in a written statement.
“It has also enabled us to play sensei, expanding the original storylines and birthing a new generation of underdogs. We’ve never once taken this opportunity for granted,” added the creators.

Starring Ralph Macchio and William Zabka, “Cobra Kai” is written and executive produced by Heald, Hurwitz and Schlossberg via their production company, Counterbalance Entertainment.
The series takes place over 30 years after the events of the 1984 All Valley Karate Tournament in “Karate Kid” and continues the never-ending conflict between Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence. The show’s fifth season had a more-than-solid performance, opening to a 100% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes with an astounding 107 million hours watched on the streamer.
