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.

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.
