Cobra Kai is confirmed to end with its sixth season. This popular spinoff of The Karate Kid will not have a seventh season. The creators and Netflix announced through an Instagram post on January 20, 2023, that season 6 will conclude the show about Danny LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence's rivalry.

"A letter to you, the greatest fans in the world, from the showrunners of COBRA KAI."
Is there going to be a Cobra Kai season 7?
No seventh season of Cobra Kai will take place. The creators and Netflix confirmed that season 6 will conclude the series despite its popularity. The third and final part of season 6 will arrive in 2025.
The creators have discussed the possibility of exploring Mr. Miyagi's early life or other aspects of the franchise’s rich history. These new projects could offer fresh perspectives and continue to delight fans even after the main series ends.
In an interview with Cinemablend on July 12, 2024, co-creator Josh Heald stated:
"We discussed it. I don't think we would ever recast Miyagi if we are looking at the Pat Morita-aged Miyagi. You know, our minds, they run wild. We like to think about who Mr. Miyagi was a hundred years ago."
Cobra Kai season 6 details
As season 6 approaches the Sekai Taikai, a prestigious international karate competition, the story changes. This new challenge tests the characters physically and emotionally. Danny, Johnny, and Chozen lead former Cobra Kai and Miyagi-do students in a dojo crossover. Unification is needed to compete globally and face Kreese and Kim Da-Eun's students.
The conclusion of season 6 will mark the end of an era though it might not close the door on future possibilities. The series' deep connection to The Karate Kid universe has paved the way for potential spinoffs and prequels, according to the creators.
What to expect from season 6?
Cobra Kai season 6 closes previous chapters and focuses on the Sekai Taikai, giving all characters new beginnings. Ralph Macchio, who plays Daniel LaRusso, emphasized the characters' renewed collaboration, deepening the story. About season 6, he said to Tudum by Netflix in an article from July 18, 2024:
"Everybody's feeling like this chapter is now closed and we can look forward to working together to create the best Sekai Taikai experience for our students."
Season 6 of the series intensifies the story. Before the international Sekai Taikai karate tournament, Danny, Johnny, and Chozen (Yuji Okumoto) unite their students in one dojo. More than the All-Valley Tournament is at stake on this global stage.
Antagonists John Kreese (Martin Kove) and Kim Da-Eun (Alicia Hannah-Kim) train their own students, setting up a high-stakes battle. Intense preparation and the looming international competition will be the main focus of this season.
After the conclusion of season 6, the show will not have a season 7. Fans can expect more season 6 episodes, with parts two and three of the season coming up, and possibly new spinoffs and prequels, which are likely to explore new stories of the beloved characters and their world.
Season 6 part 1, is available to stream on Netflix.
