The sixth and final season of Cobra Kai, also called Cobra Kai VI, has 15 episodes and is releasing on Netflix. This season is different from the previous ones because it will be released in three parts, with five episodes each. The first part came out on July 18, 2024. The second part is set to release on November 15, 2024, and the final part will come out in 2025. Cobra Kai is a direct sequel to the original four films in The Karate Kid franchise. It focuses on the characters Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence more than 30 years after the first film.
The sixth season was originally supposed to release in 2023, but there were delays because of the 2023 Hollywood labor disputes. However, the second part of the season got an earlier release date than expected. It was first supposed to come out on November 28 but will now be released on November 15.
The season has 12 main roles, all of which are returning from previous seasons. Gianni DeCenzo, who was a series regular in seasons 2-4, was a recurring cast member in the previous season but is returning for this final season.
