Cobra Kai is an American martial arts comedy-drama television series and a sequel to the original The Karate Kid films by Robert Mark Kamen. The show has become one of the most popular series in the catalog and has now reached its fifth season, which aired a few months ago and ended with a potentially explorable storyline.

Is Cobra Kai renewed for Season 6?

As of December 2022, the network has yet to announce the sixth season of Cobra Kai formally. We know that the latest season ended with the finale episode,Head of the Snake,” which is directed by Joel Novoa and written by Bob Dearden. It was released on September 9, 2022, along with the rest of the episodes. Given that the show just finished its fifth season a few months ago, any news or updates about a potential sixth-season renewal seem far too soon.

For any major network to make such significant statements in such a short period of time. Hence, in the meantime, fans should wait for Netflix to formally verify and acknowledge this information. As we understand your anticipation of knowing what’s next in the tale, you should know that the network may assess its performance and reception before renewing the series for future seasons, and it takes some time. Take a look at some of the tweets by the fans demanding the renewal of the series below:

Cobra Kai Season 6: Is the new season delayed?

According to Deadline, “We’re still working all that out with Sony and Netflix, and we don’t have an official Season 6 to announce yet,” Hurwitz said during a recent interview. “What we can say is that we’re constantly thinking about these characters. We are working on Obliterated right now for Sony and Netflix. We’re in our second month of production on that, and I think it’s going to blow people’s minds. But we’re hopeful that there’s going to be more Cobra Kai on the horizon. There may be a little bit more of a wait potentially, just because we are in the midst of working on that other show, but it won’t be far behind, assuming everything goes as we’re expecting.”

He continued, “And as for the Ferris Bueller project, we are so excited about that project which we’re producing. We have a great writer, Bill Posley, who’s worked on Cobra Kai with us, who we love and he has an awesome take on it. It’s exciting to dip into the John Hughes universe, but see a side of that world that we haven’t seen with these characters, Sam and Victor, who were the valets in the original Ferris Bueller movie. The three of us are suckers for side characters in general and love to see what’s going on in their worlds, so that’s going to be a fun one when we get to it. But that will not impact any Cobra Kai going forward. It’s really about working on Obliterated, getting through our production there, and then figuring out the path for more Cobra Kai.”

Cobra Kai Season 6: What to expect in the new season?

The next season has not been formally verified by the network, as the prospective premiere date has yet to be acknowledged, and the status is neither here nor there. If the show is renewed in a couple of weeks, then we can predict that the potential release date might happen sometime around June 2023 to September 2023 with the same time slot as other shows on the streaming service, which is 12:00 a.m. (PT) or 3:00 a.m. (ET). In order to receive updates on when Cobra Kai Season 6 premieres on the streaming platforms, interested viewers can also enable notifications. Until then, fans should keep a close eye on the social media handles of the show to learn about any new updates.

We have already heard the showrunners talking about the storyline for season 6, which seems pretty obvious given the events of season 5. Spoilers follow: “We now know that this is the biggest tournament in the world. And Daniel and Gianni and Chozen, you know, have an entry point in there and Cobra Kai also does, but we don’t know what’s happening with Cobra Kai right now. And yeah, we just love the idea of constantly raising the bar and the levels. […] So they need a bigger challenge, and they will get one. But how that all plays out? We’ll see.” Additionally, Comicbook, Ralph Macchio says that some stuff was already filmed during season 5 they plan to use it for season 6, “There’s stuff that was in Season 5 that we know we shot that is being held for the future if we get that green light, so there’s more to come, we hope.”
