Netflix confirms the sixth and final season of Cobra Kai. After a move from YouTube to Netflix, the series has gained massive popularity, continuing the Karate Kid saga.

Cobra Kai Renewed for a Sixth and Final Season on Netflix
Netflix announced the renewal of Cobra Kai for its sixth and final season on January 20, 2023. The delay in confirming season 6 was due to the showrunners' involvement in another project, "Obliterated," which wrapped up filming in November 2022 and is expected to release in 2023.
The creators had previously hinted that the series might end with season 6. Hayden Schlossberg stated, "We have an end in mind. How many seasons it takes to get there, we don’t know. We’re enjoying making it so much. If it gets tiring to us, we’ll stop before that; we have a few more seasons already planned out."
Jon Hurwitz clarified that Netflix didn't decide to end the show; it was the creators' decision. He mentioned, "Netflix didn’t tell us it was the last season. We told them it was the last season. We’ve always wanted to end Cobra Kai on our own terms and we are grateful we have the opportunity to do so. But that doesn’t mean we’re finished with the Miyagiverse."
What to Expect from Cobra Kai Season 6 on Netflix?

The development of season 6 began with the writer's room opening in mid-February 2023. The final season has a substantial budget, ranging from $2 to $3 million per episode. Ralph Macchio indicated that they were aiming for a May 2023 production start.
When Can We Expect to See Cobra Kai Season 6 on Netflix?
