While some cast members call the upcoming installment “a banger,” others call it a little “bittersweet” but promise to deliver the “biggest baddest season yet.” The actors give fans a glimpse into the martial arts training they’ve undertook and new weapons like battle axes and katanas that could be appearing in the show.
Though there isn’t much the cast can say about the “surprises” they have in store, one thing is for certain, the fans who “think big” can “think bigger.” Despite the overwhelming desire to spill the beans on what’s to come, the cast keep mum on the things they have in store forCobra Kai.
After thanking viewers for their support throughout the years, the actors signoff with hopes to “see you at the dojo” and Zabka reminds fans, “No mercy!”

Back in January 2023, when Netflix announced that the series would be renewed for one more season, show creators Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg took toInstagramto react to the “bittersweet” decision.
“Reacquainting the world with the Karate Kid universe has been our humble honor,” they wrote in a statement at the time. “It has 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.”
They continued, “Our Day 1 goal with Cobra Kai has always been to end it on our terms, leaving the Valley in the time and place we’ve always imagined. While this may be a bittersweet day for the fandom, the Miyagiverse has never been stronger. This fandom is the BEST on the planet and we hope to be telling more Karate Kid stories with you down the line. Because as we all know: Cobra Kai Never Dies.”

Though plot details have been tightly kept in wraps, fans got a taste of what’s to come at Netflix’s Tudum event in June where cast members reunited for a table read for season 6.
Prior to the read-through, Macchio addressed his costars and explained that it was “great to have everyone back,” gushing that he was “so excited to be here.”
“It has been an awesome long journey, but it is not over yet,” Zabka added. “Season 6 is going to be the biggest, the badass-est, most amazing season ofCobra Kaiyet.”
