Cobra Kai is kicking off its sixth and final season soon. 

Netflix first announced the show’s renewal in January 2023, as creators Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg shared their thoughts on the "bittersweet" decision via Instagram. 

"Reacquainting the world with the Karate Kid universe has been our humble honor," they wrote. "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."

While only a handful of details have been announced so far, the teaser trailer released in January said fans can expect the "biggest" and "baddest" season yet.

When does Cobra Kai season 6 film?

During the Atlanta Comic Convention in February 2023, Macchio teased that production for season 6 was expected to start in May. However, when May rolled around, Cobra Kai writer Jon Hurwitz revealed that the show’s writers were part of the WGA strike.

“We hate to strike, but if we must, we strike hard. Pencils down in the Cobra Kai writers room,” he wrote at the time. “No writers on set. These aren't fun times, but it's unfortunately necessary. The moment a fair deal is in place, we'll get back to kicking ass. In the meantime, sending strength and support to the negotiating committee.” 

The status of season 6 filming amid the writers' strike is currently unclear.
