The sixth season of Netflix‘s hit martial arts dramedy Cobra Kai is receiving a one-of-a-kind release in three parts. The first part of five episodes is on our screens now, but how long until we get the next set?
Cobra Kai succeeded Robert Mark Kamen’s hit franchise The Karate Kid and retells the Karate Kid narrative from Johnny’s perspective. Despite premiering on YouTube Red/Premium for the first two seasons, the series gained magical viewership numbers. Impressed by its performance, Netflix became a new home for the series from season 3 onward and it quickly became one of the platform’s best in the genre.
After season 3 landed on Netflix in Jan. 2021, the series continued for two more seasons in Dec. 2021 and Sept. 2022 before the production halted due to the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike. However, its popularity and the critical acclaim it received for its writing, performances, action sequences, and humor was enough for the series to return to screens even after a two-year hiatus. Cobra Kai season 6 went into production after the 2024 New Year and received a 15-episode order.
