The end of the "Cobra Society" is on the horizon The Netflix series based on the "Karate Kid" movie is set for the sixth and final season of super-sized, which will be released in three parts over the course of almost a year It's a long send-off for a show about once and future martial arts rivals Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) and Daniel Larusso (Ralph Macchio)

The Cobra Association started with Johnny's reopening of the Cobra Association Karate Dojo and reignited the competition between Daniel, who had reopened his own Miyagi-do Dojo in honor of the late Miyagi Sensei The competition between two once-in-a-lifetime enemies spilled over to each student, who clashed both inside and outside the official martial arts arena

In recent seasons, Johnny and Daniel have teamed up against more sadistic villains: Johnny's old teacher John Cleese (Martin Cove) and business mogul Terry Silver (Thomas Ian Griffith) They get help from 2 of Daniel's other former rivals, Nagayoshi Doorway (Yuji Okumoto) and Mike Barnes (Sean Canaan)

The sixth season of one of the best Netflix original series wraps up the story of Johnny and Daniel, with a long-awaited resolution for a new story and numerous supporting characters, in addition to a possible return of past enemies

Here's everything we know so far about "Cobra Kai" Season 6

For "Cobra Kai" fans, there's good and bad news about the sixth and final season releases 

The good news is that the season will consist of 5 episodes, extended from 10 episodes for each of the first 15 seasons The bad news is that Netflix is splitting the release of the season into 3 parts, so viewers have to wait almost 1 year for all these episodes to be available The first 5 episodes will premiere on 7 May 18, the second set of 5 episodes 2 is set on 11 May 28

The third and final parts of "Cobra Kai" season 6 ("The Finale Event" with subtitles) will premiere in 2025 and may be out ahead of the new "Karate Kid" movie 

The film will feature Ralph Macchio continuing his role as Daniel Larusso, Jackie Chan reprising Mr Han's role from the 2010 "Karate Kid" remake, and newcomer Ben Wang as a young trainee The release date of the film has been moved so that it does not conflict with "Cobra Kai", which means that their final episode will definitely premiere first

Along with the date announcement of "Cobra Kai" season6, Netflix has released a short teaser that gives a brief glimpse of what to expect from the final season The trailer shows students training in the karate backyard on Miyagi Road, along with scuffles that look like arcades or batting cages As well as the return of the show, John Cleese (Martin Cobb), a reference to Cleese returning from prison to perhaps reopen the Cobra Kai Dojo, says "Cobra Kai is back" 

The original "Karate Kid" movie also has a brief clip from the battle between Johnny and Daniel It's not much to go on, but it offers a fascinating tease for the excitement to come in the final season

All major cast members are expected to return to "Cobra Kai" Season 6, led by William Zabka as Johnny Lawrence and Ralph Macchio as Daniel Larusso

They are joined by Martin Cobb as John Cleese, a former Cobra association owner and Johnny's abusive mentor, and Yuji Okumoto as Nagayoshi, a teacher at Miyagi-do in Okinawa

Johnny and Daniel's family also participated in the mix, including Amanda Larusso as Courtney Hengeler (Daniel's wife); Carmen Diaz as Vanessa Rubio; Mary Mouser as Samantha Larusso, Daniel's daughter; and Anthony Larusso, Daniel's son Griffin St Pietro as Larsuso, Tanner Buchanan as Robbie Keane, Johnny's son, and Xolo Maridueña as Miguel Diaz

Other major students and karate enthusiasts are also back on Netflix's official cast list

One of the major new cast announcements for "Cobra Kai" season 6 is C Seung-yeon as Master Kim Seung-yeon (played by other actors), who appeared in flashbacks in both the original "Karate Kid" movie and earlier episodes of "Cobra Kai"SIt is Lee"It is estimated that he died, but he could be the main adversary of "Cobra Kai" season 6 

Alicia Hannah Kim, who made a guest appearance as Master Kim's granddaughter Kim Down in the fifth season, was added to the main cast, making it even more likely that she and/or her grandfather would play a major role in the final story

Season 6 could also bring back Sean Canaan as Mike Barnes, known as the "Karate bad Boy" who once worked for Terry Silver, and for that villain, see Thomas Ian Griffith again as Silver, perhaps in prison, but not at all You will not be surprised Given his past relationship with Master Kim, he will probably appear

The series currently depicts past characters from three of the Karate Kid movies— "For now, when asked about the possibility that Swank will appear in "Cobra Kai" on the Collider, "Unfortunately I'm not" "Of course, that doesn't rule out a surprise cameo 

Cobra Kai Season 5 finale features an epic showdown divided into two parts Johnny, Chozen, and Mike take Terry Silver and his teacher thugs at Silver's House, and the students of Miyagido/Eagle Fang break into the Cobra Society to swipe footage revealing Silver's evil doings to the world 

While Silver manages to slice Chozen on his back, Johnny is able to conquer the thugs with the help of Mike 

Meanwhile, Daniel races to the Cobra Association Dojo, where his students (including daughter Sam and son Anthony) are quarreling with their enemies Children of Miyagi Road can upload a silver video bribe the referee to give Sam a victory in every valley tournament 

Silver arrives on the scene and challenges Daniel to a karate duel Fortunately, Daniel prevails Fed up with silver, Cobra students throw their uniforms Johnny and Chozen reunite and appear with their friends and loved ones Sam and Miguel do a kiss and make-up, just like Robbie and Tory do 

Behind the bar, John Cleese appears to be dead after being stabbed by a fellow inmate It turns out to be a ruse, and the blood is simply melted red jelly Cleese knocks out the guards, takes the doctor's coat and uses the stolen pass to waltz out of prison The Cobra does not really die 

Netflix's official Season 6 synopsis states, "Picking up a Cobra Kai eliminated from the Valley and how our senseis and students will compete in the World Championship — the World Championship in Karate"

That description means the World Championship tournament will be the main focus of the extended final season, Master Kim and his team announced /Or his granddaughter Kim Down seems likely to provide an obstacle for Cobra Association and Miyagi Road students to compete in that important championship

In Season 6, Cleese may also seek revenge for tricking Johnny and Daniel into helping him fight Silver He will probably want to regain control of the Cobra Kai It's unclear whether Silver's legal issues will hinder Cobra Kai's competition, but Kreese can find a way to lead them instead

Another unknown factor is Daniel's main role in the upcoming "Karate Kid" movie The creators of "Cobra Kai" are not involved in the film, but it is clearly meant as the next chapter of the franchise, and Daniel's final fate is revealed as he films

No matter what happens, "Cobra Kai" gets the proper send-off as the creators intend "We wanted to go out on our own terms," co-creator Josh Heald told the Hollywood Reporter "We grew up in the "Karate Kid" franchise, and we have so much respect for the universe We wanted to expand the universe in all the ways we have During Seasons 5 and 6, we approached Netflix and said, "We're ready to bring this in for a landing""We told them the story we wanted to tell, and they supported the decision"
