What we know about Cobra Kai Season 6

According to Netflix, the cast is "pumped" for the final season, which picks up where season five left off. With Cobra Kai eliminated from the Valley, the senseis and students must decide if and how they will compete in the Sekai Taikai – the world championships of karate. According to co-showrunner Hayden Schlossberg: "that takes things to the next level."

The cast for season six includes Ralph Macchio, William Zabka, Martin Kove, Xolo Maridueña, Jacob Bertrand, Mary Mouser, Tanner Buchanan, Peyton List, Gianni DeCenzo, Courtney Henggeler, Vanessa Rubio, Dallas Dupree Young, Yuji Okumoto, Alicia Hannah-Kim, Griffin Santopietro, and Oona O'Brien. And according to Kove, who plays John Kreese, "there's lots of surprises" in this season. "You'll love it." Maridueña, who plays Miguel Diaz, agrees. "It's gonna be a banger."

"Our Day one 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," the show's producers wrote in a letter to fans. "So it is with immense pride and thankfulness that we are able to announce that achievement… While this may be a bittersweet day for the fandom, the Miyagiverse has never been stronger."

Cobra Kai returns to Netflix on July 18.
