Netflix fans divided as streamer confirms beloved show has kicked off last ever season
NETFLIX users are divided after the Cobra Kai cast teased that the upcoming season will be the “biggest, baddest season yet”.
The streamer has confirmed that the sixth instalment of the hit show will be the last and final chapter.
Cobra Kai season six is finally in the works, and fans are in a frenzy after learning of the news.
The show, set decades after the iconic Karate Kid film franchise, follows martial arts rivals Daniel LaRusso, played by Ralph Macchio, and Johnny Lawrence, portrayed by William Zabka, with some new talent also thrown in the mix.
Having launched as a YouTube Original, Cobra Kai ended when YouTube decided to stop producing scripted original programming.
Thankfully, Netflix picked up the beloved popular drama from seasons three to five, with the fifth series released in September 2022.

As the Demetri star, Gianni joked and hoped that “no one will break my arm this time” whilst crossing his fingers.
Carmen star Vanessa added: “If you think you’ve seen big, just think bigger.”
Gianni DeCenzo also teased fans that he had been given “approval” from show bosses to leak something about the upcoming episodes, but unfortunately, the camera shifted to other shots as he allegedly“told” viewers.

Several cast members then finished the teaser with “See you at the Dojo”, leaving fans excited beyond imagination.
