Cobra Kai seasons used to come out at a steady clip, one per year, but the series hasn’t produced a new episode for Netflix since the fall of 2022. It’s said that Season Six is meant to be the final season, so…what’s the holdup?
No answers there, but today we at least got confirmation that the final season does, in fact, exist. New screenshots were released from the unrevealed episodes, as well as a timetable for when the finale is coming out. And….it’s gonna take its sweet time. Netflix has announced they’re splitting Season Six into three parts and airing them separately.
They’ve done this in the past, first with Stranger Things Season 4, then the most recent season of The Witcher, and now Cobra Kai. There seems to be a pattern here — it only happens to their most popular shows. With Stranger Things, they claimed the break was because VFX work in the back half hadn’t been completed yet. This was confirmed to be true, but we doubt that’s the problem this time…there’s not a lot of CGI in Cobra Kai. They’re doing it just to do it.
This will also be the longest midseason break any Netflix show has ever had. Season Six, Part One will premiere July 18, 2024. Season Six, Part Two won’t follow it until November 28, 2024, and Part Three is so far out they won’t even tell us when it arrives. To us it looks like the entire season has been shot and they’re just delaying the end for business reasons. These screenshots look pretty clean and complete:
There’s even a short trailer. I guess it’s their show and they can do whatever they want with it, up to and including hoarding it. A little bit of Cobra Kai Season Six will be released this July.
