Cobra Kai has confirmed the release date for its sixth season, with the final part of the series divided into three parts.

Last year, it was confirmed that the Netflix series, a sequel to the Karate Kid film series, would return for a sixth and final season.

However, it has now been announced that the final episode of the series will be split into three blocks of five episodes each, with the first five episodes available on the streaming platform on July 18.

Part two will be broadcast at the end of the year, on 28 Novemberwhile the final five episodes will be released on Netflix in 2025 – an exact release date has yet to be announced.

The exciting announcement of a “three-part event” and a 15-episode season (compared to the ten episodes in every other season) came with a new teaser trailer for the series.

The short clip promises action and plenty of fight scenes and carries the slogan: “The end of a legacy deserves a grand finale.”

The short synopsis for season six reads: “After Cobra Kai’s elimination from the Valley, our senseis and students must decide whether and how to participate in the Sekai Taikai – the Karate World Championships.”

While production on the final season of Cobra Kai was delayed due to Hollywood writers’ and actors’ strikes last year, the series’ creators Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg revealed in December that it would be their “boldest” episode yet.

Heald said, “We have been working feverishly in the writers’ room since the WGA strike ended. We are delighted that the SAG-AFTRA strike is over as well.”

“After the new year, we’ll return with production of the biggest and boldest season yet.”

In addition to the returning cast, which includes lead actors William Zabka and Ralph Macchio, it was announced in November that Dexter star CS Lee will also join the series, playing classic Karate Kid character Master Kim Sun-Young.

The first five episodes of Cobra Kai season six will premiere on Netflix on July 18, with part two premiering on July 18 and part three airing in 2025.
