Cobra Kai has captivated audiences with its nostalgic blend of The Karate Kid legacy, intense martial arts action, and compelling character arcs. With the sixth and final season concluding in February 2025, fans are buzzing with questions: Will there be a Cobra Kai Season 7? What could the plot entail, and who might return? In this article, we dive into the latest updates, speculate on possibilities, and explore the future of the Miyagiverse.
Is Cobra Kai Season 7 Happening?
Unfortunately, Cobra Kai Season 7 is not happening. The creators—Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz, and Hayden Schlossberg—confirmed in January 2023 that Season 6 would be the final chapter of the series.
Why Did Cobra Kai End After Season 6?
The decision to conclude Cobra Kai after six seasons was driven by the showrunners’ vision to wrap up the storylines of Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka), Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio), and their students. Season 6 tied up major arcs, with Johnny and Daniel’s rivalry evolving into a partnership, and key characters like Miguel, Sam, Robby, and Tory moving on to new chapters post-graduation.
The season’s focus on the Sekai Taikai, a global karate tournament, provided an epic stage for the final battles, culminating in dramatic events like Kwon’s accidental death during a brawl. The creators felt this was the natural endpoint, delivering closure while honoring the Karate Kid legacy.
However, the Miyagiverse remains vibrant. The upcoming film Karate Kid: Legends (set for release on May 30, 2025), starring Ralph Macchio and Jackie Chan, will expand the universe, though it may not share continuity with Cobra Kai.
