Cobra Kai To End With Season Six

[thechase]

The streamer made the announcement Friday with a video that teases what it calls “the biggest … baddest” season of the series. A premiere date hasn’t been set; the video (watch it below) only says “coming soon.”



Creators Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg call the decision to end the series “bittersweet” but one that lets them bring Cobra Kai to a close the way they want.



“Reacquainting the world with the Karate Kid universe has been our humble honor,” the trio said in a statement. “Making Cobra Kai has allowed us to join the same hallowed dojo once inhabited by the great Robert Mark Kamen, John Avildsen, Jerry Weintraub, and all the amazing original cast members. It has also enabled us to play sensei, expanding the original storylines and birthing a new generation of underdogs. We’ve never once taken this opportunity for granted.


“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. So it is with immense pride and thankfulness that we are able to announce that achievement. The upcoming season six will mark the conclusion of Cobra Kai.”

Saw it coming, but what a success story.

This is probably for the best. I've been amazed that the last few seasons have still managed to find really interesting and entertaining material to mine, but they have to be stretching it thin at this point and I'd rather they wrap things up before they run out of ideas.

Can I get a spin off where I just watch Johnny doing other stuff?

The fact that they were able to turn this show that died on the vine on YouTube Red into a genuine cultural moment is a pretty big deal. I'm sad to see it go, but feel like they'll stick the landing.

I’m just glad they let a show go more than 2 seasons without cancelling it and let it end on its own terms

[Bang Bang Bart]

I’ll always pop for TV shows getting to end on their own terms and not being cut short after a frustrating cliffhanger.

To me, Season 5 looked like they were on the verge of running out of steam.

I hope they get Andrew Garfield, the superfan, on it somehow if this is indeed it.

Is there anybody they still need to make an appearance from the movies? Think everyone is nearly accounted for.

Predicting a series called Magaei where it has a young me Magaie doing stuff.

Hilary Swank is the last big one I can think of.

Season 5 did a lot of shark-jumping, so this is probably the best way to give it a graceful sendoff unlike a show like Dexter. They need to get a final resolution between Kenny and Anthony, Kreese needs an end to his story whether good or bad, and of course the Sekai Taikai.

I love it but I'm glad. These kids have been in high school for a really long time.

QUIET!!!

[Raskovnik]

I’m just looking forward to seeing how many different ways they pronounce SEKAI TAIKAI

I could see an ending montage where we see Danny Larusso's kid going to train with Hilary's character and that's kind of the last big nod/reveal. I'd be shocked if she doesn't show up at this point.

Really no stories left to tell.

Aside from the things I previously mentioned, they should also reveal Tory’s mom. I first thought it could be Julie, but we saw a glimpse of Tory’s aunt, and Julie didn’t have a sister. It doesn’t have to be anyone from the movies, but still to put the mystery to rest.

[fw91]

I’ll miss it, but this is the right time. Not many lose ends left to tell. I guess just Kreese’s end game

The timeline spans from Sept 2017 to summer of 2019 so far.

I think this is for the best, but I'll still never forgive them for cancelling Bojack Horseman too early.

Wait...Sony, right?

Get Garfield as Spider-Man...just so he can make a crack about this not being the first time he fought a martial artist.
