Cobra Kai’s Final Season: Action-Packed Conclusion and Tribute to Late Karate Kid Star
The sixth and final season of the popular Netflix series Cobra Kai, a continuation of the Karate Kid film franchise, is gearing up for an action-packed conclusion. The season, which will be released in three parts, has already seen the debut of Part 1, with Part 2 set to premiere on November 15, 2024.
According to Jacob Bertrand, who plays Hawk in the series, Part 2 promises to be the most action-packed segment of Cobra Kai yet. “There are so many fights in it, and there’s just so much turmoil. It gets worse before it gets better,” Bertrand revealed. The storyline is expected to intensify as Miyagi-Do and Cobra Kai prepare to face off at the Sekai Taikai, with John Kreese having one last trick up his sleeve.
In other news, the Cobra Kai community is mourning the loss of Chad McQueen, who played the villainous Dutch in the original Karate Kid films. McQueen, the son of legendary actor Steve McQueen, passed away on September 11, 2024, due to complications from an injury that led to organ failure. His absence is particularly noted as he would have been a significant addition to the Cobra Kai series, which has seen many original stars return to reprise their roles.
The success of Cobra Kai has also led to the announcement of a new Karate Kid movie, featuring Ralph Macchio teaming up with Jackie Chan. Originally a YouTube Red series, Cobra Kai was acquired by Netflix after its first two seasons and has since grown in popularity, attracting both old and new fans of the Karate Kid franchise).
