Cobra Kai's grand finale is kicking into high gear with its next batch of episodes dropping November 15 on Netflix. And this time, our favorite karate kids are trading the San Fernando Valley for España!
The hit series is serving up its final season in three spicy five-episode chunks (think of it as a triple-feature black belt test), with the last roundhouse kick coming in 2025. But before you cry into your gi, there's plenty of action ahead as Miyagi-Do heads to Spain for the Sekai Taikai world championships.
Lucky Dallas fans can score an early peek at the action on November 13, where OG senseis Ralph Macchio and William Zabka (Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence themselves) will strut down the red carpet at Alamo Drafthouse Las Colinas. The event promises themed snacks, swag, and first dibs on two full episodes.
While peace currently reigns in the Valley after Terry Silver got his comeuppance, don't get too comfortable. Martin Kove's deliciously evil John Kreese is still on the loose after his prison break, and the actor teases "lots of surprises" ahead. Plus, we'll see the return of fan favorites including Xolo Maridueña (Miguel), Mary Mouser (Sam), Jacob Bertrand (Hawk), and Peyton List (Tory) as they face their toughest competition yet.
New challengers are entering the ring too, with fresh faces like Patrick Luwis as Axel and Lewis Tan as Sensei Wolf joining the fray. And for those wondering about Johnny's journey into fatherhood - yes, we'll get scenes of the reformed bad boy shopping for baby clothes with Carmen (Vanessa Rubio).
As William Zabka puts it, "The stakes are set at the end of the first five [episodes]. If it was just a movie, it's a great ending that would beg for a sequel - which fortunately is coming in a few months."
The showrunners promise this finale will honor everything from Daniel's 1984 crane kick to the present day, wrapping up the saga "on our terms."
But remember, as any true fan knows - Cobra Kai never dies. Strike first, strike hard, no mercy on those tissues when the waterworks start!
(Pro tip: While you're waiting for November 15, catch those Season 6, Part 1 bloopers featuring Mary Mouser's goofy behind-the-scenes moments. Because even karate champions need to laugh sometimes!)
