Cobra Kaimight be coming to an end, butThe Karate Kidfranchise is far from its closure. The acclaimed series that follows the adult version of Daniel Larusso and Johnny Lawrence, along with a new generation of young protagonists, will end with its next and sixth season after a fantastic run both on YouTube and later on Netflix.
Such has been the success of the story that Sony Pictures didn’t hesitate to announce the continuation of the saga with a new movie, which might not be related to the series. Still, it will honor the legacy of the franchise. But, since the announcement, not many details have been shared until now.
While speaking withDeadlineon their 20 Questions Podcast,Ralph Macchiooffered an update on the upcoming film:
“I know it’s on the slate. On the slate doesn’t always mean it’s gonna be in the theaters, so I don’t know at what level that is and what exact story is being pursued. For me right now, it’s about finishing up Cobra Kai and making it the best last season ever. But, you know, I haven’t taken my phone off the hook."
The actor also talked about his involvement in the project:
I think that [will be figured out] in the near future, or I may have nothing to do with it. We’ll talk when I know what’s going on."

What to Expect from Cobra Kai’s Final Season
The main open front left by the series' past season is that John Kreese faked his death and escaped jail, so surely the protagonists will have to face him again. In addition, everything indicates that it will have to be outside the United States; otherwise, he would have to be arrested immediately.
On the other hand, the fifth season made it clear that another tournament could be a more significant challenge for the series' characters. This is the Sekai Taikai, which could serve to settle once and for all who is the best of the new group of heroes.
The sixth installment ofCobra Kaiwill feature the returns of Ralph Macchio, William Zabka, Xolo Maridueña, Courtney Henggeler, Tanner Buchanan, Mary Mouser, and Jacob Bertrand, among others. Plus, it’s bound to include some surprise cameos related toThe Karate Kidlegacy, which most fans expect to be Hilary Swank’s Julie Pierce.
