The actor teased the show’s ending, saying,
“I’m very excited. It is set up to embrace that big ’80s movie ending that I have a feeling we will find and go forward. It feels right to land the plane, Cobra Kai proper… [and that] this chapter is ending.”
Zabka corroborated his costar’s assessment about how the show ends, saying,
“[The producers] stick the landing in a way that’s unexpected, uplifting, and honest…It’s a great ending for everybody and we’re so thankful we had six seasons to get to tell the whole story.”
What’s On the Horizon for the Characters After the Sekai Taikai Tragedy.
Executive producerJosh Hurwitzsaid they “wanted to make it unpredictable going forward.” The tournament hasmeant so much to everyonein attendance, but it was tainted when matters went out of control andsomeone died. There are a lot of questions left about what the future looks like and no definitive answer. The show willdeal with this state of affairs, including how the tournament progresses, whether it progresses, and whether it will mean the same anymore. Hurwitz talked about that, saying,
“We have all these characters that we’ve been following for all these years and this tournament meant so much to all of them in all these different ways. And then it ends like this. So we have five episodes left to figure out, are they going to pick up the pieces? Is the tournament going to go back on? How do these characters react to what just happened?”
The final five episodes of the 15-episode final season of Cobra Kai stream on Netflix on August 14, 2025. Catch up with all the action and drama before the new episodes conclude the story.
