The WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes have taken over Hollywood and created a tense atmosphere all over the industry. While writers and actors have been standing in the picket lines together, many show creators have also joined them, including Cobra Kai representatives. On the one hand, fans have been waiting for the final season to drop. And on the other hand, the creators have stopped production in order to support the strikes. However, amidst fan disappointment, Jon Hurwitz sends a hopeful message to the fandom.

There are several shows and movies that saw the effects of the ongoing strikes. Some of them got canceled while others paused the productions. Several Netflix shows, including The Witcher, Stranger Things, Cobra Kai, and more, are also facing a production pause. Meanwhile, Hurwitz, who has been keeping fans optimistic throughout these tough times, recently posted a picture of the show’s poster.

The picture has “Don’t forget to finish Cobra Kai” written on the poster. And Hurwitz posted it on his X handle with the caption, “I haven’t forgotten! The moment SAG and the WGA get fair deals, we’ll get right back to work on that!
