There are films that leave an indelible mark on the hearts of their viewers, and the love and appreciation endure even after they have ended. One such cinematic gem was the martial arts film The Karate Kid. While the original film was started in the 1980s, the world was able to witness the magic again in the spin-off show Cobra Kai. The comic series is set to return to Netflix for its sixth and final season, and an update on the subject has delighted viewers.

Originally a YouTube original series, the smash hit was later moved to the streaming site after gaining massive popularity. Now the creator of the show has dropped some major information regarding the upcoming season.

Cobra Kai creator has an important update regarding the upcoming season

American director Jon Hurwitz has revealed on X (previously Twitter) that Cobra Kai will begin production right after New Year’s. He concluded the message by saying, “It’s going to be our most kick-ass season yet.” This adds to the earlier update in which the creator revealed that the series has resumed scriptwriting and is “back in the writer’s room.” Not only that, but the filmmaker stuck to the previously stated timeframe.

The fifth season of the hit show concluded numerous key story lines, but it also left viewers with big cliffhangers that the final season is expected to resolve. While nothing is known about the final season’s plot at the moment, it is certain that the majority, if not all, of the cast from Season 5 will reprise their roles. The viewers will have to wait and watch for additional details about the series.

While the new information about the upcoming series had excited fans. Another tidbit about the casting of a well-known actor in the forthcoming Karate Kid movie has sparked the audience’s interest.
