One of the most important and the most creative aspects of any show or movie is the dialogue. Correct words and proper language are the tools to ignite emotions in the hearts of the viewers. However, without the skills of a writer, no show or film would survive. Therefore, to support the ongoing 2023 Writers Guild of America, the Cobra Kai creators showed the most beautiful gesture and participated in it, too.

The ongoing labor dispute between the Writers Guild of America, the labor union, and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers has affected many shows and films. Now, to support the WGA, the Cobra Kai creators also joined the strike. One of the creators, Josh Heald, revealed they were going to go into production when the strike was announced. However, they pulled back their production to join the strike and support WGA.

With the “Strike Hard. No Mercy.” board, the Cobra Kai team, also joined the ongoing movement. Negotiations between the Writers Guild of America and Hollywood studios sought to provide writers with improved pay, more conducive working conditions, a secure income, and protection against the use of AI tools. Nevertheless, the AMTPT considered some WGA demands to be unmodifiable.

Notably, The Karate Kid spin-off series makers have been vocal and supportive of the strike for a long time now.

Jon Hurwitz, a Cobra Kai creator, announced their support to WGA via Twitter

Earlier this month, Jon Hurwitz posted a picture of the show’s writers with a beautiful message. He wrote, “Pencils down in the Cobra Kai writers room.” Expressing their feelings towards strikes, the creator assured them they would begin the production as soon as a fair deal would be in place. Recently, Jon Hurwitz posted a picture of pretzels amidst the strike.

He acknowledged they were still supporting the WGA as they were outside the Fox Studios itself. The final season of the Netflix show was ready to go into production.

Season 6 of the show will see all the dots connected. With John Kreese out of jail and Terry Silver arrested, the show will have one last exciting strike. It is now only a matter of time to see who will strike first and who will strike hard.
