List of Cobra Kai episodes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cobra Kai is an American comedy-drama and martial arts television series. The series is a direct continuation and spin-off of the first four films in The Karate Kid franchise, and initially picks up 30 years after the 1984 titular film.^[1] The series' first season premiered on the streaming service YouTube Red on May 2, 2018,^[2] followed by a second season the following year on April 24, on the renamed YouTube Premium.^[3] YouTube initially renewed and produced a third season of the series to release in 2020,^[4]^[5] but was not interested in developing any further seasons due to a shift from scripted to unscripted programming.^[6] As a result, distributor Sony Pictures Television opted to look for a new service to stream the series.^[7] Among other streaming services, Hulu and Netflix were named as possible new networks for the series.^[8]

In 2020 it was ultimately announced that Netflix had purchased the completed third season, while YouTube and Netflix would share non-exclusive streaming rights to the first two seasons.^[9] Netflix held the series until 2021^[10] and started production on a fourth season.^[11] The third season, initially set to release on January 8,^[12] was released a week earlier on January 1 to coincide with New Year's Day.^[13] The fourth season streamed later that year on December 31.^[14] A fifth season followed on September 9, 2022.^[15] In January 2023, Netflix renewed Cobra Kai for a sixth and final season,^[16] set to stream in December of that year.^[17] Amid the 2023 Writers' Guild of America strike and the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike, the season was initially delayed to 2024.^[18] Netflix later announced that the final season would consist of 15 episodes and be released in three parts of five episodes; the first on July 18, 2024, followed by the second on November 28, and the final part on February 13, 2025.^[19] The release date of part two was later changed to November 15.^[20]^[21]

Ralph Macchio and William Zabka returned from the film series as Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence respectively.^[22] New actors to the franchise include Courtney Henggeler, Xolo Maridueña, Tanner Buchanan, Mary Mouser.^[23] Jacob Bertrand, Gianni DeCenzo, Peyton List, Vanessa Rubio, and Dallas Dupree Young were all added to the main cast in later seasons after recurring in earlier ones.^[24]^[25]^[26] Additionally, Martin Kove returned to the franchise to portray John Kreese with a main role beginning in the second season after a guest role at the end of the first,^[27] while Thomas Ian Griffith reprised his role as Terry Silver beginning in the fourth.^[28] Other characters from the film series have appeared as guest stars and recurring characters.^[29]^[30]^[31]^[32] Sony is developing a sixth feature film, to be released after the series concludes, that will tie-in with the 2010 reboot film and is set to star Macchio.^[33]

Cobra Kai has received critical acclaim,^[34]^[35]^[36] receiving nominations for multiple People's Choice and Emmy awards.^[37]^[38]^[39] It also topped viewership charts on both YouTube and Netflix with each respective season's release.^[40]^[41]^[42]^[43]

As of November 15, 2024,^[update] 60 episodes of Cobra Kai have been released, concluding the second part of the sixth season.^[44]
