Interview by Paul Salfen
Paul Salfen asks Ralph Macchio and William Zabka, the original Karate Kid and his nemesis, how they feel about winding down The sixth and final season of Cobra Kai, also known as Cobra Kai VI.
The season consists of 15 episodes and is releasing on Netflix. Unlike previous seasons, the sixth season will be released in three parts of five episodes each. The first of these was released on July 18, 2024. A second part was released on November 15, 2024, followed by the final part on February 13, 2025. The series is a direct sequel to the original four films in The Karate Kid franchise, focusing on the characters of Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence over 30 years after the titular film.[1] The season was originally set to release in 2023, but experienced delays as a result of the 2023 Hollywood labor disputes. The second part, however, got an early release date after originally receiving a November 28, 2024 release window. The season features 13 starring roles, all of which returned from previous seasons, including Gianni DeCenzo who was a series regular in seasons 2–4, but was demoted to a recurring cast member in the previous season.
