“I’d Be Dumb Not To Take That Opportunity”

The future of Cobra Kai has gotten a hopeful update from one of its young stars. The show, which began its life on YouTube Red before moving to Netflix, is a sequel in the Karate Kid franchise featuring legacy characters including Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) and Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) along with a crop of new young karate trainees. Cobra Kai season 6, which has been split into three parts comprising five episodes each with the first having premiered on July 18, is set to be the final season of the popular streaming show.

Screen Rant had the opportunity to sit down for an interview with Jacob Bertrand, who plays Eli “Hawk” Moskowitz, to discuss Cobra Kai season 6. During the conversation, the actor shared his thoughts on the possibility of the show continuing past the final season. He said it “could be really fun” and that he would be interested if “the young cast is into it“ including Xolo Maridueña, Gianni DeCenzo, and Peyton List, who play Miguel Diaz, Demetri Alexopoulos, and Tory Nichols respectively. He suggested that the show might follow them to college. Read his full quote below:

Yeah, I would love to do a Cobra Kai in college type thing. I think it’d be really fun no matter who the story is centered around. Even to just have a little guest star role where Hawk comes and visits Miguel, wherever he is, or Sam, wherever she is, or Tory if she gets into college. I think that stuff could be really fun. I’m down to do it if Xolo, Gianni, Peyton, if the young cast is into it. I just love filming with my friends, so I’d be dumb to not take that opportunity.

More to come…

Cobra Kai season 6 part 2 premieres on Netflix on November 15 while season 6 part 3 premieres on an unspecified date in 2025.
