The Last Hurrah
Netflix announced its end last Friday during its season renewal, making it a bittersweet moment for its fans.
Cobra Kai would get a worthy end as Netflix promises to make the biggest and "baddest" season of the series. The streamer reminded the fans of the Dojo's mantra - Cobra Kai never dies.

Not The End For The Miyagiverse
Cobra Kai is ending, but the writing trio hopes they'll continue writing stories for the universe. Getting to Netflix was a dream come true as it started as a free web series on YouTube.
The show launched its third season on the streamer with glowering reviews, so it wasn't shocking that it reached six seasons.

Cobra Kai also stars Peyton List who joined in its second season and became a regular, Xolo Mariduena, Tanner Buchanan, Jacob Bertrand, and Mary Mouser.
