Cobra Kai Season 6 Part 3 features the final few episodes in the Karate Kid saga, and thanks to a new teaser trailer, we now know when they will air.
Season 6 of Cobra Kai is the last series before the show spins off into a new Karate Kid movie, and other potential standalone shows.
The first five seasons of the show consisted of 10 episodes each, meaning we’ve been watching Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence go at each other for 50 episodes, plus the 10 that have already aired in Season 6.
But resolution is coming, and burning Cobra Kai questions will be answered, via the extended final series.
Cobra Kai will end in February 2024
Thanks to the 43-second teaser, we know that the final few episodes of Cobra Kai will drop on Netflix on February 13, 2025.
The trailer states that “four decades of history are all leading to this moment,” on top of footage of both the movies and the previous Cobra Kai seasons.
There’s also talk of “a legacy that will live forever,” and the fact that while “this may be the end, Cobra Kai never dies.”
How many episodes are in Season 6, Part 3?
There are 5 episodes in Season 6, Part 3 of Cobra Kai. The full season consists of 15 episodes. Here’s how that breaks down:
- Part 1: Episodes 1-5
- Part 2: Episodes 6-10
- Part 3: Episodes 11-15

Showrunner Josh Hurwitz explains the unusual approach
There’s method to the madness of this plan, as showrunner Jon Hurwitz explained to Gizmodo.
“Right after we finished making season five, we had a pow-wow with Sony and Netflix talking about what’s next,” Hurwitz revealed. “We knew we were coming in for a landing, but we felt like 10 episodes wasn’t enough to wind up all the stories the way we wanted to. And 20 episodes felt like too much. So we’re like, ‘This should be the final season. Is there a way to make it somewhere in between 10 and 20?’
“We all landed on 15. And once we landed on 15, we were thinking, ‘How do we want that to come out?’ Because we wanted people to get episodes of the show sooner rather than later [instead of] waiting even longer for the show, because it’s been a while since we’ve been out.
“And we just started thinking of, whenever we’re writing a 10-episode season, we do it in batches of five, in a sense. It’s like we build to a mid-season finale and then build from there to the ending. And this season, it was like, ‘OK, well, three chunks of five would make sense.’
“It’s almost like three acts in a bigger story. And that’s just something that we decided to do creatively. When we talked about that with Netflix, they loved the idea of the three drops. And that’s where it came from. So we’ve known this for a very long time. And it is all by design.”
