When is Cobra Kai Season 6 Part 2 out? Full release schedule explained
NetflixCobra Kai Season 6 Part 2 hits Netflix this week, the middle episodes of the show’s final season. Here’s the full details of when and how to watch.
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.
But resolution is coming, and burning Cobra Kai questions will be answered, via an extended Season 6.
What time does Cobra Kai Season 6 Part 2 come out on Netflix?
Cobra Kai Season 6 Part 2 drops on Netflix in the early hours of this Friday, November 15, 2024. Here’s when you can watch:
- 12am PT
- 3am ET
- 8am GMT
NetflixHow many episodes are in Part 2?
There are 5 episodes in Season 6, Part 2 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
Cobra Kai Season 6 Part 3 release window explained
There’s no official release date for Cobra Kai Season 6 Part 3 yet, but we know the final episodes will arrive in 2025.
But the Karate Kid movie that unites Ralph Macchio and Jackie Chan has a release date of May 30, 2025, in the US and UK.
With Cobra Kai likely to act as a precursor to the movie, expect Season 6 Part 3 to drop well in advance of that date.
Indeed, February sounds like a smart bet, especially as Kreese actor Martin Kove suggested that month in the above interview with Michael Rosenbaum.
Full Season 6 release schedule
Here’s the full release schedule for the sixth and final season of Cobra Kai:
- Episodes 1-5: July 18, 2024
- Episodes 6-10: November 15, 2024
- Episodes 11-15: Potentially February 2025
Showrunner Josh Hurwitz explains the unusual approach
There’s method to the madness of this plan, as showrunner Jon Hurwitz recently 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.”
