It has also enabled us to play sensei, expanding the original storylines and birthing a new generation of underdogs. We've never once taken this opportunity for granted.''
In the statement, the makers mentioned that they always wanted to end the show on their own terms.
The note continues, "Our day one goal with ‘Cobra Kai’ has always been to end it on our terms, leaving the valley in the time and place we’ve always imagined. So it is with immense pride and thankfulness that we are able to announce that achievement.''
"The upcoming Season Six will mark the conclusion of ‘Cobra Kai.’ While this may be a bittersweet day for the fandom, the Miyagiverse has never been stronger. This fandom is the best on the planet, and we hope to be sharing more Karate Kidstories with you down the line. Because, as we all know, Cobra Kai Never Dies."
