'Cobra Kai' Season 6, Part 3: Everything We Know

Over the past two years, Netflix has promised that Cobra Kai's final season would be epic, and so far they've delivered. The streaming giant surprised fans when it announced that the beloved reboot series of the Karate Kid franchise would release its sixth and final season in three parts, stretching out fans' final episodes with the Miyagi-Do and Cobra Kai dojos. Part 1 arrived on the streamer on July 18, 2024, setting up the characters' journeys to the international Sekai Taikai tournament, the focus of season 6, part 2.

Now that the second part of the must-watch series' final season is out (and loyal viewers have probably already binged the whole release), read on to learn what we know about Cobra Kai season 6, part 3 so far.

When will 'Cobra Kai' season 6, part 3 come out?

Cobra Kai season 6, part 3 will be released on Thursday, February 13, 2025. Before 2024 was out, Netflix offered fans a holiday treat by unveiling the release date in a teaser trailer in late December.

“Four decades of history all leading to this moment,” a voiceover in the clip says over footage from throughout season 6, including the upcoming episodes. “Ever since we were young, you cheered us on, had our backs. What do we have to show for it? A legacy that will live forever. This may be the end, but Cobra Kai never dies.”

Part 3’s release date follows season 6, part 1’s arrival on July 18, 2024 and part 2 airing on November 15, 2024.

Is there a trailer for 'Cobra Kai' season 6, part 3?

Yes! Netflix dropped the full-length trailer on February 3, just 10 days before the final episodes hit streaming. The emotional clip takes things back over 40 years to when Daniel (Ralph Maccio) and Johnny (William Zabka) faced off, tracking their decades-long journey from being rivals to peers in the karate world with old and new footage. Through voiceovers, they explain how they must join forces to defeat their shared enemies: "We need to face those enemies and take them down once and for all...To accomplish that as one, we need to go back to where it all began," audio says.

The trailer then reveals that the remaining episodes will examine the fallout of what happened at the Sekai Taikai in Barcelona, including Kwon's death. The brawl will resume in the Valley on Miyagi-Do's home turf—specifically at the All Valley Sports Arena where Daniel beat Johnny in 1984. The clip also teases how the core team will find the strength to seek vengeance and come out on top. "Let’s show these assholes how we do things in the Valley," a voiceover says.

How many episodes are in 'Cobra Kai' season 6, part 3?

As with parts 1 and 2, Cobra Kai season 6, part 3—dubbed "The Finale Event"—will feature five episodes. In a July 2024 interview with Today, co-creator Hayden Schlossberg explained that the season split matches how Cobra Kai's writers have paced the series since the beginning. "We always think in five-episode chunks, so we're like, why not just separate it into five episodes, have almost three mini-seasons, like an Act 1, Act 2, Act 3," he said.

What will 'Cobra Kai' season 6 part 3 be about?

In a July 2024 interview with Tudum, co-creator Jon Hurwitz teased that season 6, part 2 would have the "most combustible" episodes of the show's history, and he wasn't wrong. In addition to the action of Sekai Taikai, the episodes set Kreese (Martin Kove) and Terry Silver (Thomas Ian Griffith) up as the final antagonists of the series. Both rival karate masters make grand returns after being defeated in earlier seasons, with Kreese resurrecting Cobra Kai, and Silver teaming up with Sensei Wolf (Lewis Tan) to coach the Iron Dragons into the best dojo in the world. For a second in part 2, it even seems like Johnny, Daniel, and Kreese may work together to take down Silver, but that shocking ending may change things.

Season 6, episode 10 sees an all-out brawl during the televised tournament's semifinals, which gets even more dangerous when Kreese loses the knife he hoped to attack Silver with. Cobra Kai fighter Kwon (Brandon H. Lee) picks up the knife and goes for Iron Dragon fighter Axel (Patrick Luwis), but Axel defends himself, and as Kwon goes down, he falls on the knife and dies as it's lodged in his chest.

Season 6, part 2 ends immediately after Kwon's death, so part 3 will likely deal with the fallout and the Sekai Taikai's finals (though who knows if the tournament will even continue after the tragedy). In an interview with Screenrant, Schlossberg teased that the repercussions will "have an effect on the characters that exist in our world."

He added, "We're not going to spoil anything, but that is a big part of the final five episodes."

Speaking to TV Insider, Schlossberg also confirmed that part 3 will "end in resolution," telling the outlet, "There is no big cliffhanger at the end of the last five episodes."

He added, "This is where all the questions get answered. All the characters reach their full arcs. All the mysteries get solved. And you’re still going to see next-level martial arts—and some unexpected twists and turns—but it’s really designed to be an exciting, thrilling, and fulfilling conclusion to this six-season journey that we’ve all been on."

In addition to the emotional stakes, part 3 could have big showdowns if the tournament continues. Samantha (Mary Mouser) and Tory (Peyton List) are set for a match on the girls’ side, and it's possible that Robby and Alex could either restart their semifinal match or get sent straight to the finals since the winner between them was supposed to face Kwon. As for whether these fights happen, we'll have to see what direction the show decides to take for its final round.

Will there be a 'Cobra Kai' season 7?

While Cobra Kai has continued to release new episodes over the past few months, there won't be a season 7. Season 6, part 3 will officially be the final installment.

Netflix's roll-out for the hit show's last go has admittedly been confusing, but there are just a few more episodes to drop, as opposed to a full additional season.

Will there be more 'Karate Kid' projects after 'Cobra Kai'?

Though 2025 will mark the end of Cobra Kai, the Karate Kid franchise will continue to live on. A new movie named Karate Kid: Legends is set to release on May 30, 2025, with American Born Chinese alum Ben Wang starring alongside Ralph Macchio and Jackie Chan. However, it's unclear whether Cobra Kai's final episodes will tie into the upcoming film, or vice versa.
