# List of Cobra Kai episodes

Cobra Kai is an American comedy-drama and martial arts television series. The series is a direct continuation and spin-off of the first four films in The Karate Kid franchise, and initially picks up 30 years after the 1984 titular film. The series' first season premiered on the streaming service YouTube Red on May 2, 2018, followed by a second season the following year on April 24, on the renamed YouTube Premium. YouTube initially renewed and produced a third season of the series to release in 2020, but was not interested in developing any further seasons due to a shift from scripted to unscripted programming. As a result, distributor Sony Pictures Television opted to look for a new service to stream the series. Among other streaming services, Hulu and Netflix were named as possible new networks for the series.
In 2020 it was ultimately announced that Netflix had purchased the completed third season, while YouTube and Netflix would share non-exclusive streaming rights to the first two seasons. Netflix held the series until 2021 and started production on a fourth season. The third season, initially set to release on January 8, was released a week earlier on January 1 to coincide with New Year's Day. The fourth season streamed later that year on December 31. A fifth season followed on September 9, 2022. In January 2023, Netflix renewed Cobra Kai for a sixth and final season, set to stream in December of that year. Amid the 2023 Writers' Guild of America strike and the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike, the season was initially delayed to 2024. Netflix later announced that the final season would consist of 15 episodes and be released in three parts of five episodes; the first on July 18, 2024, followed by the second on November 28, and the final part on February 13, 2025. The release date of part two was later changed to November 15.
Ralph Macchio and William Zabka returned from the film series as Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence respectively. New actors to the franchise include Courtney Henggeler, Xolo Maridueña, Tanner Buchanan, Mary Mouser. Jacob Bertrand, Gianni DeCenzo, Peyton List, Vanessa Rubio, and Dallas Dupree Young were all added to the main cast in later seasons after recurring in earlier ones. Additionally, Martin Kove returned to the franchise to portray John Kreese with a main role beginning in the second season after a guest role at the end of the first, while Thomas Ian Griffith reprised his role as Terry Silver beginning in the fourth. Other characters from the film series have appeared as guest stars and recurring characters. Sony is developing a sixth feature film, to be released after the series concludes, that will tie-in with the 2010 reboot film and is set to star Macchio.
Cobra Kai has received critical acclaim, receiving nominations for multiple People's Choice and Emmy awards. It also topped viewership charts on both YouTube and Netflix with each respective season's release.
During the course of the series, 65 episodes of Cobra Kai were released over six seasons, concluding on February 13, 2025.
