&#8220;Netflix didn&#8217;t tell us&#8221;, Jon Hurwitz Revealed Why They Were The Ones Who Decided to End &#8216;Cobra Kai&#8217; After Season 6

While many shows end due to issues or lack of viewership, Cobra Kai was an
exception. The series that united lovers of karate did not even expect to last
as long as they did. But every good thing must come to an end. Although the fans
do not seem to be done just yet.

Months after the news of the series ending reached us, creator Jon Hurwitz gets
asked about the Netflix hit show. But Hurwitz does not mind and often clarifies
doubts by answering many of the questions.


HOW JON HURWITZ SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT ON THE SHOW’S END

With so many new shows, Netflix often has to make the tough decision of letting
a few of them go. So when one fan on Twitter wondered if it was the OTT’s
decision to end Cobra Kai, its creator clarified the misconception.

“Netflix didn’t tell us it was the last season,” he really replied. He added how
it was the show makers who notified the platform about the series ending. The
creator explained how he gladly ended the series on his own terms. But along
with that came the assurance of continuing on with the Miyagiverse. This could
hint at either something on the big screens or a spin-off show as well.

final season was announced in January 2023 now.

While there will be a long time before season 6 is released, here is a look into
the series so far.

a comeback into the same character, decades after playing the role of a teen.
While his character Daniel Russo wins the competition in the movie, the show

Trying to relive and make up for his old days, Lawrence begins training a young
student, who is a rival of LaRusso’s junior and Lawrence’s son. This, in turn,
wages a new war between the young ones, reigniting the rivalry between the adult
characters. They introduced a lot of new characters through the series and
together they form parts of the high-potential Miyagiverse.
