Who's making Cobra Kai?
Cobra Kai is written and executive produced by Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz, and Hayden Schlossberg via their production company Counterbalance Entertainment. Will Smith, James Lassiter, and Caleeb Pinkett executive produce for Will and Jada Pinkett Smith’s Westbrook Entertainment, along with Susan Ekins in association with Sony Pictures Television.

What is Cobra Kai season 6 about?
"Picking up with Cobra Kai eliminated from the Valley, our senseis and students must decide if and how they will compete in the Sekai Taikai — the world championships of karate," reads the official Season 6 synopsis for Cobra Kai.
Creators Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz, and Hayden Schlossberg released a statement at the time of the announcement, promising that the final run of episodes will be the “biggest season of Cobra Kai yet.”
“Reacquainting the world with The Karate Kid universe has been our humble honor," the creators said at the time. "Making Cobra Kai has allowed us to join the same hallowed dojo once inhabited by the great Robert Mark Kamen, John Avildsen, Jerry Weintraub, and all the amazing original cast members. 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."
Where did Cobra Kai film?
Most of the series was filmed in Atlanta, Georgia, and Los Angeles, California. The production was halted for the dual strike that hampered many shows in Hollywood. In an interview with Collider, Josh Heald said:
"We were basically ready to go when the writers' strike began. That was our scheduled day one of production. The writers’ strike went on longer than any of us ever thought it would, and obviously the actors’ strike is prolonging as well. Fingers crossed, at any moment now, maybe by the time these words are reaching people's ears, it could be over. For the three of us who share a hive mind and never stop thinking and talking, [the strike] did give our minds a place to marinate and come back into the writer's room as soon as the writer's strike was over with more ideas, more depth in terms of where we were already going. The room is just running on all cylinders right now. As long as the actors’ strike ends, we will be back in production after the New Year." Post-strike ending, the cast and crew quickly returned to work.
Cobra Kai started its journey as a YouTube-exclusive show in 2018 before eventually shifting to Netflix for Season 3 in 2021. The streaming giant has since released this show, with its most recent one, Season 5, arriving in fall 2022. So, it will be almost two years since viewers last saw Cobra Kai's new episodes. The wait is going to be over when Season 6 finally premieres this summer.
