Cobra Kai’s Jon Hurwitz All But Confirms Hilary Swank’s Involvement in the Sixth and Final Season

Summary

  • Jon Hurwitz teases Hilary Swank’s arrival on Cobra Kai in season six.
  • With the return of Julie and the presence of other characters like Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence, they will need to join forces to defeat the dangerous members of The Way of the Fist.
  • Cobra Kai’s final season will likely drop on Netflix near the end of 2024.

Julie Pierce will soon learn that Cobra Kai never dies. At long last, Oscar-winning actress Hilary Swank will reprise her role as Mr. Miyagi’s (Pat Morita) other star student in the sixth and final season of Cobra Kai. The streaming series’ co-creator Jon Hurwitz made the announcement on X, formerly Twitter Saturday afternoon as he posted a picture of Miyagi and Julie from The Next Karate Kid (1994). Hurwitz wrote:

“I can’t promise the hawk or any Oscar winners in this photo — I will never give potential spoilers — but rest assured we’ll have at least one character from the Karate Kid films return that hasn’t yet appeared on Cobra Kai #CobraKai #Netflix”

Check out Hurwitz’s X post in its entirety below:

While The Next Karate Kid is by far and away the least successful of the original Karate Kid movies, fans are unquestionably curious to finally see Julie Pierce and Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) interact with one another. And with John Kreese’s (Martin Kove) escape during the season five finale, it will likely take the combined efforts of both Mr. Miyagi’s apprentices to defeat the king cobra.

Julie Pierce Eyes Cobra Kai Season Six

Columbia Pictures

Cobra Kai season five ended with Terry Silver (Thomas Ian Griffith) being arrested after two seasons of treachery. If Kreese (Kove) manages to spring Silver from jail, and with the arrival of Master Kim Sun-Yung, Daniel LaRusso and his former enemy-turned-friend, Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka), are going to need all the help they can get to defeat the three deadliest members of The Way of the Fist. So, Julie’s arrival could be integral to the storyline rather than just a cheap cameo.

At the conclusion of season five, it took the combined efforts of Daniel, Johnny, Chozen Toguchi (Yuji Okumoto) and Mike Barnes (Sean Kanan) — not to mention all of the karate students — to finally defeat Terry Silver and his plans to spread Cobra Kai not only through the Valley, but around the world.

While season six of Cobra Kai is officially underway again, and at the very least the first episode is completed, there’s still a bit of a wait to be endured by the fans after the ongoing Writers Guild of America (WGA) and Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) strikes. Hopefully, Karate-Kid staples like Chozen, Mike and Kumiko (Tamlyn Tomita) will all return again, so that the sixth-season swan song will wrap up all of these iconic characters’ storylines in a way that pleases the fanbase.

At the time of this writing, there’s not an official release date for Cobra Kai season six. However, it’s likely the streaming series will return near the end of 2024.
