‘We Already Did the First Episode’

Summary

  • Cobra Kai season six will resume filming soon, according to star Xolo Maridueña.
  • Maridueña expressed his excitement to get back on set and revealed that they did the first episode of the streaming series before the writers’ strike.
  • Sadly, season six will be the last for Cobra Kai, but Maridueña expressed his gratitude for the show and the relationships he made on set. He also hinted at the possibility of future reunions or spin-offs.

Cobra Kai never dies! But the hit Netflix show was certainly left flat on the mat during the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) strikes. But now that the disputes are over, Cobra Kai season six will resume filming very soon! And star Xolo Maridueña gives the fans a crane kick-worthy update on The Karate Kid-centric streaming series. When Maridueña was asked when shooting would resume, the actor said in an exclusive interview with Collider:

Oh, snap! We’re going back to the dōjō.

Maridueña continued:

Yes, I do. I do have a date, and it’s right around the corner. So, I’m excited to get back in the ‘gi. We already did the first episode right before the writers strike, so we’re gonna hit the ground running, I know it.

Just prior to the onset of the SAG-AFTRA strike, a video (below) with many of the cast members from Cobra Kai was posted online. Maridueña was among those in the clip, which also featured series’ regulars Ralph Macchio and William Zabka among many others. Shortly after, SAG-AFTRA put the kibosh on season six’s production.

Sadly, the sixth season will also be the last for Cobra Kai. Xolo Maridueña was the very first of the new “Karate Kids” introduced during season one of Cobra Kai back when the series was still a YouTube production. Miguel (Maridueña) just happens to live in the same apartment complex as The Karate Kid-alum Johnny Lawrence (Zabka). And after Johnny goes all Mr. Miyagi on some boys picking on Miguel, the two form perhaps the most powerful and heart-warming relationship at the center of the streaming series’ success. And Maridueña is going to miss Cobra Kai. Maridueña said in the same interview with Collider:

“I feel so sad, bro. I started the show when I was 16. We’re gonna finish, and I’m gonna be 23, and I’m like, ‘Wait, I still have so many years to keep hanging out with you guys!’ I had so much fun. Cobra Kai taught me so much of what I love and know about acting. On camera and off-camera, the people, the relationships that I made on that show, are ones that I’ll remember for my whole life.

So, I’m forever grateful for it, and I know it’s damn not gonna be the last time that we meet. I’m sure five years down the line we’ll do, like, Cobra Kai Reunion or something [laughs]. I’m waiting for the spinoff. I need some spinoff. I would love an anime. I would love an anime spinoff.”

While Cobra Kai will never die, the streaming series will join the annals of TV history following season six. Meanwhile, the OG character of Daniel LaRusso will return, but on the big screen. Worlds will collide when Ralph Macchio and Jackie Chan team up in a new Karate Kid project, which is an upcoming movie that will combine the mythology of both the franchise spawned by the 1984 film and Chan’s 2010 reimagining of the source material.
