William Zabka, Ralph Macchio and Yuji Okumoto in Cobra Kai.

The final fight is here, as Cobra Kai season 6 has arrive on Netflix, marking the beginning of the end for the popular Netflix original series. What lies in store for Daniel, Johnny and their Miyagi-Do students as they go up against Cobra Kai yet again? You'll have to watch to find out.

Based on the popular Karate Kid movies of the 1980s, Cobra Kai not only picks up with original characters from the movie, but it follows a new generation of karate students. Over the course of the five previous seasons, we've seen enemies become allies and some truly awesome fight scenes, and while this marks the end of things, the franchise appears to be continuing in a new form, as a new Karate Kid movie is on the way.

But let's focus on Cobra Kai season 6. Read on to find out when the final season is set to premiere, how many episodes there are going to be, who's in it and more.
