It has been only a few weeks since “Cobra Kai” returned for its fifth season on Netflix, the show quickly taking over the No. 1 on the Top 10 list of the streamer.
With its ongoing success, creators Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz, and Hayden Schlossberg are getting job offers and are hard at work on at least two other projects.
One is a Netflix action-comedy series “Obliterated,” about an elite special forces team stopping a threat in Las Vegas. The other is the “Ferris Bueller” ‘story adjacent’ spin-off film “Sam and Victor’s Day Off”.
With those commitments, does it mean a sixth season of “Cobra Kai” could potentially be delayed? Hurwitz tells Deadline:
“We’re still working all that out with Sony and Netflix, and we don’t have an official Season 6 to announce yet. What we can say is that we’re constantly thinking about these characters. We are working on Obliterated right now for Sony and Netflix. We’re in our second month of production on that, and I think it’s going to blow people’s minds.
But we’re hopeful that there’s going to be more Cobra Kai on the horizon. There may be a little bit more of a wait potentially, just because we are in the midst of working on that other show, but it won’t be far behind, assuming everything goes as we’re expecting.”
He adds the Ferris Bueller project “will not impact any Cobra Kai going forward,” and they have to get through production on “Obliterated” first before “figuring out the path for more Cobra Kai”.
