“The Karate Kid” and “Cobra Kai” star Ralph Macchio recently spoke with Collider about his just-released memoir “Waxing On: The Karate Kid & Me!”.
During that chat, he was asked to offer some insight on the future of the beloved Netflix “Cobra Kai” series and whether there was any further update on a sixth season following the successful fifth season launch earlier this Fall.
Macchio says that while nothing has been confirmed, he feels there is a “high confidence” that the story will continue:
“There are no locked guarantees in anything, correct? In life. But there’s a high confidence and discussions, but we don’t have that official word. But I’m feeling good, and I’m feeling the book is not going to hurt our chances either.”
Macchio is also just very happy the franchise itself is still so strong and relevant nearly four decades later:
“That’s just very unique to have a story that’s ongoing and a character that has been so impactful and inspirational, aspirational, wish-fulfilling for so many people and so many generations now.”
The first five seasons are currently streaming on Netflix.
