Back in December, William Zabka, who plays Johnny, confirmed the exciting news that they'd already wrapped up filming for the latest series. Sharing a snap of himself with the cast, he wrote: "That is an official wrap for #CobraKai SEASON 5! Thank you Puerto Rico for the soft landing. It’s been quite an ambitious year shooting 2 seasons of @cobrakaiseries."

Season five has already concluded filming

Martin Kove, who plays Kreese, added: "S5. Finished. My humbled gratitude to all. Every day. No mercy. All day. Rewatch S1-3 before S4 on December 31st happy holidays, make it count! Love you all."

What about Cobra Kai season six?

Since we know season five is definitely going ahead, it leaves us with one question; what about season six? Chatting to Collider, series co-creator Josh Heald opened up about the future of the show, saying: "It's changed at times, but it also hasn't. We still have an endgame plan. We're still writing beyond season 5. But it's been fun to bring in those new characters and storylines and let them lead the way sometimes."

Fellow creator Jon Hurwitz added: "We've never said from the beginning how many seasons there would be. I think we always viewed it as at least six was sort of in our heads, but we're still figuring out exactly what the length for that landing is for all the reasons that Josh mentioned."

What will happen in Cobra Kai season five?

The season will deal with the fallout of the season four finale, which saw Cobra Kai win big at the All Valley Under 18 Karate Tournament, with Tory beating Samantha in the girls All Valley Championship. Meanwhile, Johnny is pursuing Miguel, who ran away to find his father in Mexico. Hopefully we won't have to wait too long for answers about what comes next!
