The first part of season 6 will premiere on Thursday, the second on November 28 and the finale in 2025.
According to NetflixThe newest episodes will be a ‘three-part, 15-episode epic event’ packed with plenty of action.
The streaming platform explained what fans can expect from the martial arts comedy-drama: ‘With Cobra Kai eliminated from the Valley, our senseis and students must decide if and how they will compete in the Sekai Taikai, the world karate championship.’
Meanwhile, Ralph recently spoke about his reunion with Cobra Kai actor William Zabka.
The pair, who played enemies Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence, respectively, in the 1984 classic The Karate Kid, lost touch after filming.
Ralph and William did not see each other again until the funeral of his co-star, Pat Morita (Mr. Miyagi), in 2005.
“I lived on the East Coast, he lived on the West Coast and life got in the way,” the Outsiders star said. People“We hadn’t spoken in 15 or 20 years when Pat passed away. I remember seeing Billy at the funeral in Las Vegas and immediately feeling a great deal of emotion. It was a comfort to see him there. And from that point on, our adult friendship began to blossom and was very meaningful.”
William echoed his co-star’s sentiments, telling the outlet: “Pat meant a lot to us individually, and Pat and I were very good friends. When he passed away, it was very sad.”
For the event, the Karate Kid star wore a navy shirt with a black blazer and matching pants, while the 32-year-old sported a black and white halter dress with gold detailing.
The first part of season 6 will premiere on Thursday, the second part will premiere on November 28, and the finale will arrive in 2025.
The 58-year-old actor added: “Ron Thomas (who played Bobby in The Karate Kid) and I got on the phone and said, ‘We’ve got to go,’ and we flew to Vegas.”
After all these years, seeing Ralph again had a “significant” impact on William.
“I knew Ralph was going to speak and I felt a huge weight for him because I knew it was a very difficult time,” the star reflected. “I remember watching him and it was silent support that I gave him when he was there speaking and I felt bad for him. He gave a beautiful speech.”
Ralph delved further into his friendship with William again after all those years in his memoir, Waxing On.
“For the first time, after so many years of absence, I saw Billy from another perspective,” she wrote in 2022. “It felt different. We were on the same side of the tapestry.”
According to Netflix, the newest episodes will be an “epic, three-part, 15-episode event” packed with plenty of action.

In The Karate Kid, Pat played a peacemaking martial arts trainer who inspired both Ralph and William in their lives and their karate journeys.
The fact that the comedian managed to get the men to meet again in real life is a powerful revelation for both of them.
“It’s interesting, in retrospect, how Miyagi brought us together,” William admitted. “It was one of those moments where we both stepped out of our worlds and came to a pivotal point where everything started for both of us and, in a way, that became the catalyst for our friendship. It really started to grow and evolve from there.”
While Mr. Miyagi’s legacy lived on throughout the series (which first aired in 2018), the story will come full circle as the final season sees Daniel uncover secrets about the man he thought he knew so well.
“We’ve always wanted to bring Miyagi into the show, and this is a way to uncover a man’s past and add some intrigue about who he was,” Ralph explained to People. “It starts out as a personal disappointment, but it turns into something very positive for Daniel. It’s another teaching moment; Miyagi is teaching him from the grave.”
