Cobra Kai co-creator Hayden Schlossberg discusses potentially making more Karate Kid spin-off series in the near future.
Netflix recently debuted the first part of Cobra Kai’s sixth and final season. The second part will be released in November 2024, while the third part will arrive in 2025.What did Cobra Kai’s co-creator say about more Karate Kid spin-offs?
“We think about spin-offs with Cobra Kai all the time. Cobra Kai itself is, in a way, a spin-off of The Karate Kid. We took the bully from The Karate Kid, we took that branch and created our own tree out of it, and we feel like we could do that with any of the characters on the show. We definitely thought about that as we’re tying things up with all the characters. We think about the fun of following them in their futures and in, addition, we think about the past.
“It is one of the reasons why we did the Miyagi box story this season. It opens up allthese questions about Mr. Miyagi and what his life was like, and that’s been something we’ve been wanting to do for a while. We’ve talked to Robert Mark Kamen, the writer of the original Karate Kid who based this whole movie off his sensei who studied Okinawan karate; we’ve been talking about all this Miyagi backstory with him, which helped us with season six stuff.
Schlossberg also said that they “definitely” want to do a Mr. Miyagi prequel and have already begun discussing it. “But the focus has been on Cobra Kai,” he continued. “As we’re finishing that up, we’ll see exactly what path we take in terms of spin-offs, but it is definitely something that we’ve been wanting to do. It’s just that we want to wait until we get finished with Cobra Kai first before we get into that.”Brandon Schreur has been writing about comics, movies, television shows, and all things pop culture for roughly five years.
