Gianni DeCenzo, Jacob Bertrand, Joe Seo and Xolo Maridueña in Cobra Kai Season 6.
The Big Picture Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz, and Hayden Schlossberg have hit the sweet spot with Cobra Kai. Not only did they develop a Karate Kid show that appealed to longtime fans, but they also crafted a series that broadened the franchise fan base by introducing a whole new generation of karate stars. The trouble is, that meant they had a significant number of characters to service.
Why ‘Cobra Kai’ Season 6 Will Be Better in Three Parts PERRI NEMIROFF: When did you first find out that Season 6 would be separated into three parts, and how did that impact the writing process this time around? What would you say to a fan who's sitting there and says to themselves, “I just want all 15 episodes right now?” What is it about spreading out the release that you think is going to ultimately serve the Season 6 story better?
JOSH HEALD: It did not. That was an arm's-length project for Sony. That's parallel development with the Sony feature team. We were shown an early copy of that script and did give some thoughts and notes as “take it or leave it” kind of helpfulness to that filmmaker and to the feature team. But we're writing within our own part of the universe here and bringing everything to a head, bringing everything to fruition, and landing the mothership the way that we always intended.
Of all the main characters in the show, who do you think is ultimately going to be the most changed by the end of the series? HEALD: There's a lot that we're thinking about. There's not a lot we can talk about yet, but I can say, you know us, we love this franchise. We never stop talking about this franchise. We talk about contemporary spin-offs, we talk about spin-offs that take place 80 or 90 years ago, and we continue to look to the future and the fandom and our partners at Sony and Netflix to help us determine when we can begin to talk about some of that stuff.
