Cobra Kai Season 6 Part 2 Key Art: It's Time to Take on The World

The new key art poster for Netflix's Ralph Macchio and William Zabka-starring Cobra Kai Season 6 Part 2 sees the fight going global.

With less than three weeks to go until Part 2 hits Netflix screens (November 15th) and with The Finale Event dropping in 2025, viewers are getting a look at the latest key art for Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz, and Hayden Schlossberg's Cobra Kai. If everything you've seen so far for the return of the Ralph Macchio and William Zabka-starring "Karate Kid" sequel series hasn't sold you on just how global things are about to get, the poster below spotlighting the Sekai Taikai (with the tagline "Time to Take on The World) puts it all into a much larger perspective.

Here's a look back at the latest images, released alongside the official trailer last week – with the cast being joined by  Lewis Tan (Deadpool v. Wolverine, Mortal Kombat) as Sensei Wolf, Patrick Luwis (Rebel Moon) as Axel Kovacevic, and Rayna Vallandingham (Pawns) as Zara Malik:

Cobra Kai Co-Creator on Dividing Final Season Schedule

Before fielding questions during his social media Q&A, Hurwitz addressed the question that he's been getting a lot lately: "Why don't you drop the rest of S6 right NOW, you idiot?!?!?" The series co-creator offered, "Because the rest of the episodes aren't finished yet, unfortunately. Yes, we finished filming a couple months ago, but a lot more work needs to be done before an episode is ready for your eyes. Editing. Coloring. Visual Effects. Sound Design. ADR. Recording the score with an orchestra. Sound mixing. Etc. And that's all before the show gets dubbed and subtitled in dozens of languages for audiences all around the world," Hurwtiz shared, offering an honest rundown of just how much went into -and is still going into – post-production. "We know that for some of you, it's been frustrating to only have 5 episodes to watch so far. It's frustrating for us, too, because we know the adventure ahead, and we're dying for you to experience it!"

"At the end of the day, we (including our partners) had a choice when it came to the release. 1) Wait until 2025 for audiences to get more Cobra Kai. Or 2) Get the episodes out to audiences much sooner — in batches — as soon as they were ready," Hurwitz continued, offering some insight into the thinking behind the release schedule decision. "Because of the delay between seasons, we all chose the latter and designed each drop with that release in mind. This first drop was the appetizer — the road to the tournament ahead, complete with a few cliffhangers for good measure. :) As for the second and third, you'll unfortunately need to wait a bit longer to see what we have in store. (Drop 2 was recently moved up to November 15th!)."

Hurwitz continued, "The viewing experience is going to be different for different kinds of viewers. Some fans are going to most enjoy the long goodbye — three drops of five, the sooner the better, with time in between to build anticipation. Others will feel off-balance without their usual fix of 10 to mainline. And some won't be satisfied unless they're able to gorge all 15 episodes at once and see how it all ends. All points of view are valid. There's no wrong way to enjoy the show!" The show's co-creator ended his message to the fans with a promise: "All I can promise is that the final 10 episodes are unlike any you've seen before while still being badass and funny and nostalgic and karate-filled. I know you're going to love it!"

Joining Macchio & Zabka on the final run are Martin Kove, Xolo Maridueña, Jacob Bertrand, Mary Mouser, Tanner Buchanan, Peyton List, Gianni DeCenzo, Courtney Henggeler, Vanessa Rubio, Dallas Dupree Young, Yuji Okumoto, Alicia Hannah-Kim, Griffin Santopietro, and Oona O'Brien.
