Cobra Kai Creator Teases Spinoff Plans as Series Nears Its Finale

As Cobra Kai gears up for its grand finale on February 13, 2025, showrunner Jon Hurwitz has fans hyped with a hint of what might be next. Taking to X/Twitter during a fan Q&A, Hurwitz responded to a question about potential character-focused spinoffs, saying simply: “I hope so.”

While Cobra Kai is wrapping up its story, it seems like the world of karate, rivalries, and redemption could live on in new forms. Hurwitz didn’t spill more details, but the response was enough to send fans into speculation mode. Many are hoping for a continuation featuring the younger characters stepping into the roles of senseis, perhaps opening their own dojos. Others suggested fresh takes, like college-based martial arts journeys or international storylines.

This isn’t the first time Hurwitz has hinted at expanding the Cobra Kai universe. While the upcoming film Karate Kid: Legends premieres on May 30, 2025, Hurwitz has clarified that it isn’t directly connected to Cobra Kai. “I haven’t seen the movie, but I hear Daniel LaRusso’s in it!” Hurwitz joked during the same Q&A. The film’s trailer and comments from its director suggest some potential overlap with the broader Karate Kid lore, though Hurwitz has previously stated the projects are in “separate ecosystems.”

Fans are now left wondering what these spin-offs could look like and how they might deepen the storylines we’ve come to love over the years. With Hurwitz actively working on at least one spinoff, the possibilities seem endless.
