Cobra Kai Season 5 is in production consistent with multiple production schedules seen by What’s on Netflix. The fifth season was announced a couple of months ago and has begun production before season 4 is thanks to arrive on Netflix globally in December 2021.
A quick recap for those not within the loop. Season 4 of Cobra Kai has long ago wrapped production and is currently scheduled to reach some point in December 2021 (an exact release date is predicted this weekend at Netflix’s TUDUM event) Season 5 was announced in late August 2021 with most of the cast expected to return.
Alongside the announcement, Ralph Macchio said, “Thank you, fans!! More story coming to you! Season 5 starts filming soon It seems “filming soon” meant very soon As we stated, numerous production sources have stated that filming is underway on season 5.
This includes both BTL and ProductionWeekly who included Cobra Kai season 5 in issue 1265. Both state that production got underway the week starting September 20th, 2021 in Atlanta, Georgia (where all four previous seasons have filmed) ProductionWeekly goes one step further in listing the present end date for filming scheduled for December 10th, 2021.
It’s worth noting that Georgia’s filming website doesn’t currently list the series but we’ve been told they often get asked to exclude titles. Other Netflix titles currently filming in Georgia includes Rob Lowe’s Netflix movie, Dog Gone Jon Hurwitz, one among the creators of the show recently took to Twitter for a fast AMA where he answered burning fan questions while at an airport on September 16th, 2021. When asked about season 5, he said:
“We are very deep into our Season 5 planning. Several scripts and descriptions are written. and that we are definitely writing towards an endgame, which can hopefully be beyond Season 5 No official confirmation has begin regarding filming on Cobra Kai season 5 just yet.
So assuming these filming production schedules are true, what does this mean for a Cobra Kai season 5 release date on Netflix Based on this relatively quick turnaround, we will absolutely guarantee that season 5 of Cobra Kai will release in 2022 but the question then becomes when.
A safe bet would be assuming another December release but given the fast turnaround, we suspect it’s going to be possible for season 5 to release within the summer except for now, this is often complete speculation.
