It\u2019s a series that has repeatedly brought back characters from the franchise and managed to fold them into the story in interesting ways, so the question going into a (not yet announced) potential season 6<\/a> is \u2013 who is there left to bring back? And where can the show go from here?<\/p>\n Season 5 of Cobra Kai<\/a> ended with an explosive and action-packed finale that really scattered a lot of the big players of the series. So let\u2019s see what could potentially lie ahead for season 6, and be warned, there are full spoilers for season 5<\/strong> ahead.<\/p>\n The biggest question left unanswered by the end of season 5 is what the fate of the eponymous dojo will be. With Silver on his way to prison, Kreese on the run and Johnny Lawrence completely uninterested, there seems to be no leadership for Cobra Kai.<\/p>\n However, it does seem that the newly introduced sensei Kim Da-Eun could use Cobra Kai to complete her dream of bringing her family\u2019s Way of the Fist to the world stage. But what is a dojo without students? The revelations of Silver\u2019s activities have left Cobra Kai\u2019s students disillusioned, so it\u2019s not entirely clear that there will even be a dojo to take to the world stage.<\/p>\n The scale of the show is getting a lot bigger than the Valley, with Cobra Kai and Miyagi-Fang headed to square up with the best dojos on the planet. While season 5 really began to break out of the shell of American Karate with the introduction of new non-American sensei in the Cobra Kai cast<\/a>, it seems that season 6 could shed it almost entirely. That means we\u2019ll hopefully get the opportunity to see a whole load of different styles that\u2019ll be fun to watch and shake up the fighting we see on screen.<\/p>\n We know that Carmen and Johnny have a baby on the way. Now, the series has always played a little fast and loose with timelines so we don\u2019t know if we\u2019ll get to the birth of the baby in any potential sixth season, but the pregnancy itself still sets up some interesting stakes regardless.<\/p>\n We\u2019ve already established that Robby and Miguel are happy about their new little sibling on the way, but how will the stress of the competition bear down on the parents? And how will Johnny split his time between preparing his students for the next level with looking after Carmen and his family\u2019s future?<\/p>\n Earlier, it was looking like the show\u2019s central teen romances would both be left in disarray, but now things are looking up. After Sam took some space to figure herself out, the lingering romantic tension between her and Miguel finally came to a head and their declarations of love at the end of the season suggest the romance is back on.<\/p>\n Similarly, Tory and Robby aren\u2019t yet on firm ground but after their joint takedown of Silver, things are looking up for the pair. Whether the trials and tribulations that season 6 brings will take these young lovers apart or bring them even closer together is yet to be seen. All we know is that given their history there is certainly room for more drama there, even after their team-up.<\/p>\n There are also some loose ends that could come back to bite in season 6.<\/p>\n One of these is Hector, Miguel\u2019s father who Carmen ran to the US to get away from. It\u2019s clear that after seeing the dark side of the man, Miguel is done with him \u2013 but what\u2019s less clear is whether he is done with Miguel. And what does that mean for the baby on the way?<\/p>\n And then there\u2019s Mike Barnes and Stingray. While Silver may have succeeded with his fear tactics and manipulation so far, there\u2019s no telling as to what could happen now that the balance of power has shifted. Maybe Barnes runs off into the sunset with his Rembrandt, or maybe the taste of the action he got means that he\u2019ll remind everyone why he was known as the bad boy of karate.<\/p>\n Read more: Cobra Kai season 5\u2019s big Karate Kid cameos explained<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Kenny, the bullied new student who Robby took under his wing at Cobra Kai and then went on to be manipulated by Silver, is presently pretty lost. He built his new life at this school on the basis of being Cobra Kai\u2019s most impressive new member, but since he\u2019s now broken out of Silver\u2019s manipulation it\u2019s hard to tell what the future holds for him.<\/p>\n John Kreese is now a man on the run \u2013 after a daring escape he\u2019s now out and ready to make his presence felt. Though what exactly the former sensei will do now is deeply unclear. On the one hand, with Silver out of the picture, he could once again try to take the reins of Cobra Kai. On the other, he was clearly deeply affected by the rejection he received from his \u2018best pupil\u2019 Johnny Lawrence, so maybe he could finally try to make amends. Whatever he does, it\u2019s sure to be a key part of any future season.<\/p>\n So far Netflix is staying quiet on whether there will be a season 6 of the Karate Kid follow-up, but if the show does get renewed it seems like fans have an exciting time ahead of them.<\/p> Cobra Kai season 5 is now available to watch on Netflix<\/a>. <\/strong>You can also read our guides to the\u00a0best Netflix series<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0best Netflix movies<\/a>\u00a0to keep you entertained, check out our\u00a0Drama<\/a>\u00a0hub for more news, interviews and features, or visit our\u00a0TV Guide<\/a>\u00a0for more to watch.<\/strong><\/p>\n The latest issue of Radio Times magazine is on sale now \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>subscribe now<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and get the next 12 issues for only \u00a31.
