Well folks, it’s official: the writers’ strike has finally hit Hollywood, stopping the production of “Cobra Kai” season 6. After weeks of unsuccessful negotiations, the Cobra Kai team has declared their support for the cause and will not be writing any further episodes of season 6 until a fair deal is reached.
Showrunner Jon Hurwitz announced on Twitter that the show’s Season 6 production is officially halted and that no writers will be present on set. Instead, the 14 screenwriters in the writers’ room will be holding their pencils in solidarity with their fellow writers. “These aren’t fun times,” Hurwitz wrote, “but they’re unfortunately necessary. The moment a fair deal is in place, we’ll get back to kicking asses.”

So, while we support the writers’ cause, we can’t help but hope they come to a quick resolution so we can see our favorite karate kids back in action.
