Peyton List and Martin Kove as Cobra Kai's Tory and Kreese.
The Big Picture Are you ready for all of your Cobra Kai Season 6, Part 1 burning questions to be answered? Or at least as many as I could fit into a 30-minute chat with series creators Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg, and Josh Heald? Then you’ve come to the right place.
JON HURWITZ: With the American flag mohawk? You know what? We're at the Sekai Taikai, our team is the sole American team, and we wanted them to kind of enter a little bit as the ugly Americans in a certain way. You know, flaunting it out there, Johnny behaving the way he does. It was also just to make it where it was seemingly a foregone conclusion that Hawk's gonna be along for the ride so that in Episode 4, when he gets knocked out, he had that mohawk for nothing, at least seemingly.
I have seen some folks concerned, “They're gonna unearth new information about Mr. Miyagi, and it's gonna heavily impact how I feel when I go back and watch the original films.” What would you tell someone out there who is concerned about how this new information is going to impact their repeat viewings of the movies?
What can you tell us about the show structure going forward? Is the Sekai Taikai tournament going to be confined to Part 2, or is it going to bleed into Part 3 as well? We like the idea of, “Okay, well, Kreese has something to teach him.” He gives him direction, and he takes this kid who's the baddest, meanest kid that we've seen yet in this universe, tweaks him, and gets him ready to take on our kids. We wanted it to feel like we had this White Walker Army happening in South Korea, and Kreese is just taking this kid and weaponizing him.
‘Cobra Kai’ Creators Confirm the Moment When John Kreese Became Irredeemable Let's lean into Kreese. At this point in the story, do you think Kreese is redeemable? For us, we’re always trying to find conflict for our characters on the show, and with these first five episodes, the challenge is there is no conflict for the characters for the first time, externally. Their rivalries are over. They’re friends now. Cobra Kai is gone, at least in the Valley, and yet it's everything that's internal, from what's going on in their lives to the competition that's between them, that drives the conflict in these first five episodes.
I want narrow the focus to writing a particular scene in that episode. And I believe Michael Jonathan Smith is credited as the writer on Episode 5.
HURWITZ: In the writers’ room with that kind of thing, we discuss in detail what each person there is thinking.
I’ll briefly jump to Robby and Miguel next for their final fight of Part 1. When crafting a fight like that, what is it like figuring out who needs to win a point and when?
