Expected Release date of Cobra Kai Season 5
Till now, Netflix did not reveal the release dates but the production schedule was quite similar to that of season 4, so we can expect that season 5 by the end of 2022.
We’ll have a full preview for season 5 of Cobra Kai soon after season 4 releases which again, has yet to be given a full date in December 2021 although it’ll likely be a Friday release.
