The season 6 cast also includes includes Ralph Macchio, William Zabka, Martin Kove, Xolo Maridueña, Jacob Bertrand, Tanner Buchanan, Peyton List, Gianni DeCenzo, Courtney Henggeler, Vanessa Rubio, Dallas Dupree Young, Yuji Okumoto, Alicia Hannah-Kim, Griffin Santopietro, Oona O’Brien, Owen Morgan, and Aedin Mincks.
When discussing reading the script for season 6, Mary says, “I’m like a kid on Christmas every time I get a script regardless for this show, it’s always been like I dive straight in, scrolling through on my phone, reading it as fast as possible. I always get excited because we [the cast] all go and read them and then swap notes, so I have a blast. We geek out about it which is really fun.”
“But this one definitely had that melancholy tone to it of knowing that [it was the last season]. I remember getting the first script and going ‘yes!’ I can dive in, and then about halfway through going “oh my God this is the last first script”, this is the last time I’ll open an episode one of the season,” she also adds.

Cobra Kai season 6 part 1 is streaming on Netflix.
