Cobra Kai is an extremely beloved and critically acclaimed series. Having become iconic in its own right, the show has gained a reputation for its ability to entertain its audience in the best of ways. Following its predecessor, the Karate Kid film series, yet putting a twist on the storytelling and characters, the series manages to deliver a completely fresh and interesting perspective.
With its sixth season around the corner, fans have been wondering what can be expected from the final arc of the series. The co-creator, Jon Hurwitz, recently gave an interview where he revealed exactly this.
Unfortunately for fans, he also delivered some upsetting news. It would seem that a beloved character will not be making it into the final season; Terry Silver.
Could Terry Silver Have His Farewell in Cobra Kai Season 6?
The fifth season of Cobra Kai ended with Terry Silver, played by Thomas Ian Griffith, ending up in jail after his fight with Daniel LaRusso. Since the cryptic end left a lot to the imagination of the viewers, fans have been curious about the character’s fate in the sixth season of the show. Speaking on this, Jon Hurwitz revealed some unfortunate news to GamesRadar.
“In terms of Terry Silver, this may be the end for him – or maybe not,” Hurwitz said.
The screenwriter and director revealed that he is unsure if Griffith’s character will be coming back in the next season. Teasing that the incarceration may be the end of his story, it may be possible that the villain for the final season will be someone else entirely. However, Hurwitz was not so quick to confirm removing Silver’s character from the story.
Terry Silver Might Still Comeback
Jon Hurwitz mentioned that although he believes Terry Silver’s arrest to be the end for him, he does not rule anything out when it comes to a character as determined and powerful as him. Additionally, he mentioned that Thomas Ian Griffith is a beloved part of the crew of the series, and they would love to work with him more.
“You never know with a character of his means and determination. But we love Thomas Ian Griffith, it’s been amazing working with him the last couple of years. We’ll see if we get to work with him more.”
It is safe to assume that the fate of Silver will only be confirmed when the final season is released. However, if he is absent from it, fans will certainly be upset.
Even though he has played an antagonistic role for the majority of his run in the series, he was still a part of it before the show even began, having played a big role in the 1984 Karate Kid film. With Griffith having been a part of the series for 40 years, having the final season of Cobra Kai without him would certainly make some fans angry.
Cobra Kai is available for streaming on Netflix.
