'Cobra Kai' Creators Wanted Hilary Swank Cameo in Final Season and Were 'Disappointed'
'Cobra Kai' co-creator Josh Heald opened up to 'Entertainment Weekly' about wanting Hilary Swank to make a cameo in the sixth and final season — and why it never happened; Swank played Julie Pierce in 1994's 'The Next Karate Kid.'

TL;DR:
Cobra Kai co-creators Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg admit they were “a little” bummed that two-time Oscar winner Hilary Swank—who played Julie Pierce in 1994’s The Next Karate Kid—respectfully turned down their pitch for a cameo in season 6. They’d cooked up a low-commitment role and reached out early, but Swank, busy with newborn twins and other projects, passed on revisiting the franchise.
Despite the miss, the trio haven’t lost hope. With Cobra Kai wrapped after six seasons, they still see plenty of “fruit on the vine” in the Miyagi-verse and would welcome Swank back in any future spin-offs.
