'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.'

Here’s the quick lowdown:
The Cobra Kai team (Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz & Hayden Schlossberg) tried early on to get Hilary Swank—who played Julie Pierce in 1994’s The Next Karate Kid—to pop up in season 6 with just a cameo, but she respectfully passed. Despite having a neat, low-commitment idea, the timing wasn’t right for her.
Swank’s busy welcoming twins and juggling new projects, so the creators didn’t push it. They say they’re still holding out hope for her return down the road—“fruit on the vine” for future Miyagi-verse adventures—even though no official spinoffs are in the works.
