What Ought to We Count on In Season 6?
Season 6 kicks off after Johnny and Daniel’s victory over Silver and the 2 males and their college students lastly working collectively in earnest. It’s peacetime within the Valley for the primary time in a protracted whereas. However John Kreese’s shadow looms over the whole lot.
“Kreese has all the time been fairly hardcore,” Jon Hurwitz advised Leisure Weekly, “however he is all the time had just a little little bit of a comfortable spot for Johnny. This time round, the comfortable spot is gone. So, Kreese is doubtlessly extra harmful than ever. Partnering with Kim Da-eun, who has been desirous to please her grandfather and proceed his traditions, [she and Kreese] have a protracted historical past. It’ll be nice to see them working collectively — nice for us as viewers, however not essentially nice for Johnny and Daniel.”
As to why this season is so lengthy, Hayden Schlossberg provides “A part of the explanation that we’ve got 15 episodes this season is as a result of we wished to tie up all of the characters’ storylines.

With such a protracted and spread-out season, we’re unlikely to get all of the solutions to all our questions till someday subsequent 12 months.
