Ralph Macchio is excited for fans to see the final season of Cobra Kai , and he's hoping to have some special surprises for longtime fans.
The actor walked the carpet at the Los Angeles premiere of the sixth and final season of the hit Netflix series , and he spoke with ET's Ash Crossan about some tidbits, easter eggs, reunions, and cameos that might come together during the final episodes.
"I can't mention names but there might be one or two," Macchio, 62, teased when asked if fans might get to see some stars from the Karate Kid universe who haven't yet been seen in the spin-off series. "Or there are some [people]that have shown up in a smaller capacity that I would like to see in a larger capacity."

One star who many fans have expressed an interest in seeing return to the franchise is Hilary Swank . The Oscar winner made her big screen leading role debut in 1994's The Next Karate Kid , which was the fourth film in the series.
Reacting to the fan outcry for Cobra Kai fans who want to see Swank make an appearance, Macchio replied, "Who doesn't, you know?"
"And that's the one piece that would be interesting, you know?" he added with a coy grin. It seems fans will have to wait for a definitive answer about her involvement.

"So I'm really excited about that hitting the airwaves," he said with a smile.
Looking back at his time on the show and his long and storied relationship to the massive franchise, Macchio reflected on what lesson he's learned from his experience.
"Never say never," Macchio shared. "Be careful with what you think you know, because if you put good out there, it comes back. So here we are!"
