First Look at ‘Cowboy Bebop’ Live-Action is Here – Plus the Release Date
They’ve got the look and the sound, but will it have the same spark as the animated ‘Cowboy Bebop’?
Back in June, Netflix announced that Yoko Kanno is writing the soundtrack for the live-action show. Her music is a major part of the success of the anime and is just as important as the stories of the series. Original anime series director Shinichiro Watanabe is a consultant on the series, as well. That combined with the new photos is going to make a bunch of folks happy. First impressions mean a lot – and this is a good one.

The streamer dropped the first look at Spike Spiegel (John Cho), Jet Black (Mustafa Shakir), Faye Valentine (Daniella Pineda), and Ein on social media. They’ve done a really good job at translating the look of the ship and its crew. There’s no Ed in the cast listings or the photos, so it’s uncertain if the noodley appendaged hacker will be a part of this. I’m still really apprehensive, but I’ll give it a shot when it comes out this fall.
“Cowboy Bebop is an action-packed space Western about three bounty hunters, aka cowboys, all trying to outrun the past. As different as they are deadly, Spike Spiegel, Jet Black, and Faye Valentine form a scrappy, snarky crew ready to hunt down the solar system’s most dangerous criminals — for the right price. But they can only kick and quip their way out of so many scuffles before their pasts finally catch up with them.”
Cowboy Bebop premieres on Netflix on November 19th.
