Netflix's Cowboy Bebop is sticking to its roots by recruiting Yoko Kanno, the composer of the anime's soundtrack, for the live-action adaptation.Kanno's involvement was confirmed by Netflix along with the announcement that the series will debut this fall.
Like many productions, Cowboy Bebop was forced to shut down in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Principal photography was given the green light to resume in September and it wrapped in March 2021.
Based on the worldwide phenomenon from Sunrise Inc., Cowboy Bebop is the jazz-inspired, genre-bending story of Spike Spiegel, Jet Black, Faye Valentine and Radical Ed: a rag-tag crew of bounty hunters on the run from their pasts as they hunt down the solar system’s most dangerous criminals. They’ll even save the world…for the right price.
Cowboy Bebop stars John Cho as Spike Spiegel, Mustafa Shakir as Jet Black, Daniella Pineda as Faye Valentine, Alex Hassell as Vicious, Elena Satine as Julia, Geoff Stults as Chalmers, Tamara Tunie as Ana, Mason Alexander Park as Gren, Rachel House as Mao and Ann Truong and Hoa Xuande as Shin and Lin. The series premieres this fall on Netflix.
