In November, a bunch of new cast members were announced: Rachel House ( Thor: Ragnarok, Hunt for the Wilderpeople, Moana) has been cast as Mao, the crafty capo of the Syndicate's "White Tiger" family Ann Truong ( Strike Back!) and Hoa Xuande ( Top of the Lake) as Shin and Lin, respectively, Vicious' loyal Syndicate henchmen Geoff Stults ( Little Fires Everywhere) is Chalmers, a classic Western lawman who used to be tight with Jet and Tamara Tunie ( Law & Order: SVU, Black Earth Rising) is Ana, proprietor of Mars' hottest jazz club and a bit of a mommy figure to Spike. Hopefully an announcement about them is coming soon. Weirdo hacker Radical Ed, whom the Bebop picks up a few episodes into the original series, and adorable super-corgi puppy Ein have yet to be cast. Alex Hassell ( The Boys) will play Vicious, the Syndicate's top hitman and Spike's nemesis.Įlena Satine ( Strange Angel, Twin Peaks: The Return) has also been cast as Spike's ex-lover Julia. Not only that, Jet Black, Spike's ex-cop partner, will be played by Mustafa Shakir ( Luke Cage), and Faye Valentine, a late addition to the crew with a ruthless personality, will be played by Daniella Pineda ( Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom). In 2019, John Cho ( Star Trek, Harold and Kumar) was announced as ultra-cool bounty hunter Spike Spiegel, and all of us who were worried about yet another embarrassingly whitewashed anime adaptation (looking at you, Death Note) breathed a sigh of relief. Way back in 2019, when the show initially began production, Netflix released a short kick-off video from the POV of Ein, the adorable corgi who finds a home amongst the Bebop crew. In mid-March 2021, star Daniella Pineda confirmed on her Instagram that they had wrapped production on the first season. Deadline reported in late September 2020 that the show had officially restarted filming. The good news is, in early July 2020 the government of New Zealand-one of the few countries to announce itself completely or nearly COVID-free- granted border exemptions to a number of the Cowboy Bebop crew (along with seven other productions, including the Avatar sequels and Amazon's Lord of the Rings series), meaning that they were allowed to fly in and quarantine themselves for two weeks before restarting production on the show.

Originally announced as dropping in 2020, the series obviously did not happen by then as productions around the world have suffered delays due to the quarantine, and Bebop went though its own eight-ish month pause after star John Cho suffered a knee injury while filming and had to recover. The news was announced in late August via the Netflix Geeked Twitter account.

The series first premiered in a shorter, truncated fashion (due to adult themes) on TV Tokyo in 1998, was broadcast in full on Wowow in 1999, and the English dubbed version (the only dub some fan circles consider to be as good, if not better than the original Japanese voice cast) became the first anime to be broadcast on Adult Swim in 2001, kicking off Cartoon Network's extensive foray into anime intended for adult audiences (but also kid-friendly fare like Pokémon and Dragon Ball Z). The jazz-infused space western chronicles the adventures of effortlessly cool bounty hunter Spike Spiegel and his eclectic crew as they leapfrog through the cosmos, chasing outlaws and running into trouble with the villainous Syndicate. Shucks, howdy! Netflix, its finger maniacally pressing the "live-action adaptation" button, has announced it's working on an adaptation of one of the most popular, influential, and beloved anime series ever: Cowboy Bebop.
