Netflix's 'Cowboy Bebop': Release date, plot, cast, news and everything else you need to know about the live-action series

The '90s anime classic about intergalactic law-keepers is returning and there is quite a lot at stake
PUBLISHED APR 5, 2019

Sunrise's popular television series, 'Cowboy Bebop', which premiered in Japan on TV Tokyo from April 3 until June 26, 1998, is returning as a live-action series on Netflix. However, this isn't the first time that the show is being discussed. As one of the most renowned classics of the '90s anime scene, the show received several major anime and science fiction awards upon its release, and ever since, there have been many discussions about an American adaptation.

Apparently, back in 2008 Keanu Reeves was slated to star in a 'Cowboy Bebop' adaptation but at the moment the project was unable to retain its massive production cost. However, now, once again the show is about to return to television with a leading Asian cast, and let's just say we cannot wait for it. While filming starts in April 2019, giving us ample time to revisit the classic anime series, here's everything that we can tell you about the upcoming live-action series:
