But do our merry band of bounty hunters belong to the good guys or the bad guys? "Depends on who you ask," per Spike.Ĭowboy Bebop debuts on Netflix on November 19, 2021. And of course, we get a few more shots of our favorite Corgi, Henry. We get hints of a doomed romance in Spike's past ("I was dreaming"), a spot of martial arts action, and a blood-spattered, cocky Faye proposing a partnership, with a 60/40 split (in her favor, of course). "In this solar system, if the cops and the bounty hunters don't get you, the Syndicate will," Spike says in a voiceover. Then the "Tank!" theme kicks in as we see Jet Black piloting a spaceship. It's all very moody and neo-Chandler-esque, set to a somber jazz motif. "A week ago I did a job, a bounty," he replies-with a partner, no less, who probably has no idea what Spike used to be. She's the proprietor of an underground jazz club on Mars and something of a surrogate mother to Spike. "So what brings you back from the dead?" we hear a woman named Ana (Tamara Tunie, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit) ask.

This official full trailer opens with a brooding shot of Spike surveying the futuristic city of New Tijuana. The new Bebop has yet to really back up its creatives desire to have iterated on what made the original anime so beloved in the first place, and couching itself in the familiarity of its most iconic piece of music over and over-especially when returning to the well as many times as it has so far-begins to feel more and more like it’s trying to make up for something. And Elena Satine ( Revenge) plays Julia, a stunning femme fatale who has captivated both Spike and Vicious as rivals for her affection. Mustafa Shakir ( Luke Cage) plays Jet Black, captain of the Bebop, and Spike's ex-cop bounty hunter partner who has a cybernetic arm. Daniella Pineda ( Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom) plays Faye Valentine, a bounty hunter and con artist in debt from excessive gambling fees who spent 54 years in suspended animation after a space shuttle accident. Production was delayed in part due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but also because star John Cho ( Star Trek, Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle) suffered an injury on-set, which required him to fly from the show's shooting location in New Zealand to Los Angeles for surgery.Ĭho plays lead character Spike Spiegel, a bounty hunter born on Mars with a history of violent gang activity and a penchant for fist-fights. Alex Hassell ( Suburbicon) plays Spike's former partner, Vicious, who is now a power-hungry Capo gangster from the Red Dragon Crime Syndicate. The director of the original anime series, Shinichirō Watanabe, is a consultant for the new show. Cowboy Bebop drew critical acclaim and became a cult hit thanks in part to its striking visual style and its strong thematic elements.Īndré Nemec is the showrunner for the Netflix series, having previously worked as a writer and producer on Alias, as well as the 2014 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie.
