We know now that Cowboy Bebop will head to Netflix on November 19. Here's everything we know about it.ĭoes Netflix's Cowboy Bebop adaptation have a release date?

The people have been clamoring for a live-action version for decades, and Netflix is hard at work on bringing it to us. 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.
