The long-awaited Netflix show of 2021, “Cowboy Bebop,” released a teaser Tuesday. It comes in advance of the show’s release date on Nov. 19.
The show is a live-action adaptation of an anime of the same name that debuted in the late 1990s in Japan and later aired on Cartoon Network’s “Adult Swim” in the 2000s and 2010s.
Netflix is taking some parts of the original anime and using it to influence the new series. Netflix is working with Yoko Kanno, the original music director whose jazzy music soundtrack defined the original anime, according to Gizmodo.
So far, Netflix already released the opening credit sequence on YouTube back in late September.
Now, Netflix has been revealing a little more about the show, which takes place in 2071 and is all about space-traveling bounty hunters and their adventures.
They started by releasing the teaser mini-episode called, “Lost Session,” on Tuesday, and then the official “Cowboy Bebop” Twitter account announced another surprise for fans that there would be an “official trailer” dropping in another week.
For those interested in catching up on the original anime series, Netflix is also adding the original “Cowboy Bebop” anime series to its streaming service starting on Oct. 21, about a month before the live-action adaptation is scheduled to premiere.
The live-action remake of “Cowboy Bebop” will debut on Netflix on Nov. 19 with all 10 episodes available to stream.
