The time has finally come for Netflix's Cowboy Bebop adaptation to be released on the streaming platform for all the world to enjoy.
Based on Shinichirō Watanabe's iconic anime, the show follows three of its four bounty hunter characters, Spike Spiegel (John Cho), Jet Black (Mustafa Shakir), and Faye Valentine (Daniella Pineda).
The trio search the galaxy for bounties to make a quick woolong—the money of the Bebop world—all while dealing with their shadowy past, whether that's running away from it, like Spike, or trying to figure out their true identity, like Faye.
Here's everything you need to know about when Cowboy Bebop will be released.
