John Cho Transforms Into Spike Spiegel For Netflix's Live-Action Cowboy Bebop Series
After years of waiting, we’re finally getting Netflix’s live-action Cowboy Bebop series. On Monday, the streamer shared the release date and photos of the cast in action, including the first look at John Cho as Spike Spiegel. Casting for the project was first announced back in 2019, but production was eventually delayed after Cho sustained a knee injury on set. Based on Shinichirō Watanabe’s anime series, the show looks like it will be a fun ride for both fans of the original and new ones. We still have a full trailer to look forward to, but in the meantime, read up on all the details we have about the show.

Based on Shinichirō Watanabe’s anime series, the “space Western” series follows a group of bounty hunters as they try to track down the galaxy’s most dangerous criminals.
