Netflix’s live-action Cowboy Bebop is a space Western that follows three bounty hunters, Spike Spiegel (John Cho), Jet Black (Mustafa Shakir), and Faye Valentine (Daniella Pineda), who travel through the solar system chasing criminals and fleeing their past. The show is based on an anime that came out in the late 1990s; Netflix announced the live-action version in 2018 (see “Live-Action ‘Cowboy Bebop’ Happening”).
