We are sorry to report that Netflix’s live-action adaptation of “Cowboy Bebop” will not get a second season. Normally in this situation, the first thing we’d say is something like “Oh, maybe Netflix will save it!” But obviously…that isn’t going to happen this time.
The series was originally announced to great excitement. And some trepidation. But much of that did go away when the casting was revealed. Especially John Cho as Spike Spiegel.
According to Variety, the streaming giant as opted to not pick up the series for additional seasons.
“Cowboy Bebop” hit Netflix on November 19th.
Mary Anne Butler
Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief.
Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence.
Though she be but little, she is fierce.
