The 10-episode adaptation stars John Cho, Elena Satine, Mustafa
Shakir, Danielle Pineda, and Alex Hassell. Cho will play Spike
Spiegel while Satine portrays Julia. Shakir (Luke Cage) will play
good cop Jet Black, Pineda (Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom) will
play the bounty hunter Faye Valentine, and Hassell (Suburbicon)
will play Vicious, Spike's vindictive ex-partner.

The live-action Cowboy Bebop will be a 10-episode series co-produced
by Netflix and Tomorrow Studios, with Netflix handling the physical
production.

Christopher Yost wrote the first episode and serves as an executive
producer. Andre Nemec, Josh Appelbaum, Jeff Pinkner and Scott
Rosenberg of Midnight Radio will handle showrunning and executive
producer duties. Other executive producers include Marty Adelstein
and Becky Clements of Tomorrow Studios (Snowpiercer, Good Behavior);
Yasuo Miyakawa, Masayuki Ozaki, and Shin Sasaki of Sunrise Inc;
Tetsu Fujimura and Matthew Weinberg. The director of the original
anime series, Shinichiro Watanabe, is acting as a consultant.

Cowboy Bebop first premiered in 1998 and tells the story of The
Bebop crew, intergalactic loners who team up to track down fugitives
and turn them in for cold hard cash. Among the crew is Spike Spiegel, 
a hero whose cool façade hides a dark and deadly past; the pilot Jet,
a bruiser of a brute who can't wait to collect the next bounty; and
Faye Valentine, a femme fatale prone to breaking hearts and
separating fools from their money. Set against the backdrop of space
in the year 2017, along for the ride are the brilliant, but weird,
hacker Ed, and a super-genius Welsh Corgi named Ein.

The series ran for just 26 episodes and one special in the late 1990s
and later had a feature film, Cowboy Bebop: The Movie, released in
2001 and set during the series instead of serving as a follow-up.

Apparently this is being filmed in New Zealand. The main actors were
seen last month at various places here. That means there will be lots
of useless New Zealand "actors" ruining the show.
