The composer of the original Cowboy Bebop anime Yoko Kanno is also composing this Netflix adaptation of the live-action series.

According to a post on Pineda’s Instagram from March, the live-action series had finished filming the first season.

Netflix posted a “Behind the Scenes” video in October 2019 to mark the start of production. Writer and executive producer Jeff Pinkner teased in April 2020 that the show’s staff is planning a second season.

The series is a co-production between Netflix and Tomorrow Studios, with Netflix handling the physical production.

Netflix describes its Cowboy Bebop series:

Based on the worldwide phenomenon from Sunrise Inc., Cowboy Bebop is the jazz-inspired, genre-bending story of Spike Spiegel, Jet Black, Faye Valentine, and Radical Ed: a rag-tag crew of bounty hunters on the run from their pasts as they hunt down the solar system’s most dangerous criminals. They’ll even save the world…for the right price.
