We'll also expect to see more of our crew from the club on Mars, Tamara Tunie as Ana and Mason Alexander Park as Gren. It would also need to bring back our villains/quasi-villains: Alex Hassell as Vicious and Elena Satine as Julia. And of course we will see more of *DOG ACTORS* Charlie & Harry as the adorable Ein. That of course means our heroes, despite going their separate ways: John Cho as Spike Spiegel, Mustafa Shakir as Jet Black, and Daniella Pineda as Faye Valentine. Season 2 of Cowboy Bebop would certainly bring back all of the show's main players. Fingers crossed that we get more Cowboy Bebop.” Who would be in the cast? “We definitely know where we want to go, and I’m excited that we get to tell those stories. “If Ted Sarandos comes by, you tell him I got big plans for season two,” Nemec said, referring to Netflix's CEO in a Hollywood Reporter interview.

While Netflix hasn't officially said anything yet about a Cowboy Bebop Season 2 renewal, the ending-with Spike meeting a young potential traveling companion in Ed (a prominent character in the original series), and Faye, Jet Black, Vicious, and Julia all placed in new situations-does seem to set up a continuation of these storylines.Īndré Nemec, the showrunner of the live-action Cowboy Bebop adaptation, has said that he's already thinking about the future of this world and these characters. Will there be a Season 2 of Cowboy Bebop on Netflix? Here's what we know about a potential Season 2 for Netflix's Cowboy Bebop. This was my first exposure to Cowboy Bebop, but in whatever capacity-whether it's another season of the live-action series, finally watching the original anime, or both-I'm ready for more. The Spike Spiegel, Jet Black, and Faye Valentine I picture in my head aren't the original anime depictions, but stars Cho, Mustafa Shakir, and Daniella Pineda.Īnd the show is fun! It's hardly what we've come to know as "prestige TV," but in many ways it feels like one of the first Post- Mandalorian shows we've gotten: an expansive sci-fi world, with an episodic, story-of-the-week plot structure, with big set pieces, outsized characters, and a story throughline that comes together at the tail end of the season. Which is a good segue into something I want to add before the rest of this story: I'm coming from the perspective, here, of someone new to the world of Cowboy Bebop. Personally, I can't speak as a fan of the anime I've only seen one episode of the original series, but I had enough fun with the first season of this live-action adaptation that it's very possible I eventually go back and watch the whole thing.

In making a series that's hyper-loyal to the anime, Cowboy Bebop has gotten a polarized response, with many saying that while it mirrors the original, it doesn't come with the same charm.

Netflix's live-action version is headed by one of the most likable actors in the business, John Cho, and comes with a tough task: how do you please both old fans of the anime and new recruits? Next up? A live-action adaptation of Cowboy Bebop, the beloved genre-bending anime series ( now streaming on Netflix in its entirety) that first took audiences by storm in the late '90s and has been resonant ever since. Just in 2021 alone, we've gotten original horror ( Midnight Mass), epic fantasy ( Shadow and Bone), comic book adaptation ( Sweet Tooth), and the streaming giant's biggest show of all time ( Squid Game).

Netflix has taken a shot at just about everything. What they got was a villain so good, so delicious to watch on screen, Marvel and Kevin Feige just had to bring him back almost 20 years later.This video was written by Siddhant Adlakha and edited by Justin Donaldson.The following story contains light spoilers for Cowboy Bebop Season 1 on Netflix, but no further. But just how did the the Academy Award Nominated actor and a director with comedy horror roots make the Green Goblin so terrifying and, frankly, goofy? So let's take a look at how heroes and villains work together on screen and how one of the best performances on superhero celluloid came to be.For Tobey Maguire's first outing as Spider-Man, Sam Raimi and co needed a perfect thematic foil and found it in the post Y2K, post dot-com bubble tech infused counterpoint to a Peter Parker that's more organic, with his naturally produced web, a departure from the mechanical web shooters Tom Holland has in Homecoming, Far From Home, No Way Home and the rest of the MCU and with Andrew Garfield in The Amazing Spider-Man series. But in 2002, Willem Dafoe and Sam Raimi created a version of the character so iconic, that it's not a stretch to call it definitive. All the way back to the 1960s and the villains Silver Age origins. Spider-Man and Green Goblin go back a long way.
