Earlier tonight, we got a first look at some footage from the upcoming live-action Cowboy Bebop Netflix series via an official trailer, and the streamer has now debuted a batch of new promo stills to accompany it.
These images spotlight most of the show's main characters, including Spike Spiegel (John Cho), Jet Black (Mustafa Shakir) and Faye Valentine (Daniella Pineda), as well as the crew's super-intelligent "data Dog" Ein, and the principal antagonist of the story, Vicious (Alex Hassell).
The ruthless grey-haired assassin was once a colleague of Spike's in the Red Dragon crime syndicate, and both men were involved in a love triangle of sorts with a woman named Julia, which proves to be a pretty big plot point moving forward.
Check out the new stills below along with the trailer, and let us know if you plan on tuning in for Cowboy Bebop on November 19.
"Cowboy Bebop is an action-packed space Western about three bounty hunters, aka cowboys, all trying to outrun the past. As different as they are deadly, Spike Spiegel (John Cho), Jet Black (Mustafa Shakir), and Faye Valentine (Daniella Pineda) form a scrappy, snarky crew ready to hunt down the solar system’s most dangerous criminals — for the right price. But they can only kick and quip their way out of so many scuffles before their pasts finally catch up with them."
We recently learned that anime composer Yoka Kano, who has worked on the likes of Vision of Escaflowne, Ghost in the Shell: Standalone Complex, Turn A Gundam, Macross Plus, and more, created the soundtrack.
Cowboy Bebop is exec produced and written by Christopher Yost (Thor), who also serves as showrunner along with Andre Nemec, Josh Appelbaum, Jeff Pinkner and Scott Rosenberg of Midnight Radio; Marty Adelstein and Becky Clements of Tomorrow Studios; Yasuo Miyakawa, Masayuki Ozaki, and Shin Sasaki of Sunrise Inc. Watanabe is on board as a consultant.
