A live-action version of the famous Japanese anime series Cowboy Bebop is headed to Netflix, it was confirmed today. A press release from Netflix states the show will tell 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."

Netflix ordered 10 episodes of the series, which Variety reports has been in the works since 2017.
