Netflix's Cowboy Bebop Live-Action Series Wraps Filming

Netflix's live-action Cowboy Bebop series has finished filming its first season, according to one of the series' actors.

Daniella Pineda, who is set to play Faye Valentine in the series, announced the first season has finished filming in an Instagram post on Wednesday (via Funimation).

"I’m coming back on the air to say.....Season 1 of COWBOY BEBOP is finally, finished," Pineda wrote. "Gonna dip again but will return after these messages."

The first season began filming way back around summer 2019. About five episodes of the series completed shooting when production shut down due to a leg injury from series star John Cho, who is playing Spike.

At the time, filming was expected to be halted for 7 to 9 months. Likely as a result of COVID-19, it ended up being a full year before cameras were rolling again.

Netflix has so far greenlit a 10-episode first season for Cowboy Bebop, which currently does not have a release date. Six more cast members were recently announced to be part of the project, including who's playing Chalmers and Ana.

Cowboy Bebop is joining the trend of live-action anime adaptations in the works, including One Piece, Akira and Naruto.
