Fun and Stylish New “Cowboy Bebop” Teaser from Netflix Documents “The Lost Session”
A 10-episode live-action “Cowboy Bebop” series from writer and executive producer Christopher Yost (Thor: The Dark World, Thor: Ragnarok) is on the way to Netflix, with John Cho (Searching) set to lead the cast as Spike Spiegel. “Cowboy Bebop” will be premiering on November 19, 2021, and a brand new teaser video has been unleashed today.
The video is titled “Cowboy Bebop: The Lost Session,” described a standalone action-packed adventure with specially created footage that won’t be seen in the series. Find it below!
Based on the worldwide phenomenon from Sunrise Inc., Cowboy Bebop is the jazz-inspired, genre-bending story of 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.
“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.”
The series also stars Alex Hassell and Elena Satine.
“Cowboy Bebop is executive produced by André Nemec, Jeff Pinkner, Josh Appelbaum and Scott Rosenberg of Midnight Radio, Marty Adelstein and Becky Clements of Tomorrow Studios, Makoto Asanuma, Shin Sasaki and Masayuki Ozaki of Sunrise Inc., Tim Coddington, Tetsu Fujimura, Michael Katleman, Matthew Weinberg, and Christopher Yost. Nemec serves as showrunner. Original anime series director Shinichirō Watanabe is a consultant on the series, and original composer Yoko Kanno returns for the live-action adaptation.”
The Bride! actor Peter Sarsgaard is the latest to join the cast of “The Last of Us” Season 3, Deadline reports.
What’s interesting is that Sarsgaard will play a new, original character not featured in the Naughty Dog video game on which the series is based: Amon, one of the leaders of The Seraphites.
The casting news arrives as production on season three takes a pause for what’s expected to be a month, as the FIFA World Cup takes over Vancouver as one of its host cities. Once filming resumes, production is expected to continue through the year in preparation for the planned premiere in 2027.
Season 2 picked up five years after the events of the first season, which centered on a hardened survivor smuggling humanity’s last hope out of an oppressive quarantine zone, two decades after modern civilization was decimated. Plot details for season three haven’t been revealed yet, other than that it will shift to Abby’s perspective and factor the Seraphites heavily.
Kaitlyn Dever stars as Abby, who will be the centerpiece of the upcoming season, alongside Bella Ramsey as Ellie. Isabela Merced, Gabriel Luna, and Jeffrey Wright also star.
Season 2 cast members Ariela Barer, Tati Gabrielle, and Spencer Lord have been promoted to series regulars. Patrick Wilson (The Conjuring), Jason Ritter (Freddy vs. Jason), Clea DuVall (The Faculty), Li Jun Li (Sinners), and Jorge Lendeborg Jr. (Bumblebee) will also appear in Season 3.
HBO renewed “The Last of Us” for a third season ahead of its Season 2 premiere, but it’s expected to be the final chapter of the post-apocalyptic drama series.
The Last of Us video game co-creator Neil Druckmann stepped down as co-showrunner last year, leaving Craig Mazin (“Chernobyl”) as the sole showrunner for Season 3.
