Cowboy Bebop’s live-action adaptation was an ill-fated series on Netflix that was ultimately canceled. Interestingly enough, it was quite successful in some ways and was in the top 10 series for a good period following its release in 2021. It also enjoyed a considerable amount of millions of hours viewed. While it was not record-breaking in the way that some hit Netflix live-action shows are, the Cowboy Bebop live-action was successful enough in its way. However, it did not take long before it was canceled by Netflix and, because of that, will never receive the second season that it certainly hyped up. The cancellation was likely due to a few factors adding up for Netflix and not necessarily just its popularity. This is a show that likely would take time to garner more views, which may have been an issue, while the critical failure that it was for media and fans alike only likely added to its eventual cancellation.
