Set to launch November 19th, the ten-episode series stars John Cho as Spike Spiegel, Daniella Pineda as Faye Valentine, Mustafa Shakir as Jet Black, Alex Hassell as Vicious and Elena Satine as Julia.
The original 1998 series ran for 26 episodes and followed a crew of intergalactic loners who team up to become bounty hunters onboard the ship Bebop.
“Alias” and “Fringe” duo Andre Nemec and Jeff Pinkner are behind this version written by Christopher Yost (“Thor: Ragnarok,” “The Mandalorian”) while original composer Yoko Kanno is returning to do the music.
