Description: 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. Based on the Anime of the same name. Netflix.com

Why Was It Cancelled? This live-action adaptation of the classic Anime was another big swing from Netflix that did not meet expectations and got the ax in short order. Reviews were mixed, but the series was not considered a disaster and viewership has been good for the show. Netflix execs decided it did not adequately cover the bottom line, though, and this one joins other high profile one-and-done entries from that streamer like Jupiter’s Legacy, The Irregulars, and Away.
