Despite great technological advances, humanity is still plagued by petty criminals, corrupt politicians, greedy corporations, and powerful crime syndicates. With humanity now spread out across the solar system, society relies on bounty hunters, commonly referred to as “cowboys,” to track down and bring these criminals to justice.
“The Lost Session” goes on to focus the dynamics between the show’s main three characters; jeet Kune do master Spike Spiegel played by John Cho; a former cop who is also the most responsible member of the team Jet Black played by Mustafa Shakir and lastly a bounty hunter Faye Valentine played by Daniella Pineda.
The trio is also going to show off some martial arts and gunplay action!
This short movie is also going to offer a brief look at Vicious; the katana-wielding assassin who haunts Spike’s past. Vicious is set to be played by Alex Hassell who is well known for his role in The Boys and even from the episode of the Doctor Who spinoff Torchwood. “The Lost Session” is going to end with a first glimpse at the Bebop, the beat-up old trawler that has been converted into a home and a base of operations for the series’ team of hard-luck bounty hunters.

In a recent interview, showrunner Andre Nemec explained, “We would look at sets, we would look at props, we would look at costumes, we would look at the edits, we would talk about all of these things, not to ape the anime, but to live in the spirit of the anime.”
Anyone who doesn’t know much about Cowboy Bebop can prepare themselves for the Netflix series by watching the original 1998 anime series which is available on Netflix and Funimation.
