The cast and crew of Netflix’s Cowboy Bebop have now weighed in on the show’s cancellation following the news dropping last night.
Though it touched down on the platform with a ton of hype behind it, unfortunately the anime adaptation struggled to find favor with critics and also didn’t make much of a dent in the viewing charts after its first week. As such, the streamer decided not to renew it and below, you can see how the team behind the show reacted to the decision.

While it certainly had some problems, Cowboy Bebop still had loads of potential and given that we found a lot to like in the first season, we’re definitely sad to see it go.
