The upcoming live-action Cowboy Bebop series on Netflix has had fans and newcomers alike paying close attention out of curiosity both scientific and morbid, and a new set of tidbits are here to give those intrepid potential viewers a little extra wonder. With the show's premiere looming on the horizon and considering it's a series about space bounty hunters (like regular bounty hunters, except for one subtle difference), it's high time for audiences to get to know some of the targets they'll be seeing when it's finally time to blow this scene.

After recently teasing a glimpse at Cowboy Bebop antagonist Vicious, it seems Netflix wants to spice things up a little more in the lead-up to the series debut. Not content to simply unveil the main baddie, the official Netflix Cowboy Bebop Twitter account tweeted out some gritty sci-fi style wanted posters showing off a few of the villains set to make appearances throughout the story. All 3 characters are carry-overs from the original anime, but they've definitely got some updated looks.

The first poster reveals Asimov Solensan, played by Jan Uddin. Solensan is one half of a married criminal couple (along with his wife Katerina) trying to make one big score while on the run. The second features Cali Nelle as Abdul Hakim, a notorious "pet thief" who continually changes his appearance via surgery to evade capture. In the anime, he's encountered while stealing a corgi with scientifically enhanced intelligence named Ein, leading to the dog joining the crew. Since Ein has been featured in much of the marketing for the live-action Cowboy Bebop series, odds are the little fuzzball will join the show in a similar fashion this time around.

The final bounty mark shown off in the post is Maria Murdock, played by Adrienne Barbeau. Murdock is an "eco-fascist" terrorist who takes her concern for nature to decidedly less peaceful levels than most other environmentalists. Leading the Space Warriors, a formerly peaceful group focused on preserving nature, she now believes that humans have no right to interfere with the natural order and uses the group to carry out terrorist attacks to that end.

Based on these 3 characters, it appears as though Netflix's Cowboy Bebop aims to maintain a certain level of faithfulness to the source material. Of course, the recently released live-action Cowboy Bebop opening credits already seemed to confirm that idea, considering how well it matched the vibe of the anime. But there are bound to be differences, so it's nice to see at least 3 consistent villains.

The show's launch is almost here, so there's plenty of hype and dread floating all around for whoever wants to grab some. Just remember to keep an open mind. Even if it doesn't live up to expectations, there will definitely be people who genuinely enjoy it, so don't take that away from them. Besides, the original Cowboy Bebop anime isn't going anywhere.

Cowboy Bebop will begin streaming on Netflix starting November 19th, 2021.
