IGN has the full TUDUM schedule, which outlines hour-by-hour of what to expect. During the second hour of the presentation, Netflix will premiere the new opening title sequence for their Cowboy Bebop series featuring music from Yoko Kanno. Netflix's Cowboy Bebop is a live-action adaptation of the classic anime series with 10 episodes of the series currently planned for release on November 19.
The new adaptation is developed by André Nemec, who was a writer on the J.J. Abrams' TV show Alias and Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol. In the world of animation to live-action adaptations, Nemec is one of the writers credited on both of the recent live-action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies. Nemec recently discussed the process of adapting the original Cowboy Bebop series.
"I promise we will never take the original anime away from the purists. It will always exist out there," Nemec said. "But I'm very excited about the stories that we're telling. I believe we've done a really nice job of not violating the canon in any direction but merely offering some extra glimpses into the world that was already created."
We recently received the first images of the live-action Cowboy Bebop series. A Cowboy Bebop prequel novel and companion book to the new TV series are also scheduled for release.
