Cowboy Bebop’s live-action series got off to a bad start as one of the lead cast, John Cho sustained a knee injury on the set of the show in New Zealand. It was reported by Deadline that this injury occurred on the last take of a routine and well-rehearsed scene almost two weeks ago. Moreover, this isn’t an ordinary injury, no it will require surgery, for which Cho has been flown back to Los Angeles, and extensive rehabilitation. Because of this, the production has been shut down for seven to nine months.
The new schedule will be set when Cho will recover from this. This movie is the adaptation on one of the best anime which is called Cowboy Bebop and it was going well as the production was on its 10-episode order when the accident happened. It was reported that Netflix will strick with Cho as the title role, willing to wait until late spring/early summer to resume filming.
