When is the release date of Cowboy Bebop set?
The live-action was set to release in 2020 but the production delayed because of some accidents on the set. So we can look forward to the premiere in 2021. It is a safe guess because the filming of the series has now started in New Zealand. The crew members need to quarantine themselves as per the rule in the country. So the production will possibly compete by this year-end and the release date will get announced.
The plotline of the Cowboy Bebop
The year is 2071 fifty years after an issue in the hyperspace gateway that makes the earth inhabitable. The humans have now started to live in rocky planets and the moons in the solar system.

So we can expect the series to be similar to the emotions in the anime. The creators wanted to mimic it because they do not want to disappoint the fans who are so eager. But some things will be different as there is not going to be many smoking scenes. The character Faye’s busty latex getup will also get toned down and will seem more human.
