Fans launch petition to bring second season of Cowboy Bebop to Netflix

Last week, foreign media confirmed that the live-action series "Cowboy Bebop" was canceled by Netflix. The show aired on November 19, and although the premiere attracted 74 million views and was one of the top ten most watched shows, it received a lot of negative reviews from the media and audiences, causing the series to quickly decline in viewing volume a few weeks after it aired. Netflix also announced the cancellation of the series without mercy, making the first season of the live-action series "Cowboy Bebop" the only season.

Currently, on the change.org website, a petition for a live-action reboot of Cowboy Bebop is collecting thousands of signatures, with 2,800 signatures now and the number is still rising. Fans are calling on Netflix to continue making the series, hoping that Netflix will give it another chance to impress the audience.

Of course, there are also some viewers who celebrate the cancellation of the series, who feel that the live-action drama is too different from the original "Cowboy Bebop" comics. Even some fans who petitioned agree with this, but they feel that even so, the "Cowboy Bebop" live-action script can be released for another season, and it will not be ruthlessly cancelled after only one season.

The person who initially broke the news of the show's cancellation explained that it was because of a significant drop in viewership after the first week. But all this shows is that Netflix is ​​only concerned with the short term, suggesting that any future Netflix series will have to be an immediate breakout success in order to keep the IP going. It sounds cruel, but it's not the first time Netflix has done this.
