Given this early critical response, it seems unlikely that a second season would be greenlit unless Netflix dramatically overhauls its approach. Some critics argue that the core problem isn't necessarily the adaptation itself but the execution—specifically, whether the series could have benefited from being an original work inspired by the anime, rather than a direct remake.
This controversy extends beyond Cowboy Bebop.

Industry insiders warn that attempting to adapt such beloved and visually distinctive properties without a deep understanding of their essence risks alienating fans and critics alike.
