What is the Samurai Champloo live-action project’s release date? The Cowboy Bebop 2021 live-action series just got its first proper trailer and confirmation of a November 19 release on Netflix, but is there a release date for the Samurai Champloo live-action TV series too? Is it even a TV series, or is it a Samurai Champloo movie instead? Here is the need-to-know information on the Samurai Champloo Netflix live-action show.
Is there a Samurai Champloo live-action release date?
The Samurai Champloo live-action project has been confirmed but does not have a release date, so it likely won’t be out until at least 2023.
The above release date estimate goes entirely by the two-year gap between the Cowboy Bebop live-action show’s announcement in 2019 and its launch date next month.
A live-action adaptation of Samurai Champloo was confirmed by producer Kelly McCormick in an interview earlier this year. Samurai Champloo was the next anime series after Cowboy Bebop from director Shinichirō Watanabe, so if Cowboy Bebop is successful for Netflix then Samurai Champloo might be put on the fast-track for a release.
Is the Samurai Champloo live-action project a TV series or a movie?
The live-action Samurai Champloo will be a TV series, according to producer Kelly McCormick, so it will probably end up being closer to Cowboy Bebop than the live-action Ghost in the Shell adaptation.
Is Samurai Champloo live-action a Netflix show?
It is entirely possible that the Samurai Champloo TV show will be a Netflix series, especially if Cowboy Bebop is a success for them, as the anime is currently streaming on Netflix. However, this is by no means guaranteed as it’s still probably being negotiated.
As for the Cowboy Bebop live-action series, it’s due out on November 19, so supporting that is the best way to ensure Samurai Champloo happens quickly. It’s got a cute corgi, at least.
