The Sad and Embarrassing Failure of Netflix’s Cowboy Bebop
#CowboyBebop #Netflix
On December 9th, The Hollywood Reporter broke the exclusive scoop that Netflix “Cowboy Bebop” had been cancelled, a mere three weeks since the show’s debut.
The rest of the trades soon picked up on the story, and from there, the embarrassingly premature and early cancellation of Cowboy Bebop was picked up by every website, blog and Youtube channel covering the entertainment industry. Usually, shows are cancelled with little fanfare, as news like that are normally swept under the rug – but this got almost more attention that the shows initial announcement, which is unusual; and adding insult to injury, fan reactions to the cancellation generally ranged from indifference to outright schadenfreude.
We’ll explore all of that in this editorial, as we go through how this could have gone so wrong, the responses to the cancellation, and finally, what lessons should be taken from this.
