They're only doing 10 episodes? It'll just be a one season show?

John Cho injured on set of Netflix’s COWBOY BEBOP. 7-9 month hiatus.
- Thread starter Scullibundo
- Start date
They'll want to actually see some completed stuff and potentially early viewership figures before confirming a second season.
Knee injury that I gonna keep him out for 7-9 months? That's an ACL tear. It's gotta be.
I wish him a safe and speedy recovery.

Only ten episodes? Theyre somehow going to nail the main "finding a place to call home" aspect of the show in only 10eps?
Based on the fact it's a knee injury and the recovery time, it's gotta be a torn ACL.
I have zero knowledge on how production schedules work but you think they filmed at least the first episode?
They could release that to keep it in the audience's headspace. Like make it a pilot episode!
No? Ok.
Oh yeah, and get well soon. Health first and all that lol

What do other cast and crew do during that time? Other work, or insurance to cover gaps in time like this or something?
As a skateboarder that's is 34 I can confirm the truth in this statement! But it will all depend on what exactly he did to his knee, and how crazy he rehabs it.
John Cho is my favorite actor, and he is such a good guy. I really hope he has a smooth recovery!
It sounds like Netflix is not interested in recasting. From Deadline:

The idea is for this to be multiple seasons. They don't have to run through the entire story in 10 episodes.
Its amazing he is 47. He is someone that seems perpetually young to me. Like, he stars in movies where he seriously pairs off against 20-somethings as possible romantic interests and you buy it.
10 hour long episodes will have more than enough time versus a 25 ep anime.
Not how it works. They're extending episodes to a hour. Not jamming multiple in that time. The idea is for it to take multiple seasons to tell the story. Probably like at least 3 if they incorporate the movie story. Plus there's the possibility of new stories as well.
An hour long episode is different from 2 30 minute episodes. 30 minute episodes can have completely different plots while still being able to tell a good story. An hour long episode stays to a single central plot the whole episode.
Also if Netflix's Bebop doesn't have Jupiter Jazz I'm giving it a zero.
It is pretty cool of them to suspend production until John recovers, but god DAMN I can't imagine how bad tearing your ACL feels.
Surely you can think of a better word to call the stand alone episodes than filler. They're the best parts of the show.
I guess he must be in nearly every scene because otherwise they could shoot other material around him.
The anime doesn't have filler, all the non plot centric episodes serve to show more about the crew, their relation to and interactions with each other and their world. It builds their personality really well.
That's good. They have full confidence in Cho and don't want to rush this.
That's...a really strong choice actually. And he's on the "Netflix rolodex" too, so why not.
