EW's editorial guidelines Published on August 23, 2021 09:00AM EDT Three, two, one, let's jam! Star Trek and Searching star John Cho debuts as sci-fi bounty hunter Spike Spiegel in a batch of first-look photos of Cowboy Bebop, the live-action Netflix series based on the beloved anime of the same name. Cho is every cosplayer's dream in these images. The actor replicates the character's classic jazzed-up double-breasted suit from the original 26-episode series and the 2001 movie, which were both directed by Japanese filmmaker Shinichirō Watanabe.

Cho grew out his locks to channel Spike's signature hairdo. A mere glimpse during Netflix's Geeked Week in June got Cho's name trending on Twitter. (The power of the hair!) Now, we see it in all its glory. The photos also reveal Spike's bounty hunter cohorts in live-action. Mustafa Shakir (The Deuce) costars as Jet Black, while Daniella Pineda (Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom) features as Faye Valentine. No Cowboy Bebop adaptation would be complete without Ein, the data dog. Sure enough, Pineda is seen walking the intellectually enhanced corgi.
