The upcoming Cowboy Bebop Netflix series is on hold for seven to nine months after a serious knee injury star John Cho suffered on the set in New Zealand.
Deadline says sources described the knee injury “as a freak accident that happened on the last take of a routine and well-rehearsed scene.” After the accident, Cho was sent back to Los Angeles for a must-have surgery and “an extensive rehabilitation.”
Sources also said John Cho’s recovery is expected to last from seven to nine months. For now, the series is on hiatus, but will resume as soon as he is given the go-ahead to return.
Though this accident has happened at the early stages of recording, fans shouldn’t worry about a recast of the role of Spike Spiegel. Netflix told Deadline: “Our thoughts are with John, and he has our complete support as he recuperates from this injury.”
Cho shared a message with his followers on Instagram as well. “Water can flow or it can crash.” – Bruce Lee. Thanks for all the well wishes everyone. Gonna be back and flowing in no time!”
The live-action adaptation of the masterpiece anime series of the same name is a co-production of Netflix and Tomorrow Studios.
See you, Space Cowboy! Get well soon.
