Netflix's live-action adaptation of Cowboy Bebop has added six new actors to its cast.
Geoff Stults will play Chalmers, Tamara Tunie will play Ana, Mason Alexander Park will play Gren, Rachel House will play Mao and Ann Truong and Hoa Xuande will play Shin and Lin.
Official character descriptions are below:
GEOFF STULTS (He/Him) (Little Fires Everywhere, 12 Strong) as Chalmers
- Chalmers is the epitome of a Western lawman. He is also Jet Black’s former co-detective in the ISSP’s Homicide Division. He wears a chronic smile that makes you want to punch him square in the face… especially Jet. And that's only partly because Chalmers is dating his ex-wife these days.
TAMARA TUNIE (She/Her) (Black Earth Rising, Dietland) as Ana
- Ana is the proprietor of the hottest underground bluesy jazz club on Mars. And while she acts as a surrogate mom to Spike, there is nothing warm and cuddly about her. Cool and intense, Ana is definitely not a woman to be trifled with.
MASON ALEXANDER PARK (They/Them) (Hedwig and the Angry Inch National Broadway Tour) as Gren
- Gren is Ana’s right-hand person. They run the front of the house for Ana’s jazz club. As capable with their wit as a glock, as confident in a dress as a suit, they are a Bowie-esque embodiment of 22nd century handsome and seductive beauty.
RACHEL HOUSE (She/Her) (Thor Ragnarok, Soul) as Mao
- Mao is the Capo of the Syndicate's "White Tigers" family. Despite, or perhaps because of, her blue collar background, Mao is more cunning, adept, crafty and deadly than her counterparts.
ANN TRUONG (She/Her) (Strikeback!, Hard Target 2) and HOA XUANDE (He/Him) (Ronny Chieng: International Student, Top of the Lake) as Shin & Lin
- Dressed to kill (because they do), Shin and Lin serve as Vicious’ twin Syndicate henchman. Despite being fearful of their volatile boss, they are fiercely loyal to Vicious in his quest (for reasons we have yet to understand) to take down Spike Spiegel.
Based on the worldwide phenomenon from Sunrise Inc., Cowboy Bebop is the jazz-inspired, genre-bending story of Spike Spiegel, Jet Black, Faye Valentine and Radical Ed: a rag-tag crew of bounty hunters on the run from their pasts as they hunt down the solar system’s most dangerous criminals. They’ll even save the world…for the right price.
Cowboy Bebop stars John Cho as Spike Spiegel, Mustafa Shakir as Jet Black, Daniella Pineda as Faye Valentine, Alex Hassell as Vicious, Elena Satine as Julia, Geoff Stults as Chalmers, Tamara Tunie as Ana, Mason Alexander Park as Gren, Rachel House as Mao and Ann Truong and Hoa Xuande as Shin and Lin. The Netflix series has yet to receive a release date.
