Daniella Pineda is Bebop-in’ along…

Netflix has released the title sequence for its Cowboy Bebop live-action series, starring the 34-year-old Mexican American actress.

Daniella Pineda

The streamer revealed its own take on the original series’ jazzy theme “Tank!” by Seatbelts at its fan event Tudum on Saturday.

The new Cowboy Bebop title sequence mimics the original’s character silhouettes and rhythmic cuts, almost entirely. Its flair comes with footage of villains, and additional characters and, of course, a shadow of the lovable corgi Ein.

Based on Shinichirō Watanabe’s cult anime series, Cowboy Bebop follows a group of misfit bounty hunters, led by John Cho’s Spike Spiegel as they search for the galaxy’s most valuable criminals.

Mustafa Shakir also stars as Spike’s trusted co-pilot Jet Black and Pineda as the highly-skilled bounty hunter Faye Valentine.

The ragtag group of bounty hunters go from target to target, while trying to outrun their past.

The series also features Alex Hassell, Geoff Stults, Tamara Tunie, Mason Alexander Park, Rachel House, Ann Truong and Hoa Xuande.

Netflix’s Cowboy Bebop adaptation will premiere Friday, November 19.
