Outer space is limitless… and so, it seems, is ammunition.

Netflix has released the official trailer for its live-action Cowboy Bebop reboot, and it gives us a better idea of what to expect when the series premieres on Friday, Nov. 19. In the trailer — which you can watch above — we meet John Cho’s bounty hunter, who’s back after being presumed dead. “They tried to kill me, Anna,” he tells a friend. “If you need to find me, I go by Spike Spiegel these days.”

Spike soon joins forces with the massive Jet Black (Mustafa Shakir), who pilots a rickety old spaceship through the solar system looking for fresh bounties. Filling out their trio is the sassy Faye Valentine (Daniella Pineda), who offers them “a 60/40 split… going my way, of course.” (Yeah, Spike doesn’t like her very much.) Together, they get into high-flying karate-kicking showdowns and fire a whole bunch of bullets in their quest for bounty-hunting fortune.

“Are you good guys or bad guys?” a woman asks Spike. He cracks a wry smile before answering: “Depends on who you ask.”

Based on the classic Japanese anime series that found a cult following here in the U.S. on Adult Swim, Cowboy Bebop follows “a scrappy, snarky crew ready to hunt down the solar system’s most dangerous criminals — for the right price,” per the official description. “But they can only kick and quip their way out of so many scuffles before their pasts finally catch up with them.”
