Fans and cast members of the show are taking their devastation to social media.

Less than a month after its release, Netflix has announced the cancellation of the highly-anticipated show Cowboy Bebop.
The series, based on the 1998 anime cartoon of the same name, follows bounty hunters Spike Spiegel (John Cho), Jet Black (Mustafa Shakir), and Faye Valentine (Daniella Pineda) as they travel across space to catch some of the galaxy's biggest criminals.
Fans of the original anime series were thrilled to see their favorite characters come to life. Since its debut, Cowboy Bebop has garnered over 74 million viewing hours around the world, however, the numbers fell 59 percent less than two weeks following its premiere.

After news broke about the cancellation, the show's cast and crew members took to social media to share their thoughts.
&ldquo;I truly loved working on this,&rdquo;&nbsp;tweeted co-executive producer Javier Grillo-Marxuach. &ldquo;It came from a real and pure place of respect and affection.&rdquo;
He continued, "I wish we could make what we planned for a second season, but you know what they say, men plan, god laughs. See you Space Cowboy."
Mason Alexander Park, who plays non-binary jazz musician Gren, responded to Grill-Marxuach, saying it was "a joy to work on this with you.&rdquo;
As the lead, many fans looked to Cho for his take on the situation, but the actor only shared a Gif of Tom Selleck holding back tears, saying, "I'm Okay."&nbsp;
Typically, Netflix waits at least 28 days before officially canceling a show, however, despite fan appreciation, the series' high budgets mixed with its poor reviews are likely what finalized the streaming giant's decision.
