The Cowboy Bebop watch order is 26 episodes plus one film, and the correct order slots Cowboy Bebop: The Movie between episodes 23 and 24. Begin with episodes 1 through 23, which is where the movie fits chronologically, since its story takes place before the series finale. Watch the film there, then return to finish episodes 24 through 26. That is the entire franchise: a single 26-episode run with one theatrical movie, and no OVAs or specials to track down. If you would rather not interrupt the series, you can also save the movie for after episode 26 without missing anything essential, since it stands as a self-contained side story. But for viewers who want events in chronological order, dropping it in after episode 23 is exactly where it was designed to sit.

## The order

1. Season 1: Episodes 1-23
2. Season 1: Cowboy Bebop: The Movie (movie)
3. Season 1: Episodes 24-26
