The wait for Netflix’s live-action adaptation of Cowboy Bebop will be a little longer than expected, as Deadline reports production is shut down for seven to nine months. Unfortunately the pause is due to an unspecified injury suffered by lead actor John Cho on the show’s set in New Zealand that will require surgery and rehabilitation.

According to the report, the show was a few episodes into its 10-episode order when the incident occurred, and now things will wait until next year to resume filming. In a statement, a Netflix spokesperson said “Our thoughts are with John and he has our complete support as he recuperates from this injury.”

While there are still roles on the show to be filled, including for a hacker known as Radical Ed, Netflix’s take on the classic anime is starting to take shape. The company first announced plans for a live-action Cowboy Bebop late last year with Shinichiro Watanabe, director of the anime series, on board as a consultant. The show, which will be co-produced by Tomorrow Studios, will get an initial 10 episode run. According to Variety, Thor: The Dark World and Thor: Ragnarok screenwriter Christopher Yost will pen the first episode.
