Netflix is a good start, though their offerings can be as unpredictable as Spike Spiegel's next move. Same goes for Hulu and Amazon Prime Video. Keep an eye out, the movie rotates on those services from time to time, depending on licensing agreements. You might get lucky!
Crunchyroll is a solid bet. This platform is anime central, after all. They tend to keep Cowboy Bebop in rotation, and it is well worth checking!
Pro-Tip: Use a website like JustWatch to see which streaming platforms currently have Cowboy Bebop: Knockin' on Heaven's Door available in your region. It's like having Faye Valentine do the research for you, minus the exorbitant fees.
