*Bass X Machina* is a Netflix animated series set in a steampunk western where outlaws, machines, and supernatural threats collide. To protect his family, the protagonist takes on the roles of judge, jury, and executioner. The choices he makes in the name of justice are both a means of protecting his family and a risk that could cost him the people he loves. Its U.S. Netflix release date is November 3, 2026.

A world revealed through a bar brawl

As its title suggests, this video puts a brawl inside a bar front and center. It condenses the lawless landscape of the desolate West presented by the series. The clash of gunfire and hand-to-hand combat shows how disputes in this world can erupt into immediate violence rather than proceed through institutions, while also connecting to the official premise in which machines and supernatural horror coexist.

The price of justice for family

The official synopsis defines this story not simply as a bounty hunt, but as one father’s choice. Taking on the responsibility of establishing order alone may be effective in defeating his enemies, but it comes at the cost of potentially damaging his relationship with his family. The released action is therefore less a standalone spectacle than an entry point into the series’ central conflict, where protection and punishment collide.

The creators and voice cast

The series was created by LeSean Thomas, with Studio Mir serving as the animation studio. Brian Tyree Henry, Tati Gabrielle, and Cree Summer star, and Henry also serves as an executive producer. Netflix describes the series as encompassing action, fantasy, and science fiction.
