Get Jiro! adapts Anthony Bourdain's graphic novel into an adult animated series, set in a Los Angeles ruled by powerful culinary factions.

Get Jiro!, the adult animated series adapted from Anthony Bourdain and Joel Rose's graphic novel, premieres on HBO Max in France on Sunday, October 4, 2026.

In a post-apocalyptic Los Angeles, food has become power, currency, and a badge of social class. The most influential chefs steer the city through rival factions that lay down the rules for its inhabitants.

Jiro, the enigmatic sushi master, enters this world with a vendetta in mind. By pitting the various culinary powers against one another, he sparks a struggle that could topple the status quo.

Brian Tee voices Jiro in the original English-language version. Titus Welliver, Alison Pill, and Justin Kirk round out the voice cast. The series is developed by Alessandro Tanaka and Brian Gatewood, with Jordan Blum and Sam Register serving as executive producers.

Since its 2012 debut, the graphic novel has blended cuisine, social satire, and violence. This adaptation from Warner Bros. Animation and DC Studios preserves that universe, where debates over culinary traditions erupt into skirmishes between crime outfits.
