Adult Swim unveils the first official trailer for the adult animated series “Get Jiro,” adapting Anthony Bourdain and Joel Rose’s graphic novels. Multiple outlets describe a red-band, NSFW preview featuring action and extreme violence, set around a stoic sushi chef named Jiro caught in escalating conflict involving rival restaurants.
The series is framed in a near-future, post-apocalyptic Los Angeles where elite chefs hold power and culinary battles drive the plot. Hollywood Reporter adds that the show’s premiere date is included with the rollout, while also noting that Warner Bros. Animation and DC Studios are behind the adaptation. The voice cast is consistent across coverage, with Brian Tee starring as Jiro, alongside Titus Welliver and Alison Pill (with other credited cast including Justin Kirk). Outlets broadly agree the trailer serves as fans’ first look at the animated interpretation of the source material, emphasizing its intense tone and action style.
Overall, the reporting centers on the same key points: the Adult Swim trailer debut, the series’ bloody red-band presentation, its Los Angeles/chef-power setting, and the casting and production credits tied to the Bourdain-Rose graphic novels.
