Anthony Bourdain’s Get Jiro! Trailer Unleashes Ultra-Violent Culinary Warfare on Adult Swim
Anthony Bourdain's bestselling graphic novel Get Jiro! is heading to Adult Swim as an ultra-violent, chef-driven dystopian animated series premiering October 3.
When the late, great Anthony Bourdain co-authored the 2012 graphic novel Get Jiro! alongside Joel Rose and artist Langdon Foss, he brought his signature blend of culinary obsession, rebellious grit, and cultural commentary to the world of DC Comics. Now, Warner Bros. Animation and DC Studios are breathing gloriously bloody life into that dystopian vision. The newly dropped red-band trailer for the upcoming Adult Swim adaptation promises an uncompromising, hyper-violent descent into a near-future Los Angeles where gastronomy is the ultimate currency, and master chefs operate with the ruthless authority of cartel kingpins. Featuring a stellar voice cast led by Brian Tee as the stoic, knife-wielding protagonist Jiro, alongside Titus Welliver, Alison Pill, and Justin Kirk, this 10-episode series looks ready to carve out a massive legacy on Toonami.
A Culinary Wasteland Where Food and Violence Collide
The newly unveiled footage showcases a dystopian Los Angeles where high-end dining establishments function as heavily armed criminal territories. Customers literally risk life and limb just to secure a table, while rival culinary syndicates wage bloody turf wars over recipes and culinary supremacy. At the center of this culinary apocalypse is Jiro, a mysterious sushi chef armed with unmatched knife skills and an absolute intolerance for gastronomic sacrilege—as evidenced by a brutally visceral confrontation sparked entirely by a customer’s misuse of soy sauce. Developed by Brian Gatewood and Alessandro Tanaka with executive producers Jordan Blum and Sam Register, the series captures the raw essence of Bourdain’s original vision. As Adult Swim President Michael Ouweleen aptly noted, Bourdain’s storytelling always began with food before expanding outward to dissect human obsession, culture, and our wonderfully problematic nature. Mark your calendars, because this mouthwatering massacre premieres on Adult Swim on October 3 at midnight.
