Get Jiro! is a 2026 animated action and satire series from Warner Bros. Animation and DC Studios, released through Adult Swim. Based on the graphic novels by Anthony Bourdain and Joel Rose, the series transforms a familiar modern obsession with food, restaurants, and culinary status into a brutal dystopian adventure. Its setting is a near-future Los Angeles where chefs have become the most powerful figures in society.Show More
In this unusual world, food is more than something people eat. It represents wealth, authority, social standing, and control. Restaurant culture has taken over everyday life, and the most influential chefs command territories, enforce culinary rules, and compete for dominance. Independent restaurants struggle to survive under restrictive systems controlled by powerful culinary factions.
At the center of the story is Jiro, a mysterious and exceptionally skilled sushi chef who pursues vengeance while refusing to compromise his personal standards. His quiet nature hides a dangerous past, and his strict approach to preparing sushi reflects a much larger belief in discipline, tradition, and respect for craftsmanship. His choices set off a chain of violent confrontations in a city where even food preferences can become matters of life and death.
Two major forces dominate this culinary battlefield. Bob is a ruthless traditional French chef who uses influence and intimidation to maintain his position. Rose, his fierce rival, champions vegan cuisine, local ingredients, and environmentally conscious food production. Despite their contrasting philosophies, both possess the ambition and determination to control the city's culinary future. Their rivalry threatens smaller establishments and draws other characters into increasingly dangerous conflicts.
The series also introduces Maria Guerrero, who runs a Mexican restaurant with her younger sister, Cam. Their family business represents the independent neighborhood restaurants caught between the city's powerful factions. Through characters like Maria, the story explores loyalty, survival, family, and the courage required to resist an oppressive system. The series balances dark humor, intense action, food culture, and social satire throughout its ten-episode first season.
