An animated series titled "Get Jiro," adapted from a graphic novel series by Anthony Bourdain and Joel Rose, is set to premiere on HBO Max. The show will be available for streaming from Sunday, 4 October.
The series is set in a near-future, lawless Los Angeles where food is the primary non-digital pleasure, and chefs are highly regarded. The story follows sushi master Jiro, who finds himself in a survival battle after upsetting mobsters.
The animation features gory deaths and celebrates food culture, reflecting Bourdain's appreciation for food as a sensory experience.
