Yoshihiro Togashi’s beloved supernatural adventure Yu Yu Hakusho is getting a live-action animation adaptation at Netflix. The series, which began filming in the summer of 2021, won’t be arriving until December 2023, but we’ll be keeping you up to date with everything you need to know about Yu Yu Hakusho season 1 on Netflix.
Yu Yu Hakusho is an upcoming Japanese Netflix Original supernatural action-adventure series and the live-action adaptation of Yoshihiro Togashi’s manga series of the same name.
The series is being helmed by Kazutaka Sakamoto, the same executive producer behind Alice in Borderland, The Naked Director, Ride or Die, Aggretsuko, Rilkkuma and Karou, Devil Man Crybaby, and more.
When is the Yu Yu Hakusho season 1 Netflix release date?
It has already been confirmed ahead of time that Yu Yu Hakusho season 1 won’t be coming to Netflix until December 2023.
Kazutaka Sakamoto, the producer of the Yu Yu Hakusho, is also the executive producer behind the popular Alice in Borderland live-action adaptation, which doesn’t arrive on Netflix until December 2022. This could explain why Yu Yu Hakusho isn’t coming until December 2023 if Sakamoto and the team behind Alice in Borderland season 2 are currently busy.
What is the plot of Yu Yu Hakusho?
14-year-old Yusuke Urameshi is killed after pushing a child out of the way of oncoming traffic. Thanks to his delinquent nature, the Spirit World is shocked that such a person would sacrifice themselves. Upon learning that it wasn’t his time to die, Yusuke is given the chance to be resurrected and is brought back to life. When Yusuke returns to the living world, he becomes a spirit detective, an investigator of the supernatural.
Who are the cast members of Yu Yu Hakusho?
It is already well known that Takumi Kitamura will take on the lead role of Yusuke Urameshi in Yu Yu Hakusho.
Kitamura currently plays the lead role of Hanagaki Takemichi in the live-action adaptation of the popular anime and manga series, Tokyo Revengers.
It’s been hard to find, but a Japanese source has reported that Ryusei Yokohoma, Go Ayano, Jun Shison, and Kanata Hongo have been cast. It is believed that Jun Shison has been cast as Kurama and that Kanata Hongo will be cast as Hiel.
Multiple fan accounts and other Twitter accounts have also tweeted about the reported casting.
