Live-Action Series 'Yu Yu Hakusho' Premieres Worldwide on December 14

More than three decades after "Yu Yu Hakusho" first captured the imagination of readers, the beloved manga gets a live-action adaptation that will debut exclusively on Netflix on December 14.

The original manga by the legendary Yoshihiro Togashi made waves when it was serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump for four years from 1990. The series breathes new life into the story, and fans old and new can expect to encounter their favorite characters in ways that have never been seen before.

Utilizing a unique global one-team production strategy that spanned both Japan and the United States - the same approach to adapt the acclaimed "ONE PIECE" manga - Netflix took the same level of commitment to quality and authenticity in the live-action ONE PIECE to the production of Yu Yu Hakusho.

An international dream team was also assembled to bring the epic tale to the screen, tapping into the most advanced CG and VFX technologies from around the world. Known as "the most innovative VFX studio in the world" and lauded for their work on major Hollywood productions, Scanline VFX was instrumental in giving life to all the characters, both human and yokai (spirits), while delivering realistic battle action sequences.

Taking five years to complete the production of Yu Yu Hakusho, the team painstakingly ensured that the subtleties of every character's emotions were accurately depicted in the adaptation. The fusion of state-of-the-art technology and a passion for staying true to the source material promises to make this adaptation a standout in the world of live-action anime.

Watch 'Yu Yu Hakusho' on December 14, 2023, only on Netflix.
