Is Netflix’s Yu Yu Hakusho coming in November 2022?
Unfortunately, shonen fans will have to wait longer for Netflix’s live-action Yu Yu Hakusho series. As expected, Yu Yu Hakusho is not coming to Netflix in November 2022. We double-checked the schedule of Netflix movies and TV shows coming in November 2022, and it doesn’t include the highly-anticipated live-action adaptation. The good news is that Netflix has already confirmed a release date window for the highly-anticipated live-action adaptation of one of the greatest shonen series of all time.
When is the live-action Yu Yu Hakusho coming to Netflix?
Netflix already confirmed that the first season of the live-action Yu Yu Hakusho series won’t be released until December 2023.
Kazutaka Sakamoto, the producer of the live-action Yu Yu Hakusho, is also the executive producer behind Netflix’s live-action adaptation of Alice in Borderland, which won’t release its second season on Netflix until December 2022. This could explain why Yu Yu Hakusho won’t be released until December 2023 if Sakamoto and the crew behind Alice in Borderland Season 2 are currently focused on that series.
