Overview
- Netflix confirmed that Banana Fish will debut on its service on August 12, 2026, with availability in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, and France.
- The streamer said it produced exclusive, newly recorded English and French dubs and published lead cast names for the two main characters.
- The confirmed dub cast lists Brandon McInnis and Jonathan Tanigaki as the English voices of Ash Lynx and Eiji Okumura and Sébastien Baulain and Grégory Laisné as their French voices.
- The move follows a 2025 episode in which Prime Video released an AI-generated English dub that drew wide fan and industry backlash and was later removed.
- Sentai Filmworks remains the series distributor and the Netflix release ends the show’s prior platform limits while underscoring a wider industry shift back toward human-performed localization to protect quality and voice actors’ work.
