What to Expect

PremiereLens read

Each arc of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure restarts with a new Joestar, a new era, and a new set of rules for how power works. Victorian gothic gives way to pulpy 1930s adventure, then to a globe-spanning chase, then a small-town murder mystery, then a mafia infiltration story set in Naples. The tonal range is genuinely wide, and the shift between parts feels less like a sequel and more like a new show built on the same bloodline.

That bloodline is the through-line, a hereditary rivalry between the Joestar family and the forces that keep returning to threaten it, most persistently Dio Brando, who casts a shadow across multiple arcs even when absent. Confrontations tend to resolve through elaborate ability-versus-ability duels where the logic of each power system gets stress-tested to its limit, making the climaxes feel more like puzzles than pure spectacle.

Official Premise

Chronicles the struggles of the cursed Joestar bloodline against the forces of evil. Beginning in 1880, Part I follows Jonathan Joestar as he matures with and eventually combats his adoptive brother, the cunning, merciless Dio Brando. Set in 1938, Part II follows the misadventures of Joseph Joestar, grandson of Jonathan, as he masters the Ripple in order to combat hostile, ancient super-beings named the Pillar Men; creators of the Stone Mask. Part III follows Jotaro Kujo and his group as they journey from Tokyo to Cairo to save his mother's life by defeating his family's resurrected archenemy, Dio. In Part IV, an Arrow manifesting latent Stand abilities travels throughout Morioh, Japan in 1999; as high-schooler Josuke Higashikata (illegitimate son of Joseph) and friends seek out the culprit of a series of decade-long homicides. Set in 2001, Part V follows Giorno Giovanna, son of Dio, and his ambition to rise within the Neapolitan mafia by subverting its most powerful gang: Passione.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians

Hulu • Dec 10, 2025

DramaFamily

Demigod Percy Jackson leads a quest across America to prevent a war among the Olympian gods.

View show

Strongest Match

Percy Jackson and the Olympians keeps the same fast, supernatural adventure energy as JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, with monsters, family pressure, and nonstop momentum. The quest-style run of dangerous encounters and quick banter scratches that “new threat, new power, keep moving” itch, just with more modern humor and road-trip warmth.

X-Men '97

Disney+ • Jul 1, 2026

AnimationAction

A band of mutants use their uncanny gifts to protect a world that hates and fears them; they're challenged like never before, forced to face a dangerous and unexpected new future.

View show

Why this pick

X-Men '97 delivers the same animated punch of ability-on-ability conflict and found-family loyalty as JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. The characters face constant danger in public and private, with serialized consequences that make every win cost something, and the tone stays grittier and more grounded than JoJo’s globe-hopping spectacle.

The Sandman

Netflix • Jul 3, 2025

DramaAction & Adventure

Upon escaping after decades of imprisonment by a mortal wizard, Dream, the personification of dreams, sets about to reclaim his lost equipment.

View show

Why this pick

The Sandman trades JoJo's duel-heavy action for mythic, eerie storytelling, but it still hits the same supernatural obsession with cursed power and escalating dread. Dream’s world is full of strange encounters and personal consequences, with tension that builds through atmosphere and character moments, making it slower, darker, and more intimate than JoJo’s frequent high-impact fights.
