Apart from the announcement of Trigun Stampede's English dub voice cast, the series confirmed that Johnny Yong Bosch will be returning as protagonist Vash. While this was previously announced, fans are equally excited to see the voice actor once again returning to reprise his role.

He also voiced several popular characters in a number of video game adaptations of renowned anime series.

Jeremy Inman is directing the English dub, with Dallas Reid as assistant director.

Trigun Stampede serves as a more canonical adaptation of the 2003 Trigun anime. The original series was being released as the manga series was concluding, resulting in many filler episodes and an anime-original ending. This conclusion is different from what was seen in the manga series, which is considered the official ending for the story.
The story follows protagonist Vash the Stampede, a gunman on the run who is involved in plenty of misadventures because of a “60 billion double dollar” bounty on his head. Vash has earned the “Stampede” nickname due to the destruction that bounty hunters in pursuit of the reward money wreak on any town they visit. Ironically, this damage is often attributed to Vash, further increasing his bounty.
