Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Steel Ball Run release schedule: when are new episodes out?

As of right now, only one episode of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Steel Ball Run has been confirmed: the premiere, a bumper-length entry entitled '1st STAGE'.

In the past, Netflix has drawn fans' ire by dropping the entire first cour for Stone Ocean and then leaving fans empty-handed for another eight months. It appears the streamer may have learned its lesson, but we're still none the wiser on when new episodes will be released.

With that in mind, we should look ahead to AnimeJapan 2026 and the JoJo panel on March 28. We're likely to get a glimpse at release plans then.

For now, here's the current confirmed JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Steel Ball Run release schedule

Where to watch JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Steel Ball Run and episode count speculation

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Steel Ball Run, which follows a unique cross-country horseback race in 19th Century America, will be streaming exclusively on Netflix.

While no episode count has been confirmed, we can expect more news at this month's AnimeJapan. We anticipate, however, that it will likely last for around 38-40 episodes, in line with previous seasons.
