JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Steel Ball Run release schedule: when is episode 2 releasing on Netflix?

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Steel Ball Run is out on Netflix, but where is episode 2? It's a good question, especially as Netflix took weeks to provide the answer, alongside the fact that the anime series has had a patchy history of release drops on the streamer.

We won't be horsing around here: below, you'll find confirmation on the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Steel Ball Run episode 2 release window, plus some more talk about episode counts and schedules. Let's hope it avoids the controversy of Stone Ocean...

While you wait, be sure to check out the new anime also debuting in the spring season, plus a look at how to watch JoJo's Bizarre Adventure in order from start to finish.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Steel Ball Run release date: when is episode 2 streaming on Netflix?

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Steel Ball Run episode 2 will release in fall 2026.

Netflix unveiled the news in April, with the following statement: "We are planning a split‑cour release across the entire run of episodes. The next cour (2nd Stage) will begin streaming in fall 2026 on Netflix, with one new episode released each week. This release schedule is part of our original plan and reflects the wishes of the production committee."

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 have a long wait until new episodes will release weekly from the fall.

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

• JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Steel Ball Run episode 1: March 19, 2026
• JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Steel Ball Run episode 2: fall 2026

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. Only one episode has aired so far.
