Netflix to stream JoJo's Steel Ball Run new episodes Sep 25

The anime adaptation of "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run" will return for new episodes on Friday, September 25, 2026, streaming exclusively on Netflix. The announcement was made during a panel at Anime Expo 2026, ending months of uncertainty following the series' initial two-episode premiere earlier this year.

The upcoming release will cover the second and third stages of the cross-country horse race, comprising a batch of 11 episodes that will be released weekly. This marks a shift from the series' debut, which consisted of a single, extended special. The weekly format has been welcomed by fans who had expressed frustration over the lengthy gap and unclear schedule after the premiere in March.

The story follows Johnny Joestar, a paraplegic former jockey, and his enigmatic partner Gyro Zeppeli as they compete in the Steel Ball Run race across 1890s America. What begins as a competition for a massive cash prize quickly evolves into a supernatural conspiracy involving powerful "Stand" users. The new episodes will see the racers traverse a treacherous 750-mile stretch of desert known as the Devil's Palm, where mysterious deaths and hidden motives escalate the tension.
