The anime series Dr. Stone has had two seasons out and we know a third one is coming. As part of the Jump Festa 2022 event earlier this year, it was revealed that the third season is now set for a 2023 debut. With the way productions are running these days and the ongoing rolling fallout of COVID-19, this is not a surprise. With the new special out that focuses on Ryusui already out, the main focus is on the new spring 2023 series going under the subtitle of New World.
The third season was set with an April 6th, 2023 premiere for it, and Crunchyroll has it rolling out along with several different dubs being produced for it. The latest update for it is a new key visual from the animation team that lets us check out the cast as their journey continues below!
