📅 Release recap
Our honest read: Already concluded — Dr. Stone: Science Future = Season 4 = the final season, finished airing June 25, 2026. No additional season is coming because the anime adapts the manga to its endpoint; the only remaining releases are home-video (the English Science Future Part 1 Blu-ray is dated June 30, 2026).

📖 What it covered
Cour 3 adapted the final manga arcs: the Kingdom of Science's space program and lunar mission, the confrontation with Why-man, and the resolution of the petrification mystery — covering the manga through its ending (vol. 26 / ch. 232).
🔚 Where Cour 2 (Science Future Part 2) ended
Cour 2 carried the story through the South America voyage and the deepening petrification / Why-man mystery, setting up the build toward the space-mission climax. Cour 1 had ended on the resolution of the Dr. Xeno / American-colony confrontation.
Keep reading: The manga is fully complete (Riichiro Inagaki & Boichi, 232 chapters / 26 volumes, ended March 2022). Science Future adapts the remaining post-New-World story straight to the manga's ending, so the anime has now caught up to and concluded the source — there is no further material left to adapt.
🎙️ English dub
Crunchyroll streamed the English dub of all three cours day-and-date with the Japanese broadcast; Cour 3 dub episodes dropped Thursdays alongside subs through the June 25, 2026 finale.
📺 Where to watch
- Crunchyroll (all four seasons, sub & dub) — the streaming home
- Netflix: earlier seasons only, in ~15 select regions (not the US); no Science Future date announced
- Home video: Cour 3 collected in a single Blu-ray/DVD box (episodes 25-37)
❓ FAQ
Is 'Science Future' really Season 4?
Yes — it's the fourth and final season of the Dr. Stone anime, following S1 (2019), S2 Stone Wars (2021) and S3 New World (2023).
Is Dr. Stone Season 4 finished?
Yes. Science Future ran across three cours and its series finale aired June 25, 2026, completing the anime.
Wait — there were three parts?
Correct. Science Future was split into THREE cours, not two: Cour 1 (Jan–Mar 2025), Cour 2 (Jul–Sep 2025) and the final Cour 3 (Apr 2–Jun 25, 2026).
How does it end?
With the Kingdom of Science's moon mission, the confrontation with Why-man, and the answer to the petrification that froze humanity — the manga's true ending.
Where can I watch it?
Crunchyroll streams all four seasons worldwide outside Japan, in both subtitled and same-day English-dubbed versions.
When will Dr. Stone Season 4 come to Netflix?
No Netflix date for Science Future has been announced, and there may never be one — Crunchyroll holds the streaming home for all four seasons (sub and dub). Netflix carries only the earlier seasons, and only in about 15 select regions (Australia, Brazil, Argentina and others) — not in the US. If you're waiting for Season 4 on Netflix, Crunchyroll is realistically the only place to watch it.
How many episodes does Science Future have?
37 in total: Cour 1 has episodes 1-12, Cour 2 has 13-24, and Cour 3 has 25-37 (confirmed by the single Blu-ray box listing all 13 final-cour episodes). If you saw the finale numbered differently, some trackers count it as episode 232 of the franchise-wide order — within Science Future it is episode 37, aired June 25, 2026.
Will there be a Dr. Stone Season 5 or Season 6?
No. Science Future was announced and produced as the final season, and it adapted the manga through its actual ending — there is no more story left to adapt, so no Season 5 or 6 is coming. Any page giving you a 'Season 5 release date' is guessing at best. The only realistic future for the franchise is a spin-off or original project, and none has been announced.
