While the third season was confirmed back in 2021, it is only now that Dr. Stone Season 3 announced its release date. Specifically, a new Dr. Stone: New World trailer was released, and it revealed the show’s split-cour release schedule.
The first cour will premiere on April 6, 2023, meaning it will be among the many major shows that are coming this Spring 2023.
Given the popularity of its manga source material as well as the previous two seasons, Dr. Stone’s third season is likely going to be a spring highlight, alongside the likes of Demon Slayer: Swordsmith Village Arc.
