JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean is already set to premiere this December but it looks like Netflix might be making some changes to the upcoming release. The streaming service has reportedly removed Season 6's release schedule later this year and it could mean Netflix has other plans for the anime.
Back in August, it was confirmed that JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Season 6 will premiere on Netflix in December. However, it was not revealed whether all episodes will be released on the same day or if the episodes will be released on a weekly basis. A later report cited that Netflix itself confirmed that the anime is set for a monthly release, possibly dropping episodes by story arc.
But did Netflix decide against the monthly release? Several outlets have pointed out that the streaming giant removed the "releasing monthly" note in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 6 listing on its website. This led to speculations that the anime might be delayed or that Netflix is reconsidering its release at the end of the year.
Although it might be alarming for fans, there is a huge possibility that Netflix has removed the schedule because JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Season 5 will release on a weekly basis. This would be very different from the streaming service's usual schedule but it would fit with the way anime is usually released.
The fifth season of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure will focus on Jolyne Cujoh, who has been imprisoned after being framed for murder. While incarcerated, she gets a visit from her father Jotaro Kujo, who reveals who had framed her and urges her to escape.
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean has not yet been given an official release date. However, Season 5 is already expected to premiere on Netflix in December 2021. Stay tuned for more updates on this story.
