Dr. STONE: SCIENCE FUTURE Part 3 Release Date, Trailer & What’s Next for Senku (April 2026)

Science isn’t done saving the world just yet.

After steadily rebuilding civilization one invention at a time, Dr. STONE: SCIENCE FUTURE is officially returning with Part 3 (Cour 3) — and the latest teaser revealed at Jump Festa 2026 confirms a April 2026 premiere. This next chapter promises higher stakes, bolder science, and the continuation of Senku Ishigami’s ultimate experiment: restoring humanity through reason.

Dr. STONE SCIENCE FUTURE Part 3: Release Date & Where to Watch

Here’s the confirmed information fans are searching for:

• Premiere Window: April 2026

• Season: Dr. STONE: SCIENCE FUTURE – Part 3 (Cour 3)

• Streaming Platform: Crunchyroll

• Announcement Venue: Jump Festa 2026

An exact day hasn’t been announced yet, but the April 2026 window is official.

What Is Dr. STONE: SCIENCE FUTURE About?

Set thousands of years after a mysterious phenomenon turns all of humanity to stone, Dr. STONE follows the genius scientist Senku Ishigami, who awakens in a world where civilization has completely collapsed.

Rather than ruling by force or magic, Senku chooses science.

Starting from scratch — fire, tools, electricity, medicine — Senku and his allies aim to rebuild human progress step by step, covering nearly two million years of scientific history, from the Stone Age to the modern era.

SCIENCE FUTURE represents the story’s endgame, where knowledge itself becomes the ultimate weapon.

What Part 3 (Cour 3) Means for the Story

Part 3 isn’t filler — it’s forward momentum.

This cour continues the final phase of Senku’s journey, where:

• Scientific innovation accelerates

• Ideological clashes sharpen

• The cost of progress becomes clearer

As the Kingdom of Science pushes closer to restoring the world, every decision matters. Science can save humanity — but it can also divide it.

Expect bigger inventions, tougher moral choices, and consequences that stick.

New Trailer Teases Escalation, Not Reset

The teaser trailer shown at Jump Festa 2026 doesn’t slow things down. Instead, it signals:

• Larger-scale engineering challenges

• Heightened tension between factions

• A sense that the “experiment” is nearing its most dangerous phase

This isn’t about surviving the stone world anymore — it’s about what kind of world should exist when humanity returns.

Returning Staff & Studio Confidence

The core creative team remains intact, ensuring consistency in tone and storytelling:

• Director: Shuhei Matsushita

• Series Composition: Kurasumi Sunayama

• Character Design: Yuko Iwasa

• Music: Tatsuya Kato, Hiroaki Tsutsumi, Yukihiro Kanesaka

• Studio: TMS Entertainment

This continuity is key, especially as the story approaches its most complex themes.

Manga Context: Why This Arc Hits Harder

The original manga by Riichiro Inagaki (story) and Boichi (art):

• Ran in Weekly Shonen Jump from 2017 to 2022

• Spanned 27 volumes

• Is fully completed

That means the anime is now adapting late-stage material, where:

• Character arcs converge

• Long-term setups pay off

• The philosophical core of the series becomes explicit

SCIENCE FUTURE is where Dr. STONE says what it’s always been building toward.

Where to Catch Up Before April 2026

If you’re new or need a refresher:

• All previous Dr. STONE seasons are streaming on Crunchyroll

• Part 3 builds directly on earlier events — watching in order is strongly recommended

This is a cumulative story; every invention counts.

Why Dr. STONE Still Feels Different From Other Anime

While many series rely on power escalation, Dr. STONE escalates ideas.

It stands out because:

• Knowledge beats brute strength

• Progress is earned, not inherited

• Science is treated as a shared human legacy

Part 3 doubles down on that identity — and challenges it.

Final Thoughts

Dr. STONE: SCIENCE FUTURE Part 3 isn’t just another cour — it’s the continuation of anime’s most ambitious science-driven narrative.

With a confirmed April 2026 premiere, a strong creative team, and the final-stage story unfolding, this next chapter brings Senku closer to the ultimate question:

If you can rebuild the world… how do you decide what it becomes?

Science marches on next spring.
