Oracle Status: Series Completed
Senku Ishigami’s grand scientific voyage has officially reached its ultimate destination. After spanning four ambitious seasons, TMS Entertainment concluded the flagship adaptation with the broadcast of Dr. STONE: Science Future Cour 3 on Tokyo MX in June 2026. The 37-episode final season faithfully brought Riichiro Inagaki and Boichi’s complete narrative arc to a close, conquering petrification and fulfilling the Kingdom of Science’s interstellar dreams.
While the core television run is wrapped, the franchise refuses to remain static. Studio producers recently confirmed development on an adaptation of the epilogue material, Dr. STONE: Terraforming. Although the mainline series has bowed out, celebratory OVAs and supplementary projects are poised to keep the flame of scientific discovery burning.
