The television anime concluded because it was planned as a faithful, direct adaptation of Riichiro Inagaki and Boichi's completed manga series, which wrapped up its publication in March 2022.

Prior to the final installment, the series produced three main television seasons comprising 57 standard broadcast episodes. This count includes 24 episodes in Season 1, 11 episodes in Season 2: Stone Wars, and 22 episodes across the split-cour Season 3: New World.
Yes, TMS Entertainment produced the official canonical television special titled Dr. STONE: Ryusui, which aired on Tokyo MX in July 2022. Bridging the narrative between Stone Wars and New World, the special directly integrates key manga events and introduces the character Ryusui Nanami.
