What is Dr Stone news?
Dr. Stone is the saga of humanity after 3700 years of petrification. Senku Ishigami is a prodigal lover of science, a researcher, and inventor himself as a young teenager. In the year 2019, due to a mysterious event, the entire world is petrified like stone. Incidentally, the petrified humans do not die but retain their consciousness. And thus, 3700 years pass before our protagonist Senku, manages to break free. The world as he knew it was gone. But as a scientist, Senku was prepared to re-build humanity from scratch.
Senku finds his friends Taiju and Yuzuriha and de-petrifies them. After escaping a vicious enemy revived by them, Senku finds the Ishigami village, where people have no knowledge of the world that came before them. He figures that these people were born into the new world and were not petrified. Thus begins a journey of making new allies, confronting enemies, and reviving humanity using the power of Senku’s Kingdom of Science.

The Plot of Dr Stone Season 3
The first season of the anime aired with 24 episodes while the second season, Stone Wars had only 11 episodes. The two seasons cover approximately half of Volume 8 which concludes the Stone Wars and hints towards the arc that takes up the Age of Exploration, The Treasure Island, and the beginning of Senku’s voyages at Sea.
Season 2 concluded with the merging of the Senku’s Kingdom of Science with the Tsukasa Empire. With the threat of Tsukasa thwarted, Senku sets out to discover the source of the petrification with stopped the world 3700 years ago. While there is no official title for Dr. Stone Season 3, it is likely that it will be named after the focus of the season, which are Age of Exploration, The Treasure Island, and Sea Exploration.
To set his plan of voyaging in motion, Senku needs a ship and someone experienced in maneuvering them. Senku revives Ryusui Nanami, a rich, greedy, and eccentric brat who quickly finds a way to make money moments after being revived. Money is now is in existence as they begin printing a currency called Draco. Agriculture is also kickstarted as they quickly realize that sea voyages will need food that lasts for a long time.
Just as things are getting ready, Senku interprets a sudden radio communication. The message only says “why why why why” from an entity now called the Whyman, who could be the entity responsible for the petrification of the world 3700 years ago.
Dr Stone Season 3 Release
Dr. Stone Season 1 and 2 were released with a gap of two years. With the announcement of Season 3 already in place, when could Dr. Stone Season 3 possibly be arriving? Well, we have some theories.
Season 1 contained 24 episodes while Season 2 had 11. Season 3 is rumored to be a split cour release that may have up to 25 episodes. TMS Entertainment suggests that the two-part release may have 10-13 episode cours, which is usually the pattern for such releases, like That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 2, Tokyo Revengers Season 1, and Attack on Titan Final Season.
Even in the case of a split cour release, the possibility of a 2021 slate is not likely. Dr Stone manga will also be reaching its conclusion in the next couple of years. At this point, 2022-2023 seems like the possible period for the manga to end. That said, the anime is far from it. The Source of the Petrification Saga will be covered in Season 3 which will have the Age of Exploration and Treasure Island Arcs.
Dr Stone Season 3 release date has been announced to be 2023, officially announced via the release of a special teaser trailer at the Japan JumpFesta event. It is speculated that the earliest release of Dr Stone 3 may happen in the Winter 2023 anime calendar, probably in January 2023. Though fans have to wait at least a year, but the franchise has news to cheer them about.
A new Dr Stone OVA episode will premiere in Summer 2022 bridging the anime content of Season 3 in 2023. It is titled ‘TVSP Ryusui’ and as the name suggests it will introduce a new character Ryusui Nanami. Ryota Suzuki of Yu Ishigami in Kaguya-sama and Arai in Boruto fame will lend his voice to the key character Ryusui of Dr Stone 3.
Officially no date of release in Japan and globally has been shared but Dr Stone OVA simulcast will arrive on Crunchyroll.
