Dr. STONE: SCIENCE FUTURE Cour 3, the final cour of the final season, officially premieres April 2, 2026 in Japan.

TL;DR
The endgame date is locked. Dr. STONE’s final cour starts April 2, 2026, and it is the start of the series’ last stretch.

Key Details
• The Dr. STONE official site announced SCIENCE FUTURE Cour 3 begins airing April 2, 2026 at 22:00 JST.
• The announcement frames Cour 3 as the final chapter of the final season.
• The official post says streaming platforms will roll out the latest episode after broadcast.
• For U.S. Central time, 22:00 JST is about 8:00 a.m. CT on April 2.

Breakdown
Dr. STONE is doing the rare thing fans love: a clear finish line. Cour 3 being labeled the final cour removes the “will there be more” uncertainty and points straight at the conclusion.

The “after broadcast” streaming line is also important. It usually means Crunchyroll style simulcast timing, but it can vary by region and service, so viewers should expect the exact drop time to be platform specific.

Story wise, this is the final push. The series is framing the remaining episodes as true endgame material, with Senku’s biggest goal front and center.

What to Watch Next
• International streaming timing by platform and region
• Key visual and trailer drops that confirm the final arc tone
• Episode count confirmation for the final cour
• Dub plans and timing, if announced
