Beyond that, there's also a glimpse at the confirmed release schedule and expected bumper episode count for the Science Future's final farewell in 2025.

Both subbed and dubbed episodes of Dr. Stone season 4 will be released on Thursdays on Crunchyroll until the end of March. 11 episodes have aired so far, with the season premiering on January 9.

The entire final season will be split into three parts, but the exact release dates for each cour haven't yet been announced.

Reportedly, the first part will last for 12 episodes as part of the 2025 winter anime season between January and March.

Its lack of presence on Crunchyroll's spring seasonal lineup (compared to other ongoing series such as The Apothecary Diaries) suggests it's going on a short break until the summer or fall seasons. We'll update this page once we know more.

The fourth and final season of Dr. Stone is, unsurprisingly, only available on Crunchyroll for the time being. We don't expect it to make the jump to any other platforms, such as Netflix or Hulu/Disney Plus.

How many episodes of Dr. Stone season 4 are there?

Dr. Stone season 4 is likely going to consist of 30 episodes, but don't expect them all to stream in consecutive weeks. It has previously been announced that the final season will be formed of three separate 'cours' (or parts) across 2025.

If that's the case, it wouldn't be a surprise to see the final season split into three batches of between eight and 12 episodes.
