Dr Stone season 4 release schedule: When are new episodes out?
Here's everything we know about season 4 of the Dr Stone anime, titled Dr Stone: Science Future!
Now on its fourth and final season, Dr Stone is back with a vengeance.
Taking place in the distant future, this sci-fi anime series began with a bizarrely original kind of apocalypse, freezing the entire human population in stasis in 2019.
Thousands of years later, teen genius Senku Ishigami wakes up and decides to rebuild human civilisation in an ambitious new direction.
The first three seasons saw Senku and his allies embark on some truly epic storylines in their quest to reshape the world, introducing an expansive supporting cast who often split into warring factions.
Season 3 concluded with Senku developing the technology to launch a space programme, and then traveling to North America for the first time. Titled Dr Stone: Science Future, the fourth season will conclude his adventures.
One of the big headlines for this season is the arrival of Dr Xeno Houston Wingfield, a major villain from the original Dr Stone manga series.
He's the leader of a group that Senku encounters in North America, and like Senku he prides himself in being a technological and scientific genius, providing a worthy adversary for the story's final act.
