According to the official announcement, the second part, called "2nd Stage," will premiere in the fall of 2026. However, episodes will be released weekly on the platform. This model was already part of the initial plan and follows the decision of the production committee responsible for the series.

Steel Ball Run JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is based on the manga by Hirohiko Araki. Thus, the work mixes action and adventure in a race across the United States, featuring memorable characters and unique abilities, while maintaining the franchise's characteristic style.
Netflix reiterated that production continues at a steady pace. Finally, the team thanked the audience for their support and emphasized that they are continuing to work to deliver the second season according to the announced schedule.
