The Dr. Stone anime franchise is set to expand further following the conclusion of its main series. During the Stone Fes. 2026 event held this Saturday, producers confirmed that a new project, Dr. Stone: Terraforming, has been green-lit. This upcoming installment will adapt the epilogue-style story arc featured in the 27th volume of the original manga, which takes place after the events of the core narrative.
This announcement arrives shortly after the conclusion of the franchise's fourth season, Dr. Stone: Science Future, which wrapped up its second cour in September 2025. The series has maintained a consistent presence on streaming platforms like Crunchyroll since its 2019 debut, with the original manga by Riichirou Inagaki and Boichi having completed its run in Weekly Shonen Jump in March 2022.
While the announcement confirms the adaptation of the Terraforming arc, details regarding the production studio, returning staff, or a specific release window remain unconfirmed. Given the series' history of multi-cour seasons and specials, viewers are left to wonder if this new entry will take the form of a feature-length special or a standalone limited series.
