JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Part 7 Continues on Netflix in 2026; "Steel Ball Run" 2nd STAGE Teaser Released

It has been announced that 2nd STAGE of the latest installment in the hit anime series, Steel Ball Run: JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, will be available for exclusive worldwide advance streaming on Netflix in 2026. Along with the announcement, a new teaser promotional video has been unveiled.

Serving as the continuation of 1st STAGE, which began streaming this past March, the upcoming 2nd STAGE follows Johnny Joestar and Gyro Zeppeli as they attempt to cross approximately 750 miles of desert. Within those sands lies a territory feared as the "Devil's Palm." As ominous incidents begin to unfold, the duo is forced to realize that this race is far more than a simple sporting competition. The story will depict their struggle through a 2nd STAGE where various hidden agendas intersect.

As the seventh part of the series, the story is set in late 19th-century America and depicts the first-ever transcontinental horse race across North America. The protagonist, Johnny Joestar, is a former genius jockey who is now paraplegic. He forms a partnership with a mysterious outlaw, Gyro Zeppeli, to progress through the race together. Behind the fierce competition for the massive prize money, a terrifying conspiracy swirls, and the series follows the two as they fight to reach the finish line.

The original manga was serialized from January 2004 to April 2011, and the 1st STAGE of the anime adaptation has been streaming since March.
