Check the latest JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run Netflix release schedule, including Episode 4’s date, India release time, and weekly episode dates.
JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run has finally settled into a weekly release schedule on Netflix, giving fans a new episode every Friday after the long wait following the first episode in March. Episode 4 is scheduled to arrive on Friday, October 9, 2026, with the current 11-episode run expected to continue through December 4. Netflix has confirmed that the 2nd and 3rd stages will consist of 11 episodes released weekly. The anime initially launched with its 47-minute 1st stage on March 19. The story then returned on September 25 with the 2nd stage, beginning the weekly run that continues into the 3rd stage. Because Netflix has confirmed the weekly Friday format but has not separately published every individual episode date, the later dates in the schedule are based on that confirmed cadence.
