Additionally, the teaser released on the same day is the same brief clip that was first shown in April, confirming continuity in the promotional material.
When to expect more information
There is no firm release date yet. However, Netflix has scheduled a global livestream for Sept. 23 that will reveal further details, so fans can expect official updates then.
Studio and creative team
David Production, the studio behind previous JoJo seasons, is returning for STEEL BALL RUN. In addition, Yasuhiro Kimura and Hideya Takahashi—both associated with Part 5: Golden Wind—are listed as directors for this adaptation.
What that means
David Production’s return indicates continuity in animation production. Likewise, having Kimura and Takahashi on board links this new adaptation to staff who have worked on recent JoJo entries.
Story and setting details
STEEL BALL RUN adapts Part 7 of Hirohiko Araki’s JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure manga. It is set in the United States in 1890 and follows participants in a cross-country horse race competing for a $50 million prize.
Moreover, the story uses a different timeline from earlier anime seasons. After the events of Part 6, Stone Ocean, the timeline was altered in the manga; STEEL BALL RUN takes place in this alternate/new timeline. The series also introduces a new power system called the Spin, alongside the franchise’s familiar Stand abilities.
Key takeaways
In short: Netflix will stream STEEL BALL RUN exclusively, David Production is handling the adaptation, the series is set to air at an unspecified date labeled “coming soon,” and more information will arrive during the Sept. 23 livestream.
