Jojo Steel Ball Run Episode 2 Delayed By Netflix

Fans have been eagerly waiting for David Studio to animate Part 7 of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. After Stone Ocean finished in 2022, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run finally premiered in March 2026. The first episode was well-received, but the release of the second episode has been delayed. Currently, the schedule for the rest of Part 7 is unknown, meaning fans won’t be getting a new episode this week.

Netflix’s Weekly Release Schedule Confirms Jojo Part 7 Delay

Starting with Part 6, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure has been available on Netflix outside of Japan, so fans expect updates about the show to come from them. The first episode of JoJo Part 7 arrived on Netflix on March 19, 2026, leading many to believe the second episode would follow the next week, as is typical for anime releases. However, Netflix recently announced its upcoming anime schedule on X (formerly Twitter), and surprisingly, there’s no new JoJo episode listed for this week, even though it was expected alongside Jujutsu Kaisen. Fans are understandably concerned about this delay, and Netflix hasn’t yet offered any explanation.

Why Jojo Part 7 Will Drop In Batches

Fans of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure are currently puzzled by Netflix’s release strategy for the anime. The main issue is whether Netflix will release new episodes one at a time each week, or all at once.

Netflix is handling the release of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run in an unusual way. Instead of releasing episodes all at once, they’re releasing them in batches, and they’ve framed the first episode as the start of a nine-stage horse race. This suggests that each batch of episodes will likely correspond to a different stage of the race, with the entire season split into nine releases.

David Production’s Panel At Anime Japan 2026 Will Deliver An Update

At Anime Japan 2026, taking place March 28th and 29th, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure will have its own dedicated stage. The JoJo stage is currently scheduled for March 28th at 5:50 PM Japan time on the Red Stage. With the series gaining momentum, Anime Japan is expected to share news about the release of Part 7, potentially including a firm release date for JoJo’s Steel Ball Run. Fans can expect other significant announcements about the series, so be sure to watch the event to stay updated.

The Projected Release Window For Steel Ball Run’s Return

It’s unknown if the next part of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure (Part 7) will be released all at once or in smaller portions, and we don’t know how long fans will have to wait for the second episode of Steel Ball Run. While fans would ideally like to receive new episodes weekly, that doesn’t seem likely to happen.

The first episode of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run was amazing, which makes the delay of the next episode particularly disappointing. Fans are anxious to find out when it will be released, but currently, there’s no news about a release date. It’s unlikely the series will be cancelled, and many expect the next episode to arrive by the end of March or early April. Hopefully, we won’t have to wait too long to continue following Johnny Joestar and Gyro’s journey through the dangerous American racetrack. Fans worldwide are eagerly anticipating their return.
