by


Get ready, JoJo fans! There’s exciting news about the upcoming animated adaptation of *JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run*. Following a preview at Anime Expo, David Production has officially announced the series’ release date on Netflix, unveiled a new trailer, and shared the voice cast for Johnny and Gyro’s adventures.

Fans can expect the anime adaptation of *Steel Ball Run* to hit Netflix in 2026, though an exact release date hasn’t been announced. Johnny Joestar and Gyro Zeppeli will join Jolyne Cujoh as part of an exclusive anime series on the streaming platform. The show has already revealed some of its voice actors: Shogo Sakata will voice Johnny Joestar, Yohei Azakami will play Gyro Zeppeli, Kaito Ishikawa is Diego Brando, Rie Takahashi will be Lucy Steel, and Kenta Miyake will voice Steven Steel. With a large cast, more voice actor announcements are expected soon.

The Steel Ball Run Will Need to Dodge Disaster

Many fans consider *Steel Ball Run* a highlight of the *JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure* series, but some are worried it will be a Netflix exclusive. Previous *JoJo* anime, *Stone Ocean*, had an unusual release schedule on Netflix – instead of releasing episodes weekly, it was split into three batches. Thankfully, Netflix has since moved towards releasing many of its anime, like *Sakamoto Days*, on a weekly basis, which gives fans hope for *Steel Ball Run*.

Many fans consider *Steel Ball Run* to be one of the best stories in *JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure* for a few key reasons. The story follows Johnny Joestar, who is paralyzed and hopes to regain his ability to walk by competing in a cross-country horse race. What makes it unique is its setting in a completely new universe, and the exciting battles are fought on horseback, offering a fresh take on the series’ signature fighting style.

If you’re eager to experience the world of *Steel Ball Run* and don’t want to wait for an anime adaptation, the manga is already complete! Creator Hirohiko Araki has continued to build the *JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure* universe since the end of Johnny and Gyro’s journey. He finished the *JoJolion* story and is now creating *JOJOLands*. While it may take a while before these parts get animated, the franchise is so popular that it’s likely they will be eventually.
