Dr. Stone's Co-Creator Addresses the Series' Future

By Evan Valentine

Dr. Stone might have brought its manga to an end earlier this year, but that doesn't mean that the story of Senku has completely wrapped as writer Riichiro Inagaki teases that there might be more stories in store for the Stone World. While Boichi, the artist for Dr. Stone, is currently taking a step back from the medium of manga, we're certainly crossing our fingers that the original team would make a comeback to weave new tales within this unique anime world.

Dr. Stone's anime is set to return for its third season next year in 2023, but the anime adaptation is set to release a special episode this summer that will dive into the swashbuckler Ryusui. While the television series hasn't confirmed how many seasons, or movies, might be created to continue the story of the Stone World, there are still some big moments that have yet to be animated that will definitely throw viewers for a loop. It certainly wouldn't be out of the question for the story of Dr. Stone to continue considering how the original manga ended, with Senku's tale leaving open quite a big thread when it came to what the mad scientist was working on.

Riichiro Inagaki posted to his Official Twitter Account, sharing a quote that stated that Dr. Stone "is a weekly serialization, but it's not over" leaving many fans to wonder if Senku might be making a comeback in a sequel or if there are more spin-off stories that will once again focus on the Stone World:

If you haven't had the opportunity to dive into the first two seasons of Dr. Stone, you can catch them on Crunchyroll, with the streaming service releasing an official description of the series:

"Several thousand years after a mysterious phenomenon that turns all of humanity to stone, the extraordinarily intelligent, science-driven boy, Senku Ishigami, awakens. Facing a world of stone and the total collapse of civilization, Senku makes up his mind to use science to rebuild the world. Starting with his super strong childhood friend Taiju Oki, who awakened at the same time, they will begin to rebuild civilization from nothing... Depicting two million years of scientific history from the Stone Age to present day, the unprecedented crafting adventure story is about to begin!"
