The anime premiered in Japan on April 6, and will run for two cours (quarters of a year), but split into different broadcast seasons. Crunchyroll is streaming the anime as it airs in Japan, and is also streaming an English dub. The anime will air on Adult Swim's Toonami programming block starting on June 3.

With the Stone Wars over, the former members of Tsukasa's Empire of Might join forces with the Kingdom of Science to build a ship capable of sailing across open ocean to seek answers on the mystery of the global petrification. However, before they can begin their voyage Senku and his friends need to find some key resources and push some new scientific advancements to build the type of vessel they need.

The first television anime debuted in July 2019. Crunchyroll streamed the first season as it aired, and Funimation streamed a dub of the season. The anime premiered on Toonami in August 2019.

The one-hour Dr. Stone: Ryusui anime special aired in July 2022.

Boichi (Sun-Ken Rock) and Riichirou Inagaki (author of Eyeshield 21) launched the 26-volume manga in Weekly Shonen Jump in March 2017, and ended the series in March 2022. Viz Media is publishing the manga digitally and in print. MANGA Plus also published the manga digitally in English.
