Steel Ball Run, the all new series, is the long-awaited adaptation of Part 7 of Hirohiko Araki's beloved manga series.

Fans are delighted to delve back into the adventure, which follows Johnny Joestar, a former jockey who lost the use of his legs in a freak accident, as he heads on a cross-continental horse race in the hopes of winning a monumental grand prize.

But, with just one episode being released, fans are wondering when we might get to see more. Here's what we know so far.

When could Steel Ball Run: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure episode 2 be released?

Netflix has not yet confirmed the release schedule for Steel Ball Run: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, so we can only speculate at this stage.

It's possible that the release will be weekly - and this is certainly what fans are hoping for. However, considering the lack of information so far, it seems unlikely that we'll be getting another episode that quickly.

Considering the first episode was described as the '1st stage', it seems more likely that further episodes will be grouped into stages and come further down the line. However, it could be months before we see any more.

So, currently episode 2's release date is up in the air - but we'll update this page when we have more information.

How many episodes will there be in Steel Ball Run: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure?

Again, it's a bit up in the air, as Netflix hasn't confirmed how many episodes there will be.

Previous seasons of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure have ranged between 26and 48 episodes - however, the last three seasons all consisted of either 38 or 39 episodes, so that seems a likely estimate for now until we have more solid information.

Who is in the cast for Steel Ball Run: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure?

The cast for Steel Ball Run: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is:

  • Daman Mills as Johnny Joestar
  • Kaiji Tang as Gyro Zeppeli
  • Damien Haas as Diego Brando
  • Frankie Kevich as Lucy Steel
  • Jamieson Price as Steven Steel

What is the plot of Steel Ball Run: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure?

Netflix's synopsis for the show reads: "It’s 1890, in America, the Steel Ball Run — the first horse racing championship across the North American continent — was about to begin. Spanning around 4,000 miles, the race offered 50 million dollars as the winning prize. Johnny Joestar, once being hailed as a genius jockey, is now paralysed and lost in despair.

"He finds hope in the mysterious phenomena caused by Gyro Zeppeli, an outlaw aiming to win the race, and determines to participate in the Steel Ball Run Race. Each having their own goal in mind, the two form an alliance and set foot upon the gruelling adventure and race."

Steel Ball Run: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure episode 1 is available to stream on Netflix now.
