On the official website for the anime adaptation of the manga Dr. STONE, the main promotional video for Dr. STONE SCIENCE FUTURE, the fourth and final season of the project, was revealed. The video confirms that the first part, out of a total of three, will premiere on January 9, 2025, in Japan. It also features a preview of the musical themes, which include:

Dr. STONE Synopsis
After harboring unspoken feelings for five years, high school student Taiju Ooki is finally ready to confess his love to Yuzuriha Ogawa. However, just as Taiju begins his confession, a blinding green light strikes Earth, petrifying humanity across the globe and turning every human into stone.
Several millennia later, Taiju awakens to find the modern world completely gone, as nature has flourished during humanity’s long slumber.
Among a world of stone statues, Taiju encounters another living human: his science-loving friend Senkuu, who has been active for a few months. Taiju learns that Senkuu has devised an ambitious plan—to fully revive civilization using science. Taiju’s strength and Senkuu’s intellect form a powerful partnership, and they soon discover a method to revive the petrified.
However, Senkuu’s grand plan is threatened when their ideologies clash with those who are awakened. Meanwhile, the cause of humanity’s petrification remains unknown.
