JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean has debuted its first trailer, as well as an official global release date of December 2021 on Netflix. Set in a world where a small number of individuals can wield powerful beings with a wide array of abilities known as Stands, Stone Ocean follows Jolyne Cujoh after she is sentenced to 15 years in a Florida prison after being involved in a car accident.

The daughter of Stardust Crusaders protagonist Jotaro Kujo, it's not long before she becomes mixed up in the final battle between the Joestar family and the legacy of their greatest nemesis, Dio Brando.

Just like her father, Jolyne also awakens her own Stand, Stone Free, and gains the ability to unravel her body into string and other close-range physical abilities similar to her father's Stand Star Platinum.

Animation studio David Production confirmed that Daisuke Ono will once again reprise his role as Jotaro, while the rest of the cast includes Ai Fairouz as Jolyne, Mutsumi Tamura as Ermes Costello, and Mariya Ise as Foo Fighters. Not to be confused by the long-running rock band fronted by that one guy who looks like the drummer from Nirvana.
