Re: and Re:Re: are the two Bocchi the Rock! compilation films, while Hoshi no Ashiato is a new prequel centered on the Ijichi sisters. They are not three consecutive parts of a TV second season.

The films’ official site identifies Re: as the first part and Re:Re: as the second. For viewers who have seen season one and chiefly want new story, they reorganize familiar material; those who prefer a theatrical revisit can choose both parts. This does not claim every frame is identical to TV.

Hoshi no Ashiato was announced for 2027 in Japan and takes place before the band formed. It is a separate project from the announced second TV season.

Season one is one starting point; the compilations offer another format for revisiting it. Check each version and language in current Brazilian catalogs.
