Since the shocking conclusion of Solo Leveling season 2 in March, fans have excited for more.
Here is what we currently know regarding the possible release of season three of Solo Leveling.
Will There Be Solo Leveling Season 3?
The third season of Solo Leveling has not yet been confirmed. Despite the popularity of the show, there have been no official announcements regarding whether it will be renewed for a third season, save from the producers discussing the possibility. The last episode of season two aired on March 30, 2025.
Producers Sota Furuhashi and Atsushi Kaneko were questioned about whether season 3 will be able to “level up” (like Jin-woo himself!) during a Reddit Q&A on the show’s official account.
They invoked the advice of the late, great Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama, saying: “Do you know Dragon Ball’s Genki-dama (Spirit Bomb)? We need your energy!
“If we’re going to make a season 3, it’s going to take all the support and energy from the fans. I learned that from Akira Toriyama himself! May the great Akira Toriyama Rest in Peace.”
It appears that in order to guarantee the creation of a third season, fans will need to raise their voices.
Previously, Atsushi Kaneko said: “I hope the next time you watch the anime, you’ll imagine all the creators and staff who worked on it behind the scenes. With episode 25… the anime series Solo Leveling will come to an end, for now.”
He continued: “Will this end be temporary or not? I honestly don’t know what the future will bring. With the encouragement and support of everyone watching, [the anime] may continue or it may not continue. Personally, I really hope it does.”
Given how much they adore the show, it is obvious that the producers are hoping for a third season.
In the recent Reddit AMA, Sota Furuhashi and Atsushi Kaneko said: “As animation producers, we don’t know if we’ll ever encounter another project with the same scale and impact as Solo Leveling. It’s a rare kind of series. This has been a truly special experience in our careers.”
When Can We Expect Solo Leveling Season 3 To Be Released?
Considering that the first and second seasons of Solo Leveling were only separated by roughly a year, fans may be anticipating that season three will premiere in early 2026.
However, a late 2026 or early 2027 release window now appears more feasible, at the very least, as there is no proof that Solo Leveling season 3 is genuinely under production.
Kaneko recently offered an insight into how long the animation process is, saying during the Reddit AMA: “Each episode takes about 10 months to complete, with some of the longer ones taking up to 12 months. As for localisation, we work hard to achieve a near-simultaneous global launch.
“Subtitling happens almost around the clock to meet the delivery, and the dubbing process typically takes 2 to 3 weeks per episode.”
Nakashige Shunsuke’s availability is also a mystery; the director is allegedly working on other projects, which could lead to more delays.
Naturally, though, we’ll have to wait and see whether Solo Leveling decides to hire a different director for season 3.
