It's been over a year since Solo Leveling season 2 ended, and Crunchyroll president Rahul Purini has finally given fans an update on the highly anticipated season 3.
"Nothing to announce, but we are just as eager as the fans for the next show!" Purini told Radio Times. "We know the creators are actively working on it, so hopefully we can announce something soon."
Solo Leveling, the hit anime based on Chugong's South Korean web novel of the same name, debuted in 2024, with a second season quickly arriving in 2025. Shunsuke Nakashige directs, with Noboru Kimura serving as head writer, and character design by Tomoko Sudo. The second season, titled Solo Leveling: Arise from the Shadow, followed Jinwoo as he embraces his new role as the superpowered Shadow Monarch.
Thanks to season 2, Solo Leveling currently holds the title for Crunchyroll's most-streamed show of all time. The series also won big at the 2025 Anime Awards, taking home the awards for Anime of the Year, Best New Series, Best Action Anime, and Best Main Character (Sung Jinwoo).
A-1 Pictures, the studio behind Solo Leveling, is set to hold a panel at Anime Expo 2026, leading some fans to anticipate a season 3 first look or trailer reveal. Fans have also speculated that a compilation film of season 2 will be released beforehand, as the studio did the same with season 1.
