After the explosive finale of Solo Leveling Season 2, fans are eagerly awaiting news about Season 3. Despite the anime’s massive popularity, A-1 Pictures has yet to announce a release date, suggesting a longer wait this time.
While Season 2 arrived quickly after Season 1, the gap before Season 3 may be longer. Originally, Solo Leveling was planned as a 25-episode series but was split into two seasons, both produced simultaneously. Since a third season would require fresh production efforts, it could take more time to materialize.
A-1 Pictures, the studio behind the anime, is currently occupied with other projects like Fate/Strange Fake and Aldnoah.Zero (Re+), which could further impact Season 3’s timeline. While A-1 Pictures is expected to continue the adaptation, there’s always a possibility another studio could take over, as has happened with other anime series.
Season 3 will continue Jinwoo’s journey, picking up after the Red Gate incident and diving into the Ahjin Guild Arc. Fans can look forward to intense battles, new allies, and deeper mysteries surrounding the gates—along with long-awaited answers about Jinwoo’s father. If the anime follows the manhwa’s pacing, the next season could adapt up to the International Guild Conference Arc.
Given Solo Leveling’s success, more seasons—or even a final movie—seem highly likely. Until an official announcement arrives, fans can stay tuned for further updates from the creators.
