Fans eagerly awaiting the continuation of the hit anime Solo Leveling face uncertainty as series producer Atsushi Kaneko recently provided a sobering update. In a behind-the-scenes featurette from Crunchyroll, Kaneko revealed that the currently concluded second season marks the end of the anime “for now.”
Solo Leveling Season 3: Update
Speaking from A-1 Pictures in Tokyo, Kaneko highlighted the immense effort of the production team behind the acclaimed action sequences. While expressing his personal hope for the series’ return, he stated, “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. Personally, I really hope it does.” His words leave the possibility of a third season hanging in the balance, dependent on fan support.
Despite the lack of official confirmation, online speculation suggests a potential premiere for Solo Leveling Season 3 in January 2026. However, these remain unverified reports.
Solo Leveling’s unique position as a South Korean manhwa adapted into a popular Japanese anime has contributed to its global success. The second season garnered significant praise, with critics lauding its amplified action and storytelling.
Adding to the franchise’s growing influence, a live-action K-drama adaptation is currently in production in South Korea, though release details are scarce. For now, fans are left with the existing two seasons and the hope that the overwhelming support for Solo Leveling will pave the way for its return to the anime screen. The future of Sung Jinwoo’s journey remains, for the moment, an open question.
