After its stunning debut and phenomenal second season, the Solo Leveling anime has cemented its position as the best manhwa adaptation to date. Consequently, the anime’s fan following has seen a meteoric rise in a short time. Now, the fandom’s eyes are set on the next season after watching Solo Leveling Season 2’s memorable ending. If you are eager to learn about the third season, here is what we know so far about Solo Leveling Season 3 by A-1 Pictures.
When Will Solo Leveling Season 3 Release?
At the time of writing, Solo Leveling Season 3 has yet to be officially announced by A-1 Pictures. So, we will have to wait a while before we learn any concrete details.
The growing popularity of Solo Leveling should automatically lead to the renewal of the anime for a third season. Recently, the anime’s producer commented, “Solo Leveling will come to an end, for now.“ Earlier, rumors surfaced online that Solo Leveling season 3 has already been greenlit at A-1 Pictures. The only question that remains is when Solo Leveling Season 3 will be released.
Although the production staff hasn’t revealed the release date of Solo Leveling Season 3 yet, we can try to predict it based on the history of Solo Leveling anime’s release schedule. Both seasons 1 and 2 of the anime premiered in January 2024 and 2025, respectively.
So we expect Solo Leveling Season 3 to release in January 2026. But take this information with a grain of salt, as the release could be delayed if the studio is busy with other projects.
Solo Leveling – Arise from the Shadow, aka Season 2, was sort of made as cour 2 of Season 1, which is the primary reason why the anime returned sooner than expected. As they are starting to work on season 3 from scratch, the third season’s release could be pushed further, possibly even Fall 2026 or even Winter 2027. We have to wait for some more to find out the release window.
What to Expect from Solo Leveling Season 3?
A-1 Pictures has already increased the pace at which they are adapting the Solo Leveling manhwa. They’ve successfully covered the story up to the Jeju Island arc in Season 2. So far, 107 chapters have been covered, and Season 3 will start with the Recruitment arc.
The third season will raise the stakes higher than ever before with the introduction of new villains and supporting stars for the final saga, some of whom have already been teased in Season 2.
The third season is likely to cover the following Solo Leveling arcs:
- Recruitment arc
- Ahjin Guild arc
- Double Dungeon arc
- Japan Crisis arc
- International Guild Conference arc
After covering up to chapter 199, season 3’s ending could tease the beginning of the Monarchs War arc. Sung Jinwoo has become one of the strongest S-Rank hunters in Solo Leveling, but how strong will he be against the Monarchs of the Solo Leveling universe?
We will have to wait for more information about the upcoming third season of Solo Leveling. In the meantime, let us know your expectations for Season 3 adapt in the comments below.
