After two action-packed seasons, Solo Leveling has cemented itself as one of the most beloved manhwa adaptations. With the intense conclusion of Season 2, fans are already asking-what’s next for Sung Jinwoo? While official news remains close to nothing, here’s everything we know, and what we can expect about Solo Leveling Season 3.
Is Solo Leveling Season 3 Confirmed?
As of now, A-1 Pictures hasn’t officially announced a third season. However, given the show’s incredible popularity and the natural progression of the story, a continuation is more likely than not.
Looking at past releases, Season 1 debuted in January 2024, followed by Season 2 in January 2025, so it’s reasonable to speculate that Season 3 could arrive in early 2026. That said, delays are always a possibility, and that is what the case with the new season looks like.
Why Hasn’t Season 3 Been Announced Yet?
Despite the overwhelming success of Solo Leveling, crossing 700,000 reviews on Crunchyroll, there has not been confirmation of Season 3’s existence by anyone involved with the series. While it may seem like a no-brainer that it will be renewed, there has been no official announcement yet.
Previously, the animation producer of the series, Atsushi Kaneko, stated in a video feature that Season 2’s finale would be the end of the series “for now.” He also said that it “may or may not” continue from here. While this doesn’t rule out a continuation, it does suggest that A-1 Pictures may be taking its time before making any announcements. However, it is frustrating for fans who were hoping for an official renewal right after the Season 2 finale.
What’s Next in the Story?
A-1 Pictures has been steadily picking up the pace with adapting the Solo Leveling manhwa. Season 2 covered the story up to the Jeju Island arc, spanning 107 chapters in total. If Season 3 follows the same pacing, it will likely begin with the Recruitment Arc and continue through several major storylines, including:
- Recruitment Arc – Jinwoo starts assembling his guild.
- Ahjin Guild Arc – The birth of Jinwoo’s own powerhouse organization.
- Double Dungeon Arc – A return to the place where his journey began.
- Japan Crisis Arc – A major international battle that takes the crisis to another level.
- International Guild Conference Arc – Where global tensions start to rise.
Based on this trajectory, Season 3 could cover up to Chapter 199, potentially setting the stage for the Monarch War Arc, where Sung Jinwoo will face even greater challenges as one of the most powerful S-Rank hunters.
Conclusion
Even without official confirmation, Solo Leveling Season 3 feels inevitable. The anime’s gripping story, stunning animation, and devoted fanbase make it a strong and obvious contender for renewal. While we wait for more news, you can rewatch Solo Leveling season 1 and 2, and not just that, the manhwa is also right there, waiting to be picked up.
