Solo Leveling Season 3 update: Everything we know so far about Sung Jin-woo’s return

Fans of the hit anime Solo Leveling may not have to wait much longer for updates on Season 3. While an official release date has not been announced, recent comments from the creators suggest that the next chapter of Sung Jin-woo’s journey is actively being developed.

Since its debut in January 2024, Solo Leveling has become one of the biggest anime success stories in recent years. The first season featured 12 episodes, while Season 2 delivered 13 episodes before concluding in March 2025. The anime’s explosive popularity worldwide has fueled growing anticipation for a third season.

Is Solo Leveling Season 3 confirmed?

According to reports, Rahul Purini, CEO of Crunchyroll, has confirmed that the Solo Leveling Season 3 is currently in development. Purini revealed that the creators are actively working on the next installment and that more details could be shared in the near future.


According to Collider, a major update could arrive during the upcoming Anime Expo 2026, scheduled from July 2 to July 5 in Los Angeles.

A-1 Pictures is expected to host a special panel on July 3, leading to speculation that the studio could unveil new information, teaser footage, or even a production update for Season 3.

What makes Solo Leveling unique?
Unlike many popular anime series adapted from Japanese manga, Solo Leveling began as a Korean web novel written by Chugong in 2016. It later became a hugely successful webtoon in 2018 before receiving an anime adaptation in 2024.

The franchise now includes novels, webtoons, spin-offs, video games, and an upcoming live-action adaptation, making it one of the most successful Korean entertainment properties worldwide.

The anime has shattered streaming records and built a massive global fanbase. Its combination of action-packed battles, stunning animation, and Sung Jin-woo's transformation from the weakest hunter to one of the most powerful characters in anime has helped the series rival some of the industry's biggest titles.

The series also earned significant recognition at the 2026 Crunchyroll Anime Awards, further cementing its status as a global phenomenon.

For now, fans can stream Seasons 1 and 2 on Crunchyroll while waiting for the next official announcement. With Anime Expo 2026 just around the corner, the coming weeks could finally provide the long-awaited update on Sung Jin-woo's return.
