Today’s a great day to be a Solo Leveling fan. After a year of silence, an official release window for Solo Leveling Season 3 was finally revealed.
D&C Media, the South Korean publisher behind the Solo Leveling franchise, as well as other popular genre novels, web novels, and webtoons, released its financial report for the 2024-2025 period (PDF). Per the official report, D&C Media expects Solo Leveling Season 3 to launch between 2027 and 2028.
The projected 2027 release window is the first official confirmation from its copyright holders that Solo Leveling Season 3 is on its way. If Season 3 does release sometime in 2027, the waiting period between it and Season 2 would be about two years. A 2028 release for Solo Leveling Season 3 would push it up to three.
Currently, Crunchyroll has yet to confirm a Season 3 release window for Solo Leveling, nor has it officially confirmed Season 3 is in production. However, Crunchyroll President Rahul Pirini did provide an optimistic update in early June.
While Pirini refused to confirm Solo Leveling Season 3, he did say Crunchyroll is “just as eager as the fans for the next show!” He then said, “We know the creators are actively working on it, so hopefully we can announce something soon.”
Crunchyroll President Rahul Pirini is far from the only one who’s been strangely silent about the production of Solo Leveling Season 3. In January 2025, Atsushi Kaneko and Yoshihiro Kanno, the respective animation producer and action director for the Solo Leveling anime TV series, shockingly had little to say when asked about the status of Season 3. “My position doesn’t allow me to confirm Season 3 in front of the media,” Kaneko told the Crunchyroll podcasters during their interview at CCXP Mexico ’25.
Aleks Le, the English voice actor of Sung Jinwoo, has tried to keep fan expectations in line regarding the release of Solo Leveling Season 3, while admittedly having a little fun with them. In April 2025, Le sincerely answered fan speculation by saying Solo Leveling Season 3 “won’t be coming out for a while.”
This is in reference to the sharp turnaround from Solo Leveling Season 1, released on Jan. 7, 2024, and Season 2, which premiered on Jan. 5, 2025. Not to mention Solo Leveling: ReAwakening, the Season 1 compilation movie that launched globally in December 2024.
At the same time, many on the official Solo Leveling anime staff have tried to assure fans that the A-1 Pictures adaptation will continue without saying the obvious. Solo Leveling anime series producer Atsushi Kaneko has provided plenty of “winks” that something big will soon be revealed, teasing an official Season 3 announcement.
