However, the producers have recently revealed the difficulties that come with producing a single episode of Solo Leveling.

Why Solo Leveling Deserves a Season 3?
Sung Jin-Woo’s Story Is Far from Over
The second season ofSolo Levelingleft many fans on the edge of their seats. As Jin-Woo emerges asKorea’s 10th S-rank hunterand the only one capable of clearing the Jeju Island dungeon break alone, anime-only fans have many questions that only a Season 3 adaptation could answer.
While these fans could turn to theSolo Levelingmanhwa or the novel to find answers, the best way to possibly enjoy the series is to watch it unfold in Season 3. Questions about Jin-Woo’s powers,the creator of the system, and the looming threat of the Monarchs will most certainly be explained next season.
Jin-Woo’s story is far from over, as there are many more untapped story arcs in the manhwa, including the Recruitment Arc, Ahjin Guild Arc, and the long-awaited Double Dungeon Arc.

When Will Solo Leveling Season 3 Be Released?
Predictions Explored
In most anime, it usually takes one or two years before a new season arrives. The announcement usually happens shortly after the final episode of the current season, especially if the series has immense popularity. There are also cases where new season announcements happen a week or a month after the anime finishes airing.
“Don’t ask me anything, and don’t expect anything from me."—Sung Jin-Woo
However, inSolo Leveling’s situation, based on the interviews andstatements released by the producers, voice actors, and the people involved in the anime adaptation, it may take two or three years before season 3 is released. Despite the heavy and passionate support coming from the fans,Solo Levelingis still an anime series that requires a significant amount of time and hard work to produce.
With all this in mind, fans may want to look forward to a potential announcement later this year or early next year,hopefully confirmingSolo LevelingSeason 3. If so, then a possible release date may happen sometime in 2027 or 2028. For now, fans will have to wait for more updates in the coming months.
