Why Everyone’s Still Waiting on Solo Leveling Season 3

Fans of Solo Leveling are still buzzing after the explosive second season, which managed to exceed already sky-high expectations. But despite the overwhelming response, the lack of an official announcement for season 3 is starting to feel like a mystery. Viewers and industry insiders alike are scratching their heads, especially since the show has achieved milestones most anime only dream of.

With an incredible 4.9/5 rating and over 730,000 reviews on Crunchyroll, Solo Leveling has officially become the most-reviewed series on the platform, surpassing massive franchises like Attack on Titan, Demon Slayer, and even One Piece. It has also secured a whopping ten nominations at the upcoming Crunchyroll Anime Awards, including Anime of the Year, Best Action, and Best Main Character for Sung Jinwoo. It's hard to argue against a show that’s dominating both critical acclaim and audience love.

Despite this, those behind the anime have remained vague about the show's future. Comments from producer Atsushi Kaneko suggest that the second season might be the end “for now,” leaving the door open but far from confirmed. This is particularly puzzling given that the anime ended on a major cliffhanger and the original webtoon material continues far beyond what’s been animated so far.

The delay could hint at production timelines being longer this time around, potentially pushing season 3 further out than the year-long gap between the first two seasons. Still, with this level of fan enthusiasm and the strength of the source material, it feels less like a question of if and more like when. Whatever the timeline, fans are clearly ready for more—and it’s hard to believe the anime world won’t deliver.
