Crunchyroll’s Upcoming Hit Anime Is Coming For Solo Leveling’s Throne

by

This article contains spoilers from Solo Leveling and Jujutsu Kaisen.

As 2025 nears its end, the biggest anime releases of the year have already come out, including the final season of My Hero Academia (MHA). While 2025 brought many popular anime, Solo Leveling was a clear highlight. The second season of Solo Leveling, which premiered earlier in the year, broke numerous records globally.

With no new season of Solo Leveling expected in 2026, it’s likely to lose its position as the most popular anime on Crunchyroll. Jujutsu Kaisen, a hugely popular action series, is returning with its third season on January 8, 2026, and is poised to take its place. The new season of Jujutsu Kaisen promises stunning visuals and some of the most thrilling and action-packed fights fans have seen in a long time.

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Is Coming For Solo Leveling’s Throne In January 2026

JJK Season 3 Will Be 2026’s Biggest Anime

  • Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 releases on January 8, 2026
  • Solo Leveling Season 3 is reportedly not coming

In 2025, Solo Leveling quickly became a huge hit with anime fans. Its first season won Anime of the Year at the Crunchyroll Awards, along with several other accolades, including Best Main Character. The second season continued this success, breaking records on Crunchyroll and becoming the platform’s most reviewed series ever. Solo Leveling has rapidly gained immense popularity, now rivaling long-standing, well-known anime titles.

The second season of Solo Leveling ended in early 2025, and we haven’t heard anything about a third season since then. Recent reports suggest that a third season may not happen at all. It looks like the creators are planning a Solo Leveling movie instead, potentially releasing in 2026. While fans were hoping for a new anime season around that time, it now seems very improbable.

Although fans won’t be getting a new season of Solo Leveling next year, Jujutsu Kaisen is returning with Season 3, and many consider it the most popular anime series right now. Season 3 will premiere on January 8, 2026, and early trailers and previews of the ‘Culling Game Arc’ suggest it’s even more visually stunning and action-packed than Season 2. Considering Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 already won Anime of the Year, this new season is expected to be even better and definitively surpass Solo Leveling in popularity.

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Will Be The Biggest Yet

Crunchyroll Has Its Big 2026 Hit Already

As a fan of Jujutsu Kaisen, I’m really excited about what’s coming in Season 3. From what we’ve seen so far, it looks like it’s going to be the best season of the series yet!

I’ve been watching the trailers for Jujutsu Kaisen season 3, and I’m really impressed! It looks like they’re taking a fresh approach to the series with some truly beautiful animation and direction. The movement is incredibly smooth, and based on what I’ve seen, fans are going to love it.

Beyond its impressive art and animation, Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 will begin adapting a particularly exciting part of the manga: the Culling Game arc. This arc promises to be incredibly fast-paced and action-packed, keeping fans on the edge of their seats.

The third season of Jujutsu Kaisen will begin airing on January 8, 2026, and will be available to stream on Crunchyroll. In addition to the main series, a sequel called Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo is being published in Weekly Shonen Jump. The tenth chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo will be released on November 9, 2025, and can be read for free on Manga Plus.
