Say Hello To Solo Leveling’s Replacement Anime For 2026

by

This article contains spoilers from Solo Leveling.

Solo Leveling is a truly captivating anime that’s quickly become a fan favorite, and its popularity is expected to continue growing with each new season. Currently, Solo Leveling has two seasons available, and the second season significantly increased its fanbase earlier this year. For the past two years, Solo Leveling has been a major force in the anime world, a fact highlighted by its win at the Crunchyroll Awards earlier this year, where it was named Anime of the Year. Solo Leveling also has a strong chance of winning Anime of the Year again next year, largely due to the second season being even more successful than the first.

I’ve been following Solo Leveling, and things generally seem positive, but it’s become clear that Solo Leveling Season 3 isn’t coming anytime soon. It’s been quite a while since Season 2 finished, and we still haven’t even gotten official confirmation about a third season – no release date, no trailer, nothing. Based on everything, it looks like Solo Leveling fans will likely be waiting until 2026 for Season 3. However, 2026 will have its fair share of great anime, and while we’ll have to wait for the next installment of Solo Leveling, there’s another series stepping up to fill the void – and some are saying it’s even bigger. This anime is Gege Akutami’s masterpiece modern Shonen, Jujutsu Kaisen.

Solo Leveling Won’t Be Released In 2026, But Jujutsu Kaisen Is Coming Back

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Will Be Out In January 2026

  • Culling Game Arc set to begin
  • Jujutsu Kaisen is more popular than Solo Leveling

Solo Leveling viewers may be saddened to learn that a third season of the anime probably won’t arrive in 2026. With no announcements made so far, it appears a return next year is unlikely. However, 2026 isn’t a total loss for anime fans! Another major anime, and one that’s equally anticipated, has been officially confirmed to return. Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 is scheduled for release in January 2026, and fans are incredibly excited.

It’s clear that Solo Leveling and Jujutsu Kaisen have a lot in common. Both shows are full of action and showcase incredibly strong protagonists. However, Jujutsu Kaisen also boasts a more compelling story and villains that feel even more threatening compared to those in Solo Leveling. Fans of Solo Leveling will likely really enjoy Jujutsu Kaisen, and with the anime not continuing next year, it’s a fantastic series for them to check out.

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 is set to start the Culling Game Arc shortly, signaling the approach of the series’ conclusion. The Culling Game is known for its intense action, with nearly every episode featuring significant battles, making it comparable to the style of Solo Leveling.

Solo Leveling Will Likely Return In 2027

No Season 3 Announcement Yet

Regarding Solo Leveling Season 3, fans still haven’t received an official release date. While Season 3 is confirmed, the timing remains uncertain. Considering the current progress, it seems unlikely that Solo Leveling Season 3 will be released next year. A more probable release timeframe would be 2027.

As the team explained before, creating Solo Leveling requires significant work, and maintaining its quality takes time. Giving them more time will result in a better final product. We anticipate that Solo Leveling Season 3 will be released in 2027 to guarantee a polished and high-quality result.

Jujutsu Kaisen is a hugely popular shonen manga right now. The original series recently concluded in late 2024 and is available to read online without charge. You can find it on Manga Plus, where new chapters were previously released each week. Currently, a sequel series, Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo, is being published in Weekly Shonen Jump Magazine. The third chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo is scheduled to come out on September 21, 2025, and, as usual, fans can enjoy it for free on Manga Plus.
