Solo Leveling Season 3 Gets New Update From Crunchyroll CEO

by

The second season of the anime Solo Leveling finished streaming on Crunchyroll on March 29, 2025. It’s been over a year since then, and fans are still waiting for news about Season 3. Considering how popular the show is, many expected an announcement about a continuation, but so far, nothing has been confirmed.

Fans have been eagerly awaiting news about Solo Leveling Season 3, and today, May 22, 2026, Crunchyroll CEO Rahul Purini provided a new update. This follows a recent announcement from Producer Atsushi Kaneko at Mumbai Comic Con, who confirmed that a new Solo Leveling project is underway, leaving fans excited for what’s to come.

Crunchyroll CEO Rahul Purini Confirms The Next Solo Leveling Project Is In The Works

Originally a web novel by Chugong, launched on July 25, 2016, Solo Leveling quickly became popular and was adapted into a Manhwa by Redice Studio in March 2018. However, it wasn’t until the anime adaptation by A-1 Pictures and Aniplex in January 2024 that the series achieved global fame. The first season of the anime was a hit, and the second season, which premiered on Crunchyroll on January 4, 2025, was even more successful. The series has been a major triumph, particularly for Crunchyroll.

Given the massive popularity of Solo Leveling on Crunchyroll, fans have been eagerly awaiting news about future projects. On May 22, 2026, Crunchyroll CEO Rahul Purini addressed this in an interview with RadioTimes. While he couldn’t confirm a specific show yet, he stated that development is underway. This means A-1 Pictures and Aniplex are currently working on something related to the series, and an announcement could potentially arrive later in 2026.

We’re excited for the next season just as much as our fans are! The team behind the show is currently working on it, and we hope to share some news soon. — Rahul Purini, Crunchyroll CEO

Solo Leveling Producer Atsushi Kaneko Also Hinted At Something Big To Come In Early May 2026

Fans of Solo Leveling received some exciting news in May. Not only did Rahul Purini share a major update, but producer Atsushi Kaneko also spoke at Mumbai Comic Con (held May 9-10, 2026) about what’s next for the series. Kaneko assured fans that while the studio needs more time, they’re working on something big and plan to share details soon, suggesting a major reveal is coming in 2026.

The next announcement about the Solo Leveling project could be a simple statement, or it might include a sneak peek like a teaser or a key visual. For now, fans will need to wait while A-1 Pictures and Aniplex prepare to share what they’ve been creating.

Atsushi Kaneko mentioned at Comic Con Mumbai in May 2026 that they’re currently developing something new and will share details soon.

Solo Leveling Could Get A New Movie In 2027

Although no official announcement has been made, a new project for Solo Leveling is likely in development. Recent leaks, particularly a 2025 committee report, suggest A-1 Pictures is planning a movie, possibly inspired by the box office success of Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle. This makes a movie the most probable next step for the series.

Rahul Purini recently made a comment that suggests the next project might be Season 3 of Solo Leveling. He called it a “show,” which usually means it won’t be a movie. While both a new season and a movie are still possibilities, we’ll have to wait and see what the studio decides for Jinwoo’s story.
