This article contains spoilers from the Solo Leveling series.
Solo Leveling fans are eagerly waiting for the continuation of their beloved series, especially after the grand conclusion of Solo Leveling Season 2 earlier this year. If Solo Leveling Season 1 opened up the series to fans, Season 2 ensured that it became a global sensation. Solo Leveling has taken over the world and rightly so. The series is chaotic and exciting, and fans absolutely can’t get enough of it.
Because of how big Solo Leveling is, it came as a shock to the fans when there was no announcement for a Solo Leveling Season 3. As the end of the year approaches, fans don’t even have a confirmation on whether Solo Leveling Season 3 will happen or not. This seemed rather bizarre to all the fans of the series, but now, new information has come to light and it’s become quite clear that Solo Leveling Season 3 might not happen at all. Instead, the plan is to do a Solo Leveling movie sequel, which, at the moment, is reportedly set for a 2026 release.

No Solo Leveling Season 3 In The Plans
- Fans would love Solo Leveling Season 3
- Movies can’t compare to anime
Solo Leveling fans are both shocked and delighted by the recent reports that reveal the plans that Aniplex and A-1 Pictures have for the franchise. Suddenly, the silence surrounding Solo Leveling Season 3 makes a lot of sense. While most fans expected Solo Leveling to continue with a new anime season at some point, the real plans have now seemingly appeared.

According to the production committee for Solo Leveling, the goal isn’t to produce a third season, but to do a big movie instead. It just be noted and emphasized that the movie hasn’t begun production yet, which means that it can’t have an official release date, but the window is set for late 2026, at least for the time being.
The goal with a Solo Leveling movie is simple, and it is to replicate the success that Demon Slayer found with its own blockbuster movies, Infinity Castle Part 1. Solo Leveling will probably not match Demon Slayer’s numbers, but it will most likely do incredibly well.

Solo Leveling Season 3 Might Not Happen At All
Demon Slayer Greatly Shifted The Strategy
Given the number of chapters left to adapt in Solo Leveling manhwa, a movie will most likely conclude the vast majority of the series. The next Solo Leveling movie will cover the vast majority of what remains, and that only means one thing: Solo Leveling Season 3 might not happen at all. It is highly likely that the upcoming Solo Leveling movie will be a big success, and in that case, there could be plans for a final Solo Leveling movie which would then wrap up the story for good, just like Demon Slayer is doing with Infinity Castle.
The moment Demon Slayer found monumental success with Infinity Castle Part 1, the anime world changed forever. More studios will now try to emulate that success with a big movie release, and A-1 Pictures is no different. Solo Leveling and many other series will follow suit and try to profit off of this strategy, and it will more than likely work, which means anime season adaptations could be threatened in the long run, which is a shame.
Solo Leveling has 25 episodes available to watch right now. The series can be streamed on Crunchyroll. Fans can get more Solo Leveling content via the Manhwa.
