Publisher Flags Solo Leveling Season 3 for 2027–2028
The publisher's estimate widens the gap after rapid early seasons, pointing to a longer production cycle with Anime Expo 2026 as the most likely moment for confirmation.
Overview
- D&C Media put an “expected” 2027–2028 release window for Solo Leveling Season 3 in its latest quarterly report, the most concrete timing published so far.
- The anime's production team has not issued an official season confirmation, so D&C Media's wording should be read as an internal expectation rather than a studio release date.
- Producer Atsushi Kaneko told fans at Mumbai Comic-Con 2026 that he is working hard on the series' future but could not share details, and Crunchyroll president Rahul Purini said creators are actively working on the next show but there is nothing to announce.
- Fans face a noticeably longer wait than the series' quick 2024–2025 rollout, a gap that industry observers link to normal studio scheduling, competing projects, or shifts to different continuation formats like films or OVAs.
- A-1 Pictures will have a panel at Anime Expo 2026, which is widely expected to be the next opportunity for a formal Season 3 announcement or first look from the studio.
