Solo Leveling Season 3 Expected in 2027-2028, According to Earnings Document
D&C Media's quarterly earnings document reportedly indicates Solo Leveling anime season 3 is expected between 2027-2028, suggesting a significant delay from the rapid release schedule of the first two seasons. The first season aired in January 2024 and season 2 in January 2025, establishing a yearly release pattern. The extended timeline reflects industry-wide production constraints, as animation studio A-1 Pictures is committed to multiple other projects during that period.
Solo Leveling's third season appears to be facing a substantial production delay, based on information spotted in D&C Media's latest quarterly earnings report. The document reportedly states the anime season 3 is "expected 2027-2028," which would represent a three-year gap from season 2's January 2025 release. This contrasts sharply with the series' initial momentum: season 1 debuted in January 2024 and season 2 followed exactly one year later, an unusually fast turnaround for anime production. A-1 Pictures, the studio animating Solo Leveling, has three other anime projects scheduled for 2026-2027, suggesting limited resources available for the third season. The information remains unconfirmed, though Anime Expo 2026 (July 2-5) may provide official clarification from the production team.
