On March 30th, the broadcast of Solo Leveling - Arise from the Shadow, the second season of the anime adaptation of the eponymous manhwa, ended. It was a resounding success for Crunchyroll, which has not yet officially announced a third season for Solo Leveling. Fans are getting impatient, but an upcoming announcement could reward them.
When will season 3 of Solo Leveling be released?
After a record-breaking season 2 and a massive teaser in the last episode, Solo Leveling viewers are right to wonder when the third season will be announced. It's unthinkable that Crunchyroll and A-1 Pictures won't announce a third season in due form, as Sung Jinwoo's adventures are far from over. However, despite the success of season 2 and the impatience of fans, this is not the case.
Internet users are speculating, wondering about the reasons behind this delay. While producers and distributors tend to reassure fans by immediately announcing the renewal of a series or anime, Solo Leveling is taking its time. A torture for the most impatient that could be delivered soon, at Anime Expo.
A-1 Pictures, the studio behind the anime adaptation of Solo Leveling, has just announced that it will celebrate its 20th anniversary at Anime Expo in Los Angeles on July 4th. A-1 Pictures will even hold a panel with the creators of Solo Leveling, the perfect opportunity to make season 3 official.

It's undeniable that a season 3 will see the light of day, but we don't know when. Its likely broadcast is a long way off, as A-1 Pictures will have to create all the episodes from scratch, whereas the first two seasons were made back-to-back. The short delay between seasons 1 and 2 should therefore not be extended for this season 3, which will take longer to land on Crunchyroll.
The later season 3 is announced, the less fans should have to wait. Assuming A-1 Pictures is already working on the project, of course. All of this remains speculation, and it's possible that nothing will be announced during Anime Expo. The answer will be in just a few weeks, and we can't wait.
