Crunchyroll appears to be on the verge of confirming a much-anticipated third season of “Solo Leveling,” a popular anime series adapted from the South Korean web novel by Chugong. During an interview at the Cannes Film Festival, Mitchel Berger, Head of Theatrical & Distribution for Crunchyroll, expressed optimism for the series’ future, stating that while no official announcement has been made, fans can expect more content.
Berger noted, “We just concluded Season 2, which did really well for us, so I’m sure there will be more content in the future,” reinforcing the notion that the story of protagonist Sung Jinwoo will continue. However, he was unable to provide a timeline for when Season 3 might debut, stating, “We’re not sure exactly when, but it will be here, and fans will continue to see the story.”
The conclusion of Season 2 in March 2023 has left fans eagerly awaiting news about the next installment. “Solo Leveling” has garnered tremendous acclaim and viewership, becoming one of Crunchyroll’s most-rated anime series, with a near-perfect rating of 4.9 stars from 792,000 reviews. This significant popularity raises questions about the delay in announcing the third season, especially given the involvement of multiple companies such as Aniplex, A-1 Pictures, and Kakao Entertainment in the production.
For those excited about the narrative’s continuation, the silver lining is that indications suggest that Season 3 is likely to be announcement soon. Meanwhile, fans can catch up on the first two seasons, available for streaming on Crunchyroll with both English subtitles and dubs.
In “Solo Leveling,” viewers follow the journey of the world’s weakest hunter, Sung Jinwoo, who, after a near-fatal encounter with monsters, discovers a unique leveling system that allows him to grow immensely in power. The first season focuses on his training, while the second season, titled “Arise from the Shadow,” showcases his transformation into the formidable Shadow Monarch, including deeper explorations into supporting characters’ backgrounds.
The ongoing interest in “Solo Leveling” guarantees that fans can look forward to more thrilling developments in the story, keeping the excitement alive within the anime community.
