The Solo Leveling anime quickly became incredibly popular after its first season premiered in 2024. By 2025, with the Jeju Island Arc being animated and the show winning Anime of the Year, it had gained a huge following. Fans have been waiting for news about a third season ever since the second season ended last year, but there’s been no official announcement. Just when hope was starting to fade, the anime’s producer has given fans a reason to be optimistic again.
On January 1, 2026, Atsushi Kaneko, the producer of the Solo Leveling anime, posted on X (formerly Twitter) saying he’d share an update about the series soon. He wished fans a Happy New Year and hinted that something exciting could happen for Solo Leveling fans this year. Considering his involvement with the anime, this suggests he’s teasing some big news, though specific details haven’t been revealed yet.
Solo Leveling Producer Confirms a New Anime Update Is Underway
Happy New Year 2026! I got this rubber band late last year, and it says “Art is not a crime.” I’m going to make that my motto for 2026 and give it my all! Also, something really amazing might happen for fans of “SL” this year… I’m so excited!

The anime’s producer has hinted at big news, but we don’t know when it will be revealed. The creator, Kaneko, has asked fans for patience, suggesting the announcement might still be several months away. Since the anime hasn’t confirmed its future plans, the news could be about a third season. Even if a new season is confirmed, it could still take over a year to actually come out. However, Kaneko’s ‘exciting’ news might also signal a significant change for the series.
Kaneko has been hinting at a significant announcement since Season 2 ended, and his recent posts have only increased the excitement. Many fans now believe the next release of Solo Leveling might be a movie instead of a new season of the anime. This idea seems likely, as anime movies are becoming more and more popular. Solo Leveling gained a lot of fans during its second season, and the studio may want to see if a movie version would be successful. Whatever happens next for the Solo Leveling anime, we can expect some big news soon.
