Subj : Netflix is giving Solo Leveling the live-action treatment, but Im To : All From : TechnologyDaily Date : Thu Jul 10 2025 17:15:06 Netflix is giving Solo Leveling the live-action treatment, but Im worried for season 3 of the hit anime Date: Thu, 10 Jul 2025 16:06:31 +0000 Description: In the ultimate surprise, Netflix has announced a live-action version of Solo Leveling, but what does this mean for the not yet confirmed season 3 of the original anime? FULL STORY ====================================================================== Byeon Woo-seok is set to take on the lead role of Jinwoo in Netflixs freshly announced live-action adaptation of Solo Leveling . While weve got no further details on the project as of yet, the animes success means the K-drama will likely enter the ranks of the best Netflix shows of all time. If youve signed up for Crunchyroll during the Prime Day deals in the US, youll know Solo Leveling isnt actually a Netflix IP. The anime streaming service already hosts the first two seasons of the original series alongside - ReAwakening , the 2024 movie that offers a recap of the first season along with a sneak peek of the first two episodes of season 2. Solo Leveling will be a live-action K-drama, but fans of the anime like me might be worried about the incredibly vague third season and theres good reason to be. Netflixs live-action Solo Leveling could delay season 3 of the anime Jinoo in Solo Leveling . (Image credit: Crunchyroll) After Solo Leveling season 2 wrapped up in March, theres been absolutely no word on whether season 3 will exist, let alone when well be able to see it. From a storyline perspective, we know it should return, with Jinwoo last seen deciding to stay on Jeju Island to fight off the remaining ants that terrorised the area. We know from the manga that the Jeju Island Arc is a springboard for more action, so technically theres more than enough story to tell. So why hasnt Crunchyroll announced anything? The answer is unknown, but if theres crossover between the webtoon, anime and live-action teams, the Netflix adaptation could now be a roadblock for season 3 progress. We dont have an expected release date for either, but at least theres confirmation that the upcoming K-drama exists. If industry guesses are correct, the earliest we could see Solo Leveling season 3 would be in late 2026, leaning into 2027 worst case. Of course, this all hinges on whether its actually announced, with animation producer Atsushi Kaneko alluding to potential planning for it in a behind-the-scenes YouTube video for Crunchyroll. Still, no official news is no news at all. Annoyingly, weve got a bunch of questions that the anime desperately needs to answer. What are the mysterious creatures that arrived at the end of season 2? What does Jinwoos dad want? Will Beru overpower him or turn against him? Will we ever get answers? Hopefully. But were likely to relive Jinwoos season 1 story all over again in live-action first.
