Updated May 2026: This guide reflects confirmed streaming availability for both seasons of Solo Leveling as of May 2026. Season 2 concluded in March 2025 and the full series is now available to stream or purchase.
Solo Leveling is a breakout anime adaptation of Chugong’s Korean web novel and manhwa. The story follows Sung Jinwoo, an E-rank hunter — the weakest class in a world plagued by monster-filled dungeons — who acquires a mysterious “level up” ability after surviving a near-death encounter. Season 1 (12 episodes) premiered in January 2024 and quickly became one of the most-watched anime of that season. Season 2, subtitled Arise from the Shadow, aired from January to March 2025 (13 episodes), and a Netflix live-action adaptation is confirmed to begin filming in late 2026.

Season Naming Note
Season 2 is officially titled Solo Leveling Season 2 -Arise from the Shadow- on Crunchyroll. Some storefronts list it simply as “Solo Leveling Season 2.” The Solo Leveling – ReAwakening compilation film (2024) is a recap of Season 1 and is separate from Season 2.
Solo Leveling Seasons 1 and 2 are confirmed on Crunchyroll in the United States. If you’re traveling and your local Crunchyroll library doesn’t carry the series, connecting to a US server with NordVPN is the best way to access your account from abroad.
