Solo Leveling is taking the world by storm, and the buzz around it keeps growing. Following the massive success of its anime adaptation, the franchise is expanding once again. Kakao Entertainment has officially announced that a live-action drama based on Solo Leveling is in the works, exciting fans worldwide.

The anime debuted last year and immediately became one of the most talked-about franchises, with fans praising its gripping story and breathtaking visuals. Now airing as part of the Winter 2025 anime lineup, Solo Leveling -Arise From the Shadow- has only built on that momentum, with its second season living up to the hype.

However, the project has already attracted significant attention within the Korean entertainment industry, hinting at its potential to be a big-budget and high-profile production.

This is not the only exciting development for Solo Leveling. In addition to the anime's success, the ongoing webcomic sequel, Solo Leveling: Ragnarok, has also been performing well. The sequel explores events set long after the anime and follows a new chapter of adventures in the Solo Leveling universe.

Fans can continue enjoying the story through Solo Leveling -Arise From the Shadow-, which airs new episodes weekly on Crunchyroll. The anime showcases the protagonist, Sung Jinwoo, as he faces stronger enemies and comes closer to achieving his ultimate goal of becoming the strongest hunter and saving his mother. For those who prefer dubbed content, the English dub for Season 2 has also started rolling out, adding another layer of accessibility.
