An adaptation of the best-selling Korean web novel written by Chugong, Solo Leveling is produced by A-1 Pictures. The first season aired from January through March 2024, with a quick turnaround for Season 2.
The series is set in a world where human warrior hunters who possess supernatural abilities must battle deadly monsters to protect mankind from annihilation. The story follows Sung Jinwoo, a weak hunter who is brutally slaughtered by monsters in a high-ranking dungeon but returns with knowledge of the "System," a program that only he can see and helps him level in every way.
Season 2 of Solo Leveling focuses on a more confident Jinwoo. With improved power, he promises to keep fighting in order to grow stronger.
Jinwoo has become a formidable necromancer with an army of loyal shadows at his command. But he must master these abilities while keeping them hidden from other hunters, all while racing against the clock to save his mother. As he faces humanity’s toughest foes, Jinwoo pushes his body and mind to the limit, and the full extent of his newfound power is revealed.
The first season of Solo Leveling can be watched in its entirety on Crunchyroll, which is also where you can catch the latest episodes for Season 2 -Arise from the Shadow-.
