Solo Leveling is the breakout hit of 2024 so far, and it turns out Season 2 is further along than we might’ve thought.

Excitement for Solo Leveling Season 2 has been palpable since the first ended back in March. Sung Jinwoo defeating Igris and becoming the Shadow Monarch put a fine point on his awesome journey from low-level hero to dungeon warrior.

Atsushi Kaneko, Animation Producer at A-1 Pictures, revealed on Twitter that dubbing is now done on all the episodes for Season 2. According to him, the studio is moving at a “furious pace”, which is very encouraging.

“Dubbing for all episodes has been completed successfully!” his post states. “There are so many things I can’t say, but first of all, I’d like to say a big thank you to all the cast members for their hard work.”

He goes to talk about relying on his colleagues to “overcome obstacles, before adding “please wait a little longer until new information is released”. Included are some drinks distributor Aniplex provided as a reward for the milestone.

We actually got a proper trailer for Solo Leveling Season 2 back in July, only a few months after the first season’s finale. This suggested production was moving at a strong pace, and now it seems that was correct.

The gap between anime seasons can be long – just ask anyone waiting for One Punch Man Season 3. But it looks like Solo Leveling won’t be keeping anyone waiting too long for what’s coming. Good thing too, since the “Arise” is truly the tip of the iceberg in Sung Jinwoo’s story.

The reception for the first season is kind of thing you should work to preserve, and A-1 Pictures are doing just that. We’ll keep you informed. Meanwhile, check out our guides on Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle and Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 for what else is happening in anime’s top franchises.
