Other releases
Solo Leveling Season 3
A new movie, "Solo Leveling: Beyond the System," just got announced — it picks up right after Season 2. It's a bridge project, not a replacement for Season 3, and it doesn't have a date yet either.
Dandadan Season 3
The December key visual finally pinned Season 3 to 2027 — an official window, though still a year rather than a date. Science SARU is back to animate it, and the story picks up straight out of the Kaiju arc and into the Space Globalists arc.
Vinland Saga Season 3
Still nothing official. Creator Makoto Yukimura shot down the rumors that Season 3 was in production, saying no one had told him anything about it — the claim traces back to an old interview being misread.
My Hero Academia Season 8
A bonus TV special titled "More," adapting the manga's final chapter (431), premiered on May 2, 2026, closing out the anime for good.
Blue Lock Season 3
The season's official title, "Neo Egoist League," and a new teaser visual were revealed, confirming the October 9, 2026 premiere with studio 8bit returning.
