This post contains spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen.
MAPPA is a popular anime studio responsible for producing titles such as Chains Man, Banana Fish, and Attack on Titan. With such a rich catalog, it's no wonder the studio has developed such an iconic reputation.
Almost every year, fans are treated to incredible anime adaptations, and 2026 will be no different. In January 2026, MAPPA will release an anime that will definitely dethrone Single leveling As the top anime on Crunchyroll.
It's time to say hello to Solo Leveling's 2026 successor anime series

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 is confirmed to release on January 2026, and is the biggest hit of the year. The anime is making a comeback after a three-year absence. MAPPA has already confirmed that the next installment will include content from the cooling game arc, which is one of the most exciting arcs in the entire series. Since this is a new arc, it features the debut of several spells and curses.

JJK Season 3 will contain a lot of action and drama, which will keep the audience on the edge of their seats from start to finish. It will have excellent animation quality, so fights will not be visually boring. New season
While fans know that Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 is going to premiere on January 8th, 2026, the number of episodes remains a mystery. The studio has yet to reveal the episode, but that could change in the coming days as Jujutsu Kaisen will be attending Jump Festa 2026. The series is already teasing a major announcement, so there's a good chance it will be related to the episode count. It is also possible that the announcement could be related to JJK Season 3 Part 2.
Fans may have forgotten, but Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 will be split into two parts, with the first releasing in January 2026. Currently, the studio has not revealed the release date for the second part, but it is possible to assume that it will be released before the end of the year. Since the new season is split into two parts, it's interesting to see how much each will cover. The cooling game arc is rather long and unlikely to wrap up in the first coot. So, the first part is very likely to end on a cliffhanger.
Solo Leveling Season 2 will be removed
JJK has the potential to overtake solo leveling in Season 3
The second season of Solo Leveling shattered many Crunchyroll records, which is a testament to how much viewers enjoyed watching it. While the season was certainly impressive, it was surpassed by Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3. The latter has a much larger fan base; After all, JJK manga has sold over 100 million copies in just a few years. Considering how many people enjoy the manga, Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 surpassing solo leveling is possible.
Jujutsu Kaisen Animator Reveals One Major Detail About Season 3
The Jujutsu Kaisen animator has confirmed that the anime has been in the works for a long time.
If this happens, A-1 Pictures will need to respond in a strong fashion. The studio has produced two phenomenal seasons, so fans' expectations for a third season are incredibly high. They are aware of the studio's capabilities, so they don't accept a simple adaptation. Currently, A-1 Pictures has not shared any news about the third season of the anime, and this is probably because the studio is busy with other projects. The solo leveling director is rumored to be working on another project, causing the studio to halt production.
Others suggest that the third season will be released in 2028, which is still two years away. However, it would be foolish for A-1 Pictures to release the third season after such a long time. The anime's popularity is at an all-time high, and fans are eagerly awaiting the new season. So making them wait that long could prove counterproductive and hurt the popularity of solo leveling. Hopefully, a decision will be reached soon so that fans can enjoy seeing Sung Jinwoo once again.
