The Solo Leveling franchise returns with Ragnarok Season 2, premiering November 11, 2025, on Tapas. Following the Korean serialization on Kakaopage that began in August, the English-language release will deliver new chapters every Saturday. Created by JIN and Brix of Redice Studio, the sequel shifts focus to Sung Suho, son of original protagonist Sung Jinwoo, as he confronts cosmic threats in a post-Monarch world. The launch marks a major milestone for the franchise, which continues to expand across formats and global audiences.
Solo Leveling: Ragnarok Season 2 will debut on Tapas on November 11, with weekly updates scheduled through the end of the year. The sequel follows Sung Suho, whose powers were sealed by his father, Jinwoo, for protection. As the Itarim—beings stronger than the Monarchs—emerge, Suho must awaken his abilities with guidance from Beru. The series builds on the success of Season 1, which concluded on June 21, 2025, with Chapter 47. The Korean version began its second season on August 6 and is currently ahead by over a dozen chapters.
