Spy x Family Announces Season 4 and New Movie

Spy x Family is getting a fourth anime season and a new movie, both due in 2027. The comedy-action manga was created by Tatsuya Endo and is published by Shueisha.

The announcement was shared on Oct. 8 at the Spy x Family Anime Extra Mission II special event and on the official Spy x Family website.

Season 3 aired from October to December 2025, exactly two years after season 2 ended. If that schedule holds, season 4 could air at the end of 2027. The franchise’s second movie is due the same year. The first, Spy x Family Code: White, was released in 2023.

A family built on secrets

Spy x Family is set in a fictional country resembling Cold War-era East Germany. Ostania and Westalis maintain a fragile peace after years of conflict. Westalis’ intelligence agency, WISE, sends its top agent, codenamed Twilight, to the Ostanian capital of Berlint to spy on Donovan Desmond, a leading politician and former prime minister during the war years.

Twilight must build a fake family and use his daughter to approach Desmond’s son at the prestigious Eden Academy. Posing as a doctor named Loid Forger, he adopts Anya from an orphanage and persuades Yor Briar to become his wife. He does not know that Anya is a telepath or that Yor is Ostania’s best assassin, known as the “Thorn Princess.”

The comedy comes from the three living together while hiding their identities. Loid and Yor’s marriage of convenience slowly develops into a romance, and the family grows closer. Alongside the humor, the series also treats war and violence seriously.

The anime and its next season

The anime, coproduced by Wit Studio and Cloverworks, debuted in 2022 to critical acclaim. The studios also produced Spy x Family Code: White, an original story in which the Forger family takes an unexpected trip to a northern town. The film grossed $95.7 million worldwide, and the manga has sold over 42 million copies.

Wit Studio and Cloverworks are returning for season 4 and are likely to produce the new movie as well. Yasuhiro Akamatsu will replace Yukiko Imai as the season’s director, Aya Takaha will handle series composition, and Kazuaki Shimada will return for character designs.
