One of the biggest action-packed yet wholesome anime series to emerge in the early 2020s is returning next year. With both the anime and manga still popular, the recent English release on the New York Times Best Sellers list, and the latest Japanese manga volume hitting shelves, it’s clear there’s still demand for this growing franchise. So much so that fans aren’t just getting a new season.
The franchise in question is Spy x Family, an anime based on Tatsuya Endo‘s manga series of the same name. The series takes place in a world where two rival countries maintain an uneasy peace following a war. Agent Twilight (Alex Organ/Takuya Eguchi), a spy from Westalis, is assigned his latest mission, Operation Strix: form a fake family, enroll a child in a prestigious private school, and get close to a politician named Donovan Desmond, whose children attend the same institution. What Twilight doesn’t know is that his fake family also has secrets. His wife, Yor Forger (Natalie Van Sistine/Saori Hayami), is secretly an assassin who works at City Hall, while his daughter, Anya (Megan Shipman/Atsumi Tanezaki), is a telepath. As of this writing, three seasons have been released, with the latest episode airing in December 2025. Meanwhile, Spy x Family released its first anime film in 2023, Spy x Family Code: White, which grossed $95.7 million worldwide and features an original story not found in the manga that doesn’t contradict the established canon.
Now, after nearly a year without major updates following Season 3’s debut, Spy x Family has some exciting news: a new season and movie have been greenlit. The announcement was shared on the official Spy x Family website, confirming that Season 4 and a new Spy x Family movie are both scheduled for release sometime in 2027. As of now, the plot of the next film hasn’t been revealed, and it’s unclear whether it will feature another original story outside the manga or adapt an existing story arc. However, a teaser image for Spy x Family Season 4 has been released, offering glimpses of potential story arcs that could be featured.

What Could ‘Spy x Family’ Season 4 Be About?
Based on the teaser image, a handful of manga chapters and new characters have been teased and could appear in the show’s next season. One newspaper page shows Anya hugging an elderly person. Looking closer, Season 4 could introduce Barbara and Sigmund Authen, an elderly couple who become the Forgers’ newest neighbors. In the manga, the couple helps Anya prepare for an upcoming exam, particularly in Classical Language, which appears to be one of her strengths. Additionally, without spoiling too much, Sigmund Authen may have a connection to one of the Forgers’ past.
Another image on the poster features Damian Desmond, Donovan’s son, dancing with Anya. In the manga, this takes place during the end-of-term gala, where Anya and Damian become dance partners. Once again, without spoiling too much, this event leads to major confessions and sets up another story arc teased in the image. Based on what’s shown, along with where Season 3 ended, Spy x Family Season 4 could cover the remaining events of the Wheeler Arc, the Term Finals Arc, and the Love and War Arc.
Spy x Family Seasons 1–3 are available to stream on Crunchyroll. Follow Collider for more updates.
