The long-awaited SPY x FAMILY franchise has just confirmed the production of its fourth anime season, as well as a new movie for Japanese theaters. Both releases are scheduled for 2027, bringing news to the popular Forger saga.
Announcement and Release Dates
Producer Toho revealed that both the new season and the SPY x FAMILY movie will arrive in 2027. While the news is exciting for fans, the company has not yet released crucial information about the animation studio, the production team, or the voice cast who will work on the new projects. This information is usually highly anticipated by fans, especially considering the success of previous productions.
More about SPY x FAMILY
The story of SPY x FAMILY, created by Tatsuya Endo, centers on the unlikely Forger family. Loid Forger, a master spy known as Twilight, must form a family to fulfill a vital mission for world peace, Operation Strix. He adopts the orphan Anya, who secretly possesses telepathic abilities, and marries Yor Briar, an ordinary employee who leads a double life as a lethal assassin known as the Thorn Princess. None of the three know each other's true secret identities, resulting in a family dynamic filled with humor, action, and heartwarming moments.
The narrative explores Loid's challenges in maintaining his facade, Anya's efforts to help "Papa" and "Mama" with her powers, and Yor's struggle to balance her normal life with her profession as an assassin. The manga, published in Shueisha's digital magazine Shonen Jump+, achieved great success, leading to the anime adaptation. The first seasons of the anime, which adapted the manga's initial arcs, were acclaimed by critics and audiences alike for their high-quality animation, produced by Wit Studio (known for Attack on Titan in its early seasons) and CloverWorks (responsible for The Promised Neverland and Bocchi the Rock!). Careful direction, captivating character designs, and an engaging soundtrack contributed to the series' resounding success, which quickly became a global phenomenon. Crunchyroll was the platform responsible for broadcasting the anime in various regions worldwide, including Brazil, where it gained a dedicated fanbase and a Brazilian Portuguese dub. The expectation now is to see how Toho will plan the production for the fourth season and the movie, especially since the previous studios have not been confirmed for these new projects.
