‘Spy x Family’ fans have spent almost a year waiting for word on the Forger family’s next adventure. The hit anime, based on Tatsuya Endo’s manga, wrapped its third season on December 27, 2025, without announcing any follow-up, leaving fans unsure when Loid, Yor, and Anya would return.

Instead of a renewal, the production committee announced a special stage event called ‘SPY x FAMILY ANIME EXTRA MISSION II’, set for November 8 in Tokyo. Fans saw it as the most likely place for big news, since the first Extra Mission event in June 2024 was where Season 3 was announced.

That hunch paid off. At the end of the event, the team confirmed that ‘Spy x Family’ Season 4 and a second theatrical film are both set to release in 2027. The official ‘Spy x Family’ website confirmed after the event that production is underway on both the new season and the second movie. Season 4 will air on TV in 2027, and the film will open in Japanese theaters the same year.

No exact release dates have been set yet, and the storylines for both projects are still under wraps. Staff details and more information will be shared at a later date. The Season 4 announcement came with a new illustration showing Loid, Yor, Anya, and Bond walking together through a European-style city as newspaper pages blow across the street.

According to Screen Rant, the poster was drawn by Satoshi Kadowaki, an animator known for his work as chief animation director on ‘Attack on Titan’, who is joining as the new season’s character designer.

Extra Mission II was the franchise’s first large standalone event in about two and a half years, held at Belle Salle Takadanobaba across afternoon and evening shows. Eight members of the main voice cast took the stage, including Takuya Eguchi, Atsumi Tanezaki, Saori Hayami, Kenichiro Matsuda, Kensho Ono, Natsumi Fujiwara, Emiri Kato and Ayane Sakura.

The program included a Season 3 recap discussion, live dubbing, games, and an autographed poster giveaway, all leading up to a closing segment of new announcements. Attendees also received an exclusive pamphlet featuring interviews with all 8 cast members.

The new film will follow ‘Spy x Family Code: White’, the franchise’s first movie, which opened in Japan in December 2023 with an original story supervised by Endo. It topped the Japanese box office in its opening weekend and went on to earn more than ¥6.3 billion in Japan.

Crunchyroll later brought the film to North American theaters, helping expand the series’ global audience. With a second film now confirmed, the anime is joining the growing list of franchises bringing big theatrical events to fans in 2027.

Season 3 premiered on October 4, 2025, and adapted the manga from Mission 60 to Mission 87. It was a hit in Japan, holding the top spot in anime. eiga’s weekly recording rankings for several weeks in a row during its run.

The source material keeps growing as well. Endo’s manga has been serialized on Shonen Jump+ since March 2019, and the series has passed 38 million copies in circulation, so there’s still plenty of unadapted story for the anime to explore.

For now, fans will have to wait for more details on what missions are next for the Forgers. But after a long wait, knowing that Operation Strix will continue on both TV and the big screen is the news fans were hoping for.
