The anime series “Spy x Family” will return for a fourth season in 2027, while a new feature film from the franchise is also scheduled to open in Japanese cinemas that year.
According to Variety, Japanese studio and exhibitor Toho Co. Ltd. announced the plans and released a teaser visual for the upcoming season. The image shows Loid, Yor, Anya and Bond walking together along a European-style city street as newspaper pages blow around them.
Based on Tatsuya Endo’s manga, “Spy x Family” debuted on television in 2022 and has since built a global following through its mix of action, comedy and family drama.
The series follows the Forger family, whose members maintain the appearance of an ordinary household while concealing extraordinary secrets.
Loid Forger, an expert spy operating under the code name Twilight, creates a fake family to carry out a classified mission. He poses as a devoted husband and father to gain access to an elite school and get close to a prominent politician, with the assignment tied to maintaining world peace.
However, Loid does not know that his wife, Yor, is a trained assassin. Neither spouse knows the other’s true identity.
Their adopted daughter, Anya, can read minds and knows both parents’ secrets. Their dog, Bond, can see the future, adding another unusual element to the family’s daily life.
The upcoming feature film will extend the franchise’s presence in cinemas. However, Toho has yet to announce the film’s release date, plot or production details. Further information about the fourth season is also expected later.
Toho, founded in 1932, operates across film production, distribution, cinema exhibition, live theatre, anime and real estate development. Its Toho Animation label is home to popular series such as “My Hero Academia” and “Jujutsu Kaisen”.
The company’s film library also includes the “Godzilla” franchise and Akira Kurosawa’s “Seven Samurai”.
The two planned releases will bring the Forgers back to audiences in 2027, five years after the anime’s television debut.
