Spy x Family (pronounced Spy Family), a manga-turned-anime, has been around since it first aired in April 2022. They have announced that season 3 is in production, but they have not released any dates as to when we can expect the third season to premiere.
Spy x Family is about a spy, Loid, who is on his most dangerous and complicated mission yet—pretending to be a family man. The hilarious part is that Loid’s wife, Yor, is an assassin, and Anya, his daughter, is a telepath who knows Loid’s and Yor’s secrets. But neither Loid nor Yor know about the other’s secret life or Anya’s ability. Watch as they traverse through life carefully with subterfuge and humor.
Spy x Family: The Story
“Everyone has a secret self they don’t show to other people. Not to friends…not to lovers… not even to family. They hide who they are and what they want behind lies and painted smiles. And thus the world maintains its thin veneer of peace.” These are the very first opening lines of Spy x Family in the manga.
Twilight, Loid’s codename, is a top-secret agent who must have a wife and child and enter the said child into a prestigious academy to gain access to the target’s inner circle to maintain world peace. Loid uses his adoptive daughter, Anya, as a way to gain entrance into top-notch Eden Academy, and if Anya can maintain her grades, she will gain her family access to a prestigious circle that his target is a part of.
Thus, world peace will be achieved by talking to the target and gingerly earning Desmond’s trust. Anya is not a genius, even if she sometimes poses as one. To get Loid to adopt her, she read Loid’s mind as she filled out a crossword puzzle. Thereby sealing the deal, when she got every one of the answers correct, she convinced Loid she was the right girl for him to enroll in Eden. Loid thought Anya would fly through the entrance exam to Eden. She didn’t.

Spy x Family was a manga first. Written and illustrated by Tatsuya Endo, the manga has appeared since March 2019 and runs through March 2024. There is more to come in the series. The 12th book of the manga series comes out this year on August 6. There have been over 35 million copies in circulation, making this series one of the best-selling manga of all time.
The Spy x Family manga has become so popular that it has been serialized biweekly on Shueisha’s Shonen Jump+ app and website since March 2019. Spy x Family was licensed by Viz Media in North America. The anime television series was produced by Wit Studio and Cloverworks and premiered on TV Tokyo and affiliate stations in April 2022. Spy x Family has since been licensed by Muse Communications in Asia and Crunchyroll worldwide.
The second half of season 1 aired in October 2022 and ended in December of the same year. The second season aired at the same time the next year, in 2023. Now, a third season has been announced to be in production, but there are no dates as of yet. However, there is an anime film called Spy x Family Code: White, which features a return of the cast from the television series. It was released theatrically in the United States and Canada in April 2024.
Spy x Family: When the Next Season Will Air
If we follow the trends of the original airings of seasons 1 and 2, season 3 could possibly air in October if we follow the trends of the previous seasons and when they came out. No set date has been announced yet for when Spy x Family will be released.
In the meantime, as we wait for Spy x Family to be continued in season three, potentially airing in October 2024, Anya and her dog, Bond, are snuggling up and sleeping beside one another. Anya, Loid’s adoptive daughter, is often finding herself in trouble. She either stumbles upon it or it comes to her due to the nature of Loid’s and Yor’s work. Anya is not far behind.
Then there is Bond, the dog. When Anya finally got good grades (she is not good at school and hates studying), she received a dog as a reward. Bond is a dog that was experimented on and can see possible futures. However, that future may be altered. Anya, who reads minds, reads Bond’s mind and tries to stop these possible horrific futures from happening. Like a bomb exploding close to where Loid is going to be.
Concluding Thoughts
Spy x Family is one of my favorite mangas. While I haven’t subscribed to Crunchyroll so I can see all of the episodes leading up to season 3, I have seen most of season 1 on Hulu. When I tried watching all of Season 1, I could only get so far because only some of the episodes in Season 1 were translated into English. However, what I watched was excellent. It followed the manga (which I’ve read up to book 11) very closely. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants a spy thriller with a bit of humor to boot.
