SPY x FAMILY is officially returning for a fourth season and a second theatrical film, both scheduled for release in 2027. The announcement confirms that the Forger family—comprised of a master spy, a professional assassin, and a telepathic child—will continue their fake-family mission across two distinct formats. This follow-up maintains the franchise's momentum following the conclusion of its third season in late 2025.
The double-project reveal took place on November 8, 2026, during the "SPY x FAMILY ANIME EXTRA MISSION II" special event in Tokyo. This confirmation marks 2027 as the most significant year for the series since its debut, as it will feature both a television continuation and a new cinematic entry produced by the long-standing partnership between WIT STUDIO and CloverWorks.
What We Know
The dual announcement was made during a live event in Tokyo. WIT STUDIO and CloverWorks are confirmed to return as the primary animation studios for Season 4. Staffing changes for the upcoming season include director Yasuhiro Akamatsu taking the lead role, supported by assistant director Hiroki Shinagawa. The narrative framework will be managed by Aya Takaha for series composition, with Yoko Yonaiyama serving as assistant series composition. Visual consistency is maintained through character designers Satoshi Kadowaki and Kazuaki Shimada, alongside art director Ichiro Tatsuta.
The extensive voice cast remains intact for the 2027 projects. Takuya Eguchi returns as Loid Forger, Atsumi Tanezaki as Anya Forger, and Saori Hayami as Yor Forger. Kenichiro Matsuda will again provide the voice for Bond Forger and serve as the series narrator. Supporting characters such as Henry Henderson (Kazuhiro Yamaji), Yuri Briar (Kensho Ono), and Damian Desmond (Natsumi Fujiwara) are also confirmed to return. Other cast members reprising their roles include Hiroyuki Yoshino as Franky Franklin, Yuko Kaida as Sylvia Sherwood, Emiri Kato as Becky Blackbell, and Ayane Sakura as Fiona Frost. The second movie will be a new theatrical release following the success of SPY x FAMILY CODE: White.
Why It Matters
The decision to produce a fourth season and a second film simultaneously reflects the franchise's established market position. Since its serialization began on Shonen Jump+ in March 2019, Tatsuya Endo's manga has grown into a global success, surpassing 42 million copies in circulation by November 2026. This new production cycle follows a consistent release pattern: Season 1 debuted in 2022 with 25 episodes, followed by a 12-episode Season 2 in 2023, and a 13-episode Season 3 which concluded in December 2025. By scheduling both the TV series and a film for 2027, the production committee ensures the franchise remains a central fixture in the anime landscape.
Where to Watch
For viewers looking to catch up before the 2027 release date, Crunchyroll remains the primary legal streaming platform. The service hosts all three previous seasons and the first theatrical film, CODE: White. English dubs for the existing episodes are already available, and a dub for Season 4 is expected to follow the Japanese broadcast in 2027. Subscription plans and pricing for Crunchyroll vary by region, and viewers should check the official platform for local details.
What Happens Next
As of November 2026, no specific release date beyond the 2027 window has been announced. The production has not yet clarified whether the television series or the movie will premiere first within that year. Furthermore, international theatrical dates for the second film have not been established. Fans should monitor official channels for the reveal of teaser visuals or trailers, which typically precede the Japanese broadcast by several months.
