The anime series “Spy x Family” is scheduled to return for a fourth season in 2027. Additionally, Japanese studio and exhibitor Toho Co., Ltd. is preparing a new feature film for a Japanese release in the same year.
To mark the announcement, Toho released a teaser visual for the fourth season. The image is the first from the new season to depict the Forger family together, showing Loid, Yor, Anya, and Bond walking down a European-style city street while newspaper pages blow past them.
The series is adapted from the manga by Endo Tatsuya. It first aired on television in 2022 and has gained a global following by mixing comedy and action. The plot centers on the Forgers, a household that maintains the facade of a normal life while each member harbors a secret. Loid Forger, an expert spy known by the code name Twilight, created a fake family to complete a classified mission. He poses as a husband and father to infiltrate an elite school and gain access to a prominent politician to ensure world peace.
Loid’s cover has gaps he is unaware of. His wife, Yor, is a trained assassin, and neither spouse knows the other's true identity. Their adopted daughter, Anya, possesses the ability to read minds and knows the secrets of both parents. The family dog, Bond, can see the future.
Toho stated that production details, story information, and specific release dates for both the series and the film will be provided later. The new film will be another cinema release for the franchise.
Toho, founded in 1932, operates in film production, distribution, exhibition, live theater, anime, and urban real estate development. Its anime business, which it is growing internationally, operates under the Toho Animation label, which also produces “My Hero Academia” and “Jujutsu Kaisen.” The company's film library includes Kurosawa Akira’s “Seven Samurai” and the “Godzilla” franchise.
The two 2027 releases will bring the Forgers back five years after the anime first debuted on broadcast.
