One of the best anime series in recent years is coming with a new season and a feature film. Spy x Family, the comedy-action manga created by Tatsuya Endo and published by Shueisha, is getting a fourth anime season and a new movie, both coming in 2027.

The announcement, shared on Oct. 8 at the Spy x Family Anime Extra Mission II special event and on the official Spy x Family website, came as a pleasant surprise for fans. Season 3 of the anime aired from October to December 2025, exactly two years after season 2 ended. If the timeframe remains consistent, fans can expect season 4 to air at the end of 2027. The franchise's second movie will come out in the same year, following the success of Spy x Family's first outing in cinemas, Spy x Family Code: White, released in 2023.

Spy x Family is a deceptively lighthearted story set in a fictional country resembling Cold War-era East Germany. The two countries of Ostania and Westalis maintain a fragile peace after years of conflict. Westalis' intelligence agency, WISE, sends its top agent, codename Twilight, to Ostania's capital, Berlint, to spy on Donovan Desmond, the country's top politician and former prime minister during the war years. To do so, Twilight has to build a fake family and use his "daughter" to approach Desmond's son in the prestigious Eden Academy. However, Twilight, now posing as esteemed doctor Loid Forger, doesn't know that the child he adopts from an orphanage, Anya, is secretly a telepath, and the woman he convinces to take the role of his wife is Ostania's best assassin, the "Thorn Princess" Yor Briar.
