The highly anticipated third season of the beloved anime series Spy x Family officially premiered on October 4, 2025, bringing the Forger family back to screens for another round of heartwarming deception and thrilling espionage. The new season picks up with master spy Loid Forger (Twilight), his assassin wife Yor, their telepathic adopted daughter Anya, and their precognitive dog Bond as they navigate their extraordinary dual lives.
Fans outside of Asia can catch new episodes streaming weekly on Crunchyroll, with new content dropping every Saturday. The season’s first three episodes aired on October 4, October 11, and October 18, respectively.
Production Details and New Direction for Season 3
Spy x Family Season 3 was officially announced in June 2024 during a special event for the series. The production continues under the collaborative efforts of Wit Studio and CloverWorks, the same studios behind the previous successful seasons.
A notable change for the third season is the directorial shift, with Yukiko Imai taking over the reins. Imai, who previously served as a storyboard artist and episode director for the first two seasons, is replacing Kazuhiro Furuhashi and Takahiro Harada. Despite the change in director, the core creative team and voice cast are set to reprise their roles, aiming to maintain the beloved tone and quality of the series. Rino Yamazaki is handling the series composition, and Kazuaki Shimada continues as the character designer.
Musical Themes and Episode Schedule
The new season introduces fresh musical themes that capture the essence of the Forgers’ world. The opening theme, “Hi o Mamoru” (Protect the Light), is performed by Spitz, while the ending theme, “Actor,” is by Lilas Ikuta.
The third season is expected to run for at least 12 episodes, continuing the weekly release schedule.
Diving Deeper into Character Backstories
Early episodes of Season 3 have already begun to delve into more significant character development, particularly exploring Loid Forger’s complex past. Recent installments have started to reveal his tragic childhood as a war orphan and the difficult path that led him to become the formidable spy known as Twilight. This exploration promises to add new emotional depth to a series already praised for its blend of humor, action, and heartfelt family moments. The narrative will also reportedly focus on Yor Forger and her unexpected connections with powerful political figures.
Manga’s Current Status Amidst Anime Release
While the anime series is in full swing, the Spy x Family manga by Tatsuya Endō recently experienced an unexpected hiatus. Normally released biweekly, the manga skipped its scheduled October 12th chapter, leading to anticipation among readers for the continuation of the “Friendship Schemes Arc” and the unraveling of mysteries surrounding Donovan Desmond and Anya’s telepathic connection.
According to reports, the manga is expected to resume its serialization with Chapter 124 around November 9, 2025. The creator, Tatsuya Endō, acknowledged the break on social media, attributing it to a busy schedule.
With the anime continuing to expand on the beloved narrative and delve into the intricate backstories of its characters, Spy x Family Season 3 is poised to be another impactful installment for fans worldwide.
