Understanding the Episode Count: Leading to Episode 45
To understand what “Episode 45” signifies for Spy×Family Season 3, it’s helpful to look at the episode counts of previous seasons and how the series numbers its missions.
Cumulative Episode Numbering
Spy×Family uses a continuous numbering system for its episodes, often titled “Mission” followed by a number, which carries over across seasons.
- Season 1: Consisted of 25 episodes, split into two cours. The first part (12 episodes) aired from April to June 2022, and the second part (13 episodes) aired from October to December 2022.
- Season 2: Comprised 12 episodes, airing from October to December 2023. The first episode of Season 2 was “Mission 26.”
Given this numbering convention, a potential “Episode 45” would be the eighth episode of Season 3, assuming Season 3 follows the 12-episode structure of Season 2. As of current information, Spy×Family Season 3 is expected to last for 12 episodes, similar to Season 2.
According to the release schedule, Spy×Family Season 3, Episode 8 (which would be overall Episode 45) was scheduled for release on November 22, 2025.
Where to Watch Spy×Family Season 3
For fans outside of Asia, Spy×Family Season 3 is licensed for streaming by Crunchyroll. A premium subscription is required to watch the new season. The English dub for Season 3 also returns on Crunchyroll, with new dubbed episodes typically released a couple of weeks after their Japanese counterparts. Muse Communication handles licensing and distribution in various Asia-Pacific countries.
What to Expect from Spy×Family Season 3’s Plot
Spy×Family Season 3 will continue to follow the intricate and often hilarious lives of Loid Forger (the master spy Twilight), Yor Forger (the deadly assassin Thorn Princess), their telepathic adopted daughter Anya, and their clairvoyant dog Bond. Each family member continues to conceal their true identities from one another while striving to maintain their fragile, yet endearing, facade.
The first two seasons and the Spy×Family: Code White film covered roughly up to Chapter 60 of the manga. Therefore, Season 3 is anticipated to pick up the story from around Chapter 61 of Tatsuya Endo’s manga.
Manga readers speculate that Season 3 could cover several arcs, potentially including “The WISE arc,” “The Friendship schemes arc,” “The Red Circus arc,” and “The Mole Hunt arc,” which encompass around 30 chapters. These arcs would likely further delve into Loid’s mission to infiltrate Donovan Desmond’s circle, Anya’s efforts at Eden Academy to earn Stella Stars and befriend Damian, and Yor’s challenges in balancing her assassin duties with her newfound family life. The deeper dive into Loid’s past has also been teased in trailers for the new season.
The dynamic blend of action, comedy, and heartfelt family moments that fans adore is expected to remain central to Spy×Family Season 3, offering more thrilling missions and character development for the beloved Forger family.
