Is ‘Spy x Family’ returning for season 4? Everything we know so far

Spy x Family has not been officially renewed for Season 4 as of late April 2026.

Season 3 (13 episodes) aired from October 4 to December 27, 2025, on TV Tokyo (and internationally via Crunchyroll and other platforms). It adapted manga chapters roughly from Mission 60 to 87 (plus a side story), continuing arcs involving Loid’s past, Anya and Damian’s school dynamics, and the broader Forger family espionage-comedy setup.

Spy x Family season 4: Current Status

Following the Season 3 finale, there was no post-credits announcement or immediate renewal from the production committee (involving studios like CloverWorks and Wit Studio, plus TV Tokyo). Instead, the official anime Twitter/X account highlighted an upcoming fan event called SPY x FAMILY ANIME EXTRA MISSION II, scheduled for November 8, 2026, in Tokyo, with main cast members attending. Many fans and reports see this as a possible future window for a Season 4 announcement, but nothing has been confirmed yet.

Recent articles (as of April 2026) describe the lack of news as a “disappointing update” or note that Season 4 “remains in production limbo.” The franchise has instead shared updates on a stage play sequel (Spy x Family 2), which adapts earlier arcs like the “Bomb Dog” story.

Fans Expect a Season 4 Eventually

– The manga by Tatsuya Endo is still ongoing and very popular, with new chapters releasing regularly (Chapter 133 dropped on April 26, 2026; Chapter 134 is expected around May 10). There’s plenty of source material left for future seasons.

– Spy x Family has massive global popularity, strong merchandise sales, and consistent viewership, which usually supports long-term adaptations.

– Previous seasons followed a pattern of announcements at events or after sufficient manga buildup.

That said, anime production schedules (especially for high-quality shows involving multiple studios) often involve deliberate pacing, and gaps between seasons aren’t unusual. Some speculation points to a potential announcement in late 2026, possibly tied to the November event, but this remains unconfirmed.

What to Expect Next

– Short-term: Watch for updates around the November 2026 anime event or at events like Jump Festa. The stage play sequel is the main confirmed project right now.

– Longer-term: If renewed, Season 4 would likely continue adapting ongoing manga arcs (e.g., school, spy, and family elements). No release window exists yet.

– In the meantime, Season 3 (and prior seasons) are available on Crunchyroll and other services; Season 3 also began rolling out on Netflix in some regions (e.g., US starting April 2026).

Spy x Family is very likely to return for more anime due to its popularity and available manga content, but there’s no official Season 4 greenlight or production confirmation right now. Fans will probably need to wait several more months for concrete news. Keep an eye on the official @spyfamily_anime account and reliable anime news outlets for the latest.
