Spy×Family Season 4 and Movie 2 Announced for 2027: What We Know

Last checked: November 9, 2026, against the official Spy×Family news page, Anime News Network, Crunchyroll News, MyAnimeList News and Famitsu (Japanese).

Season 3 ended on December 27, 2025, so by the time Season 4 arrives the wait will be at least a year, and the film will land about three years after CODE: White. If you want to catch up first, the order is below, and the premiere will be added to our 2026 and 2027 anime release schedule and the anime release calendar as soon as a date exists.

What is confirmed

Nearly every key role is a changeover from Season 3, which Crunchyroll credits to director Yukiko Imai and series composer Rino Yamazaki. That is the part worth watching. A new director, assistant director, series composer, art director and sound lineup is a real reset for a franchise that has changed directors before. Whether it shows on screen is something we can only judge once there is footage.

What is not confirmed

• Premiere month or season. "2027" is all anyone has. Don't trust a "Spring 2027" or "April 2027" claim until the official site or X account posts it.
• Film title, plot and release date. The film is described only as the franchise's second theatrical entry.
• Which manga arcs Season 4 adapts. Nobody has said, and we won't guess here.
• Outside Japan. Crunchyroll streams Seasons 1 to 3 and CODE: White, but no outside-Japan deal for Season 4 or the film has been named. For now, treat Crunchyroll as likely rather than confirmed.
• Dub plans. Crunchyroll carries the earlier seasons in sub and dub. Nothing has been said about Season 4.

The Spy×Family watch order

Here is the order that works for a first watch, with the dates from the sources above:

Our take on the film: because CODE: White is an original story, you can slot it almost anywhere after Season 1. Putting it after Season 2 matches the release order, and the Forger dynamics already feel settled by then. If you're short on time, Season 3 doesn't depend on the film, so you can skip the movie and still follow the series. Treat that as our reading of ANN's "all-new work with an original story" description, not an official viewing guide.

How big is the franchise right now?

The numbers behind the announcement matter because they explain why two projects were greenlit at once:

• Famitsu reports the manga has passed 42 million copies in circulation across its 18 volumes.
• CODE: White opened in 383 theaters on December 22, 2023, per Famitsu, which also reports more than 4.6 million admissions in Japan and more than 14 million worldwide. MAL puts the Japanese gross at over ¥6.2 billion (roughly US$40.2 million) and says the film topped the box office its opening weekend.

A TV season plus a movie in the same year is also the pattern Spy×Family followed in 2023, when Season 2 aired in autumn and CODE: White followed in December. That's our observation from the dates above, not a statement from the studios, so don't read a December 2027 film date into it.

Where to watch right now

Outside Japan, Crunchyroll carries Seasons 1 to 3 and CODE: White (Crunchyroll News, November 8, 2026). Availability varies by territory, so check our where to watch guide and the legal streaming breakdown before you hit a paywall. For other long-running series, our watch orders hub and the general anime watch order guide cover what to do when a franchise has side films like this one.

Why we're excited, and what we want

Season 4 and the film arriving together is the headline. The staff reset is the story. Season 3 got a longer 13-episode run under a new director, and Season 4 brings another leadership change. We're hoping the new team keeps the comedy timing that made the Forgers work and keeps the espionage plot from slipping into the background. We'll refresh this page when a month, a film title or a streamer is announced, and we'll note anything the official site contradicts.
