Spy x Family Studio Shares Exciting Update Amid Season 4 Delay

Spy x Family premiered its highly anticipated Season 3 in October as part of the Fall 2025 lineup and adapted some of the best moments in the story. The latest season was a rollercoaster of emotions, blending heartbreaking moments with nonsensical comedy as the main characters get involved in some of the most dangerous situations ever. Unfortunately, even months after the second season has been concluded, the studio has yet to renew the series for Season 4, but there’s something else fans can look forward to. The official X handle of Anime Expo confirmed that CloverWorks will be holding a special panel during this year’s event. Akira Shimizu, the President, and Yuichi Fukushima, the Vice President of the studio, will also be in attendance. For over three decades, the annual anime convention held in California, known as Anime Expo, has been bringing exciting news, merchandise, and more.

The event celebrates Japanese pop culture, features panels, holds workshops, and much more as the entire world awaits new updates on upcoming shows. This year’s convention will be held from July 2nd to July 5th, and more details about CloverWorks’ panel will be shared later on. The panel will be held on July 4th, the third day of the convention, where CloverWorks will make several new announcements regarding its upcoming projects. While this beloved spy action series is a collaborative work between CloverWorks and WIT Studio, most of the credit for the animation goes to the former. Aside from Spy x Family, CloverWorks is also known for Bocchi The Rock, My Dress-Up Darling, The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity, and many more acclaimed series.

Spy x Family Season 4 Will Take Longer Than Expected

Usually, for a series as popular as Spy x Family, a sequel season would’ve been announced as soon as the latest season concluded. However, instead, the official X handle of the anime shared details on a special event that will be held on November 8th, 2026. A similar event was held previously, where the cast members did live dubbing and talked about their behind-the-scenes experience.

Additionally, the official X handle also left a cryptic message about the anime’s future in another post, but made no mention of Season 4 or any upcoming projects. The delay means fans will have to wait longer for the story to continue, perhaps in 2027 or even later. The previous seasons have been released in inconsistent time frames, so there’s no room for speculation. Luckily, the latest update from Anime Expo sparks new hopes for a Season 4 announcement. While the delay is disappointing for fans, it will allow the studio more than enough material to continue production, as the manga will keep releasing new chapters on a biweekly schedule.

The upcoming season will be even more exciting, as it is expected to adapt the Term Finals, Love and War, and Term Break Arcs, each offering its own set of plot twists and heartbreaking moments. All seasons of the anime are currently streaming on Crunchyroll and Netflix. All chapters of the manga are available to read on the official apps of Manga Plus and Shonen Jump. You can also check out the series on the official Viz Media website, where you will find all the chapters as well as links to the physical and digital copies of the volumes.
