Spy x Family Season 4 Could Be Announced at Two Upcoming Events

With Anime Expo 2027 and Jump Festa 2027 approaching, fans may finally get an update on the future of the popular anime.

Spy x Family Season 4: Fans have been waiting for an official announcement after Spy x Family Season 3 ended. But despite the buzz, the latest season ended with no confirmation. Two upcoming events may give fans their first big hint about what the future holds for the brand. The first event to check out is Spy x Family Anime Extra Mission 2, a special event themed to the popular anime series.

Fans should still check it out, even if the organizers haven’t made any big announcements. The previous Anime Extra Mission event announced Season 3, so the upcoming edition could be a big one for the franchise’s future. The gathering doesn’t promise a Season 4 reveal, but it gives the production committee a good chance to share an update.

Fans are surely itching to see more of the Forger family’s tale, and given how Season 3 ended, an announcement would definitely be a welcome sight.

The second key opportunity is Jump Festa 2027, where Spy x Family will have its own Super Stage on December 20. Jump Festa is one of the biggest annual events for anime and manga announcements, so it’s another key date for fans to remember. The series has its own dedicated stage, so the makers could be sharing an update on what’s to come.

Of course, if either event results in an official Season 4 announcement, the next question will be when it could launch. Considering the anime’s past release schedule and the usual 12- to 16-month production period, early 2028 could be a realistic timeframe for the next season. However, this is just an estimate based on the information available and should not be considered an official release date.

The production committee or the studios involved have not confirmed a premiere window for Season 4. As for production, if the anime continues with its present production lineup, then Wit Studio and CloverWorks will presumably return. Both studios have brought the series to life in past seasons. However, there’s been no formal word on staff returning, production plans, or any other details about a possible fourth season.

As for the story, season 3 adapted the manga roughly up to chapter 87, so season 4 would start with the aftermath. 

The anime has plenty of source material to work with, so it can take multiple chances to explore new narratives with the Forger family. Story arcs such as the Term Final plot, the Love and War arc, and perhaps the Term Break tale might be adapted in season 4. These changes would let the series explore the relationships among its main protagonists while advancing Loid Forger's covert goal, Operation Strix.

The anime has additional manga material to draw from, giving it plenty of room to continue its blend of comedy, action, family moments, and espionage. But it is not certain how much material a fourth season would cover. For now, fans will have to wait for either Anime Extra Mission 2 or Jump Festa 2027 to see whether either event provides the announcement they have been looking for.
