Anticipation Builds as Spy×Family Season 3 Premieres, Diving into Loid Forger's Mysterious Past

The global phenomenon Spy×Family is back, captivating audiences with its highly anticipated third season, which officially premiered on October 4, 2025. Fans across Japan can tune in via prominent networks like TV Tokyo and BS TV Tokyo to witness the next thrilling chapter. A collaborative effort from the acclaimed Wit Studio and CloverWorks, this season introduces a notable shift in direction, with Yukiko Imai, a seasoned episode director, stepping into the lead directorial role, following in the footsteps of previous season directors Kazuhiro Furuhashi and Takahiro Harada.
This installment promises to plunge deep into the enigmatic origins of its protagonist with the much-awaited 'Loid Forger: Past Arc.' To fuel the excitement, TOHO animation unveiled a compelling 41-second promotional video on October 4, offering tantalizing glimpses into this pivotal storyline, which is slated to begin its broadcast on October 11. The promo has already ignited discussions among the devoted fanbase, eager to uncover the secrets of the master spy.
At its core, Spy×Family continues to weave the intricate tale of Twilight, a formidable spy from Westalis, whose mission to safeguard fragile global peace hinges on infiltrating Ostania's high society. To achieve this, he orchestrates a fabricated family unit: an unwitting assassin as his wife and a telepathic adopted daughter, each blissfully unaware of the others' true identities. The renewed emphasis on Loid’s formative years and motivations is set to enrich the narrative, offering viewers an unparalleled understanding of the man behind the mission.

Beyond the familiar faces, the production welcomes new talent, including Yuki Takeuchi and Tomomi Sugimoto overseeing art direction, Keita Watanabe as the CG director, and Rina Koguchi managing the editing, ensuring a fresh and polished visual experience.
The Spy×Family universe extends its reach far beyond the animated series, having inspired successful stage musicals in 2023, with a second run continuing through late 2025. For readers, the original manga remains readily available in English through Shueisha's MANGA Plus and Viz Media's Shonen Jump digital service, complemented by print editions from Viz Media. Internationally, Crunchyroll provides simultaneous streaming of the new episodes outside of Asia, ensuring that fans worldwide can follow the unfolding drama.
This new season is poised to not only enthrall viewers but also significantly deepen the beloved characters' journeys and expand the narrative's compelling complexity.
