Spy x Family Season 3: What’s Next for the Forgers?

The Forgers Are Coming Back — And I’m So Ready

I’m Riku, the guy who treats One Piece like religion and uses anime quotes to navigate real-life situations. But even I need a break from devil fruits and world-ending stakes sometimes. That’s where Spy x Family comes in — the perfect blend of espionage, chaos, and wholesome family energy.

Now, with Spy x Family Season 3 officially in the pipeline, it’s time to talk about what we can expect from Loid, Yor, and our psychic queen Anya — because if the manga is anything to go by, things are about to get real interesting.

Recap: What Happened in Spy x Family Season 2?

Before we peek into the classified files of Smy X Family Season 3, let’s jog our memory.

Season 2 wrapped up with a perfect mix of goofy Anya hijinks and covert operations. We got to see more from Yor as she tried to balance motherhood with moonlighting as an assassin, while Loid juggled his identity as Twilight with his growing (and totally unexpected) attachment to his fake family.

And don’t forget that cruise arc — which, let’s be honest, gave us some of the best Yor fight scenes yet. She really said, “I’m a wife and a weapon.”

But beneath all the laughs and disguises, the tension was rising. The threat of war between Westalis and Ostania still looms large, and Loid’s Operation Strix is far from complete.

What Spy x Family Season 3 Is Likely to Cover

Alright, let’s get to the good stuff. Based on the manga, here’s what I (and many fans) think Spy x Family Season 3 will focus on:

Operation Strix Escalates

Loid’s mission to maintain peace through manipulating school politics (with the help of a 6-year-old telepath, naturally) is getting tougher. As his double life wears on him, we’ll likely see more cracks in his professional facade — and a lot more heart underneath it.

Season 3 will probably start pushing Loid into some darker territory emotionally, especially as his feelings for his family get harder to ignore. And honestly, I’m here for conflicted anime dads.

Yor’s Secret Life Gets Riskier

Yor’s role in the Garden (her assassin group) may be explored more deeply, with potential consequences creeping into her civilian life. The tension between being a loving mom and a deadly killer is one of the best parts of her character — and I expect some big moral dilemmas ahead.

And if we get more fights like the cruise arc? Chef’s kiss.

Anya Steals the Show (As Usual)

If there’s one thing you can count on, it’s Anya causing chaos with the best intentions. In Season 3, she might finally get closer to her goal of becoming an Imperial Scholar. Expect more school drama, friendship arcs, and maybe even actual growth in her ability to use telepathy wisely (or not).

Either way, she’s the heart of the show — and let’s be honest, she carries half the memes on anime Twitter.

Will Season 3 Follow the Manga?

Short answer: Yes — and that’s a good thing.

The anime adaptation has been very faithful to the manga, which means we can expect some top-tier arcs coming next. No spoilers, but if you’ve read ahead, you know we’re heading into deeper family bonds, higher-stakes spy missions, and some emotional gut-punches.

And for anime-only viewers? Buckle up. It’s not just comedy and costumes anymore — things are heating up in the most unexpected ways.

Studio WIT x CloverWorks — Still the Dream Team?

Let’s give a quick shoutout to the animation teams. WIT Studio and CloverWorks have done an incredible job with the visual tone of Spy x Family. They’ve balanced slapstick humor, tense spy scenes, and soft emotional moments like pros.

If they return for Season 3 (which seems likely), expect the same gorgeous visuals, expressive character animation, and fun insert songs we’ve grown to love.

A Smart Blend of Genres That Still Feels Fresh

What keeps Spy x Family so addictive is that it doesn’t try to fit in one box. It’s an action-comedy. It’s a slice-of-life. It’s a political thriller. It’s also just… a family story about people who suck at pretending they don’t care about each other.

It makes you laugh, then stress, then smile like an idiot — all in one episode.

That’s rare. And in a world where every show is trying to out-dark or out-shock each other (looking at you, Chainsaw Man), Spy x Family keeps things clever without losing heart.

If You Love Spy x Family, You’ll Want to Watch Chainsaw Man Season 2

Now I know what you’re thinking — “Riku, Chainsaw Man and Spy x Family are nothing alike.”

But hear me out.

They actually share some DNA. Both series juggle double lives, found families, and brutal systems that mess with your identity. Denji wants a normal life but keeps getting dragged into madness. Loid wants peace but has to lie to everyone to get it.

If you’re ready for something darker, messier, and wildly unpredictable, I highly recommend checking out Chainsaw Man Season 2. It’s got the same sharp writing, with a bloodier punch. Think of it as the chaotic older cousin of Spy x Family.

Season 3 Can’t Come Soon Enough

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again — anime is thriving, and Spy x Family is proof of that. It’s rare to find a show that’s this funny, this clever, and this emotionally satisfying all at once.

Season 3 has the potential to be the best one yet. With deeper stakes, more character growth, and plenty of spy nonsense, I’ll be tuning in the second it drops — and probably writing another review before the ending credits roll.
