Introduction
Get ready for another thrilling adventure with the highly popular spy comedy, SPY×FAMILY, where a family of secrets strives for world peace! The Forger family—Loid, Anya, Yor, and Bond—are set to spring into action once more to protect the delicate balance of the world.
Synopsis
Everyone has a side of themselves they never show to anyone else—a secret self. In an era where nations worldwide are locked in a fierce, clandestine information war, the Eastern (Ostania) and Western (Westalis) countries have been in a cold war for over a decade. The brilliant spy known as <Twilight> (Tasogare), who works for the Westalian Intelligence Services’ Eastern-Focused Division <WISE>, is tasked with a top-secret mission to investigate Donovan Desmond, the chairman of Ostania’s National Unity Party, a dangerous figure threatening peace between East and West.
This mission is codenamed: Operation <Strix>. The objective: “Form a family within a week and infiltrate a social gathering at the prestigious school attended by Desmond’s son.” <Twilight> assumes the identity of psychiatrist Loid Forger and sets out to create a makeshift family. However, the daughter he encounters, Anya, is an esper capable of reading minds, and his wife, Yor, is a deadly assassin! With their personal interests aligning, the three decide to live together while hiding their true identities from each other. The fate of world peace now rests on this eccentric, impromptu family, who face one continuous mishap after another.

Theme Songs
1st Cour
Opening Theme Song: Official Hige Dandism “Mixed Nuts”
Ending Theme Song: Hoshino Gen “Comedy”
2nd Cour
Opening Theme Song: BUMP OF CHICKEN “SOUVENIR”
Ending Theme Song: yama “Shikisai”
3rd Cour
Opening Theme Song: Spitz “Tomoshibi wo Mamoru” (Protect the Light)
Comment from Spitz’s Kusano Masamune:
While SPY×FAMILY is filled with delightful and comical depictions, there’s always an underlying “sadness” flowing through the story. I wanted to create a song that doesn’t shy away from that feeling, yet ultimately steers towards hope. I know some might find the combination of Spitz and SPY×FAMILY unexpected, but I sincerely hope our song can closely accompany the work.
Ending Theme Song: Ikuta Rira “Actor”
Comment from Ikuta Rira:
I wrote the song “Actor” specifically for this. I believe that everyone plays some kind of “role” as they go through their daily lives. Deep within the heart that strives to fulfill that role, there must surely reside feelings of love and kindness for someone important. I would be happy if this song could gently accompany the everyday lives of the Forger family and those around them. I hope you’ll enjoy it.
