Everything You Need to Know About Spy x Family Movie

The popularity of Spy x Family skyrocketed in 2022 after the first season of the anime started streaming. According to Shueisha, the manga has sold more than 25 million copies, and it has become the second most successful hit after Assassination Classroom.

It seems 2023 is going to be a Spy x Family year as well. Not only did the anime get renewed for another season, but the series will get a brand-new original movie as well!

During the Spy x Family stage presentation in Jumpa Festa 2023 to promote the upcoming musical, it was announced that Spy x Family will be getting a second season and a debut feature film as well. All of them are slated to be released in 2023.

What will be the Spy x Family movie about?

Oricon News reported that the movie will have a completely original story, so we won’t see any existing arcs get adapted into the movie. Tatsuya Endo will be directly involved in the production of the plot and the original character designs.

The author drew the key visual of the film and posted it on Twitter, causing even more hype among fans.

No official news regarding the movie’s plot has been released yet, but we can make some predictions from the key visual.

Loid and his family can be seen riding a plane, so it seems that they are definitely going on a vacation. It’s possible that the movie is set in winter or in a cold place, since Loid and Yor are obviously bundled up in winter clothes.

Many fans had speculated that the cruise ship arc might get a movie, but since the feature film will be entirely original, it is possible that we’ll see that arc in the second season instead.

Other 2023 announcements for Spy x Family series

Besides the official announcement of the feature film, we will get a wholesome dose of the Forger family yet again in Season 2. Season 2 will be released sometime in 2023, and it will probably kick off with the Great Cruise Adventure arc.
