Season chronology

The second season of the Spy × Family anime television series was produced by Wit Studio and CloverWorks. It was first announced alongside an animated theatrical film on December 18, 2022, at Jump Festa. Ichirō Ōkouchi is replacing Furuhashi as scriptwriter, with the remaining staff and cast reprising their roles.[1][2][3] The series continues to follow master spy Twilight, under the alias of the psychiatrist Loid Forger, and his pretend family, consisting of his daughter Anya, a telepath, his wife Yor, an assassin known as the Thorn Princess, and the family dog Bond with precognitive power.

The second season of the series consists of 12 episodes. The titles of its episodes are written as "Mission" with a number (e.g. "Mission 1", "Mission 2", etc.) which the counting continues across seasons; the first episode of this season is "Mission 26". This kind of naming follows the original manga's practice, which also uses "Mission" for their chapter titles.

The first episode premiered on October 7, 2023.[4][5] The opening theme uses the song "Kura Kura" (クラクラ, lit. "Dizzy") by Ado and is directed by Masaaki Yuasa. The ending theme uses the song "Todome no Ichigeki" (トドメの一撃, lit. "Finishing Strike") by Vaundy (feat. Cory Wong) and is directed by Eugene Winter.[6][7][8][9][10][11]

The season is licensed for streaming by Crunchyroll outside of Asia,[12] while it is distributed by Muse Communication in a selection of countries in South and Southeast Asia.[lower-alpha 1][13]
