Based on the hit manga series, Spy x Family follows Twilight aka Loid Forger, an undercover agent who is forced to form a fake family for an operation. He ends up adopting Anya, an orphan who is secretly a telepath, and marrying Yor, a clerk who is secretly an assassin in the criminal underworld.

Below, we break down everything we know so far about Spy x Family season 2 and beyond. Warning: Spoilers ahead.

What happened in season 1 of Spy x Family

The first season of Spy x Family was split into two halves – the first of which ran from April to June. Part 1 saw our protagonists slowly but surely build their faux family. It kicks off with Twilight, a Westalis spy undercover as psychiatrist Loid Forger on Operation Strix in Ostania.

To jumpstart his fake family, he heads to an orphanage where he adopts six-year old Anya. He then enters into a marriage of convenience with Yor Briar, a lonely civil servant who is all too happy to pose as his wife.

Unbeknownst to Twilight, Anya is a telepath – an escapee from a covert government programme that creates psychics. Likewise, his new bride is secretly an infamous assassin within the Ostanian underworld known as The Thorn Princess, who is facing societal scrutiny as an unmarried woman.

Over the course of season 1, Loid and Yor develop a heartwarming attachment to Anya as they juggle the more mundane stresses of newfound parenthood with the dangers of their double lives.

Part two of Spy x Family season 1 sees the Forgers adopt a dog with the uncanny ability to view the future, which Anya then interprets. Loid and his family work together to infiltrate the Eden Academy, getting the super spy one step closer to saving the world, eventually coming face-to-face with his target for the first time.
