Story and Background

Set in the 32nd century, the Trigun franchise follows Vash the Stampede, a man with a massive bounty on his head due to his alleged involvement in countless deaths. Despite his reputation as a dangerous criminal, Vash is revealed to be a pacifist who avoids violence whenever possible. The mystery behind the bounty and Vash’s true nature forms the foundation of the story.
The original Trigun manga, created by Yasuhiro Nightow, was serialized from 1995 to 2007 in Tokuma Shoten and Shōnen Gahōsha magazines. The story gained significant recognition with the 1998 Trigun anime adaptation by Madhouse, which became a cult classic. The franchise experienced a resurgence in popularity with Trigun Stampede, which Studio Orange released in 2023.
Trigun Stampede modernized the series’ storytelling and visual style with CGI animation, introducing new elements while preserving the heart of the original work. Given Studio Orange’s return, Trigun Stargaze is expected to continue this approach, blending updated animation techniques with the series’ established themes.
The beloved anime Spy x Family is officially returning for a third season in October 2025, as confirmed by a newly released promotional poster featuring Loid, Yor, Anya, and Bond Forger. The announcement has stirred excitement among fans, as the series remains one of the most popular anime adaptations in recent years.
The key visual teases a mix of heartwarming family moments and intense action, setting high expectations for the upcoming season. As the Forger family navigates the dangerous world of espionage while trying to maintain their domestic cover, the new season promises to deliver more of the action, comedy, and emotional depth that have defined the series.
Release and Production Details
Spy x Family season 3 is set to begin airing in October 2025. While no official trailer has been released yet, the new promotional image gives a glimpse of the Forgers, suggesting that the series will retain its signature balance of lighthearted family dynamics and high-stakes espionage.
Since its debut, Spy x Family has been a massive hit, combining action, comedy, and heartfelt family moments. The series follows Loid Forger, a spy operating under the alias “Twilight,” as he creates a fake family for the sake of his mission, Operation Strix. His “wife,” Yor, is a deadly assassin, while their adopted daughter, Anya, is a telepath who secretly knows about her parents’ double lives. The addition of Bond, their precognitive dog, further complicates their carefully constructed facade.
The new season follows the success of Spy x Family season 2 and the franchise’s first feature film, Spy x Family Code: White. The production team has not yet revealed further details regarding the staff or any new cast members.
What to Expect from Season 3

While plot specifics remain undisclosed, Spy x Family season 3 is expected to adapt some of the most intense storylines from Tatsuya Endo’s manga. Season 2 wrapped up several key arcs, but the political tensions between Westalis and Ostania remain unresolved. This means that Operation Strix—and Loid’s mission to prevent war between the two nations—will likely face new threats and complications.
The upcoming season is also expected to delve deeper into the evolving dynamics between Loid, Yor, and Anya. As Loid and Yor grow closer despite their hidden identities, their unspoken bond may reach new levels of emotional depth. Anya’s role is likely to expand as well, with her telepathic abilities offering both comedic relief and strategic importance in her father’s mission.

Bond’s precognitive powers may also play a bigger role in the next season. His antics have already led to some of the most memorable comedic moments, but his ability to sense danger could become a critical tool for the Forgers.
With Spy x Family consistently delivering a perfect mix of action and heart, season 3 is set to continue the franchise’s successful run. The confirmation of an October 2025 release ensures that fans won’t have to wait too long to reunite with the Forger family.
Spy × Family follows master spy Loid Forger (code-named Twilight), who must build a “fake family” to carry out Operation Strix, his mission to get close to a political target. He adopts telepathic child Anya, marries assassin Yor, and even acquires a precognitive dog Bond, all while none of them know each other’s secrets.
