The story
On November 8, 2026, Comic Natalie reported that Season 4 of the TV anime “SPY×FAMILY,” based on the original manga by Tatsuya Endo, will air in 2027, and that a second theatrical film will also be released that same year. Reactions on 5ch were split: some said the wait was “actually pretty fast” compared to the 14-year gap before Minami-ke got its sequel, and noted the previous film had been a hit, grossing over 6.3 billion yen, while others argued the main story has moved too slowly and the series has “passed its peak” — with further worry surfacing after reports that Shueisha and the series’ editor had ended their contract, raising questions about whether future production could be affected.

What people said
That's actually pretty fast. Some sequels take more than 10 years to show up.
Anime studios have their production schedules booked out years in advance.
Apologize to the Minami-ke fans. They had to wait 14 years.
Loid's childhood
The school bus hijacking
That's plenty — TV Tokyo's laughing all the way to the bank.
I like it more than Demon Slayer, personally.
'SPY×FAMILY' and 'Dandadan' editor ends contract with Shueisha. Rethinking the relationship between creators and editors

It pulled in 6.3 billion yen, so it was absolutely a hit.
Since the main story's still ongoing, if the movie can't actually affect it, the plot's going to feel pretty lightweight.
Both One Punch Man and SPY×FAMILY kind of coasted on a single gimmick premise from the start.
Season 3 was just too bad.
To keep the fake family from falling apart, the husband and daughter dote on the wife constantly — that's probably exactly the fantasy that appeals to middle-aged women.
An insanely competent stalker type.
Still better than Detective Conan…
Background and Key Points of This Topic
“SPY×FAMILY” has aired since 2022 and maintained strong popularity, but relative to the manga’s serialization pace, the anime has burned through source material fairly quickly — even by the end of Season 3, episodes were still centered on relatively early story content like Loid’s childhood and the school bus hijacking, and threads often pointed out that “the story isn’t moving forward.” On the other hand, the first film grossed over 6.3 billion yen, so the impression that it “flopped” turns out to be a misconception. Separately, in early November it was reported that the editor handling both “SPY×FAMILY” and “Dandadan” had ended their contract with Shueisha, which stirred concern in the thread about whether this could affect future production of the anime — though the announcement itself made no mention of this, and the relationship between the two remains unclear for now. Feeling “kept waiting” after a long-running series announces a sequel isn’t unusual, and the comparisons to Minami-ke’s 14-year wait are one example of that sentiment.
