In addition, the Crunchyroll platform confirmed the production of a English dub for this new season of “SPY x FAMILY”, great news for those who enjoyed watching the series in our language.
In the bustling heart of Berlint, located in Ostania, the exciting plot of “SPY x FAMILY” unfolds. In this universe, politics and war intersect in a subtle balance between the neighboring nations of Ostania and Westalis. Peace, always fragile, is constantly threatened by fervent nationalists, corrupt politicians and other actors in the conflict. A renowned spy and master of camouflage known as “Twilight” emerges, whose mission is to carry out risky covert operations in order to shield the children from the horrors of war.
Under the identity of “Loid Forger”, a respected psychiatrist in the city of Berlint, Twilight has a covert mission: to obtain information about Donovan Desmond, an influential politician who is rarely seen in public. To accomplish this, she recruits Yor Briar, a lonely city hall official, to pose as his wife, and adopts Anya, a curious six-year-old orphan, as her daughter. Thus, his strategy involves enrolling Anya in the prestigious Eden Academy and, hopefully, approaching Desmond without arousing suspicion.
However, family life proves challenging even for someone as skilled as Loid. Both Yor and Anya keep secrets of their own: Yor is a shadowy assassin known as the “Thorn Princess,” while Anya possesses abilities like Esper, allowing her to read people’s minds. Despite the lies that underpin their apparent family harmony, the Forgers discover that their love for each other can overcome any obstacle.
“SPY x FAMILY” immerses us in a captivating world of intrigue, action and complex relationships as the characters struggle to keep their true identities hidden and protect each other amidst an ever-changing political plot. As the Forger family faces unexpected challenges, we will discover the power of the family bond and the surprising connections that can emerge in times of adversity.
