Season 3 premiere (aired)
Saturday, October 4, 2025
Season 3 already finished — Fall 2025, not an October 2026 countdown
If you are still waiting on a 2026 “Spy × Family Season 3” stamp, the calendar is wrong. Season 3 premiered October 4, 2025 and closed December 27, 2025 after 13 missions. The Forgers’ latest cour already shipped.
October 18, 2026 placeholders are tracker rot — not a soft reboot
October 18 appears in Season 3’s 2025 episode guide (Mission nights), which some scrapers bumped a year forward. Official answer: October 4 start, December 27 finale, Wit × CloverWorks. Keeping a future countdown on this slug misleads people hunting Season 4 news.
How the Spy × Family TV seasons actually lined up
- Season 1 — Spring + Fall 2022 (split cours).
- Season 2 — Fall 2023 (12 episodes).
- Season 3 announced — Jun 2024; Fall 2025 window locked Aug 2025.
- Season 3 — Oct 4–Dec 27, 2025 (13 episodes; this page).
- Season 4 — not dated here.
Imai’s first full season chair is the craft story — the air dates are already history
Season 3’s real news was Yukiko Imai stepping up at Wit × CloverWorks with Spitz and Lilas Ikuta on the themes. That cour is in the can. Bookmark December 27, 2025 as the finale; move any “when does Season 3 start” reminder off 2026 so search stops rewarding a phantom premiere.
