Spy Classroom is making its debut on A-TX on January 5, 2023, at 10:30 pm JST and later on other broadcasting channels, such as Tokyo MX, BS NTV, KBS Kyoto, Sun TV, and TV Aichi. At Anime NYC 2022, Hidive announced to stream Spy Classroom while announcing its Winter 2023 simulcast series lineup.

"Following a devastating military conflict, countries fight their wars in the shadows. One unusual spy, Klaus, has never failed on the job despite his quirks, and he is building a team to take on an Impossible Mission—one with over a 90 percent chance of failure."

It continues:

"However, his chosen members are all washouts with no practical experience. They'll have to use every trick in the book (and some that aren't) to prove they're up to the task!"

The recently announced main cast of Spy Classroom includes:

• Lily: Sora Amamiya (Aqua in KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World!/Ichinose Chizuru in Rent-a-Girlfriend)
