Final thoughts

Spy X Family is arguably one of the most successful shows of spring 2022, and fans have been eagerly waiting for part 2. Part 1 consisted of 12 episodes, and it covered the first 17 chapters of the manga, with episode 12 being an anime original. Part 2 is slated to consist of 13 episodes, and will likely cover chapters 18 – 35, depicting the introduction of Bond and Fiona.

The first half of Spy X Family part 2 will deal with the Forgers finding a large white dog called Bond, and the assorted shenanigans that come with any typical rescue. The latter half will showcase Twilight’s relationship with his fellow WISE agent Fiona Frost, codenamed Nightfall, when the two embark on a hilarious mission outside of operation Strix.

Cloverworks and Wit Studio will continue to jointly handle the animation and Kazuhiro Furuhashi will be directing Spy X Family part 2. No details about the theme songs have been disclosed yet.
