Despite not having released an official synopsis for the sequel, the creators of the anime have not provided any information yet. Nevertheless, given that the second season concluded its adaptation at chapter 59 of Tatsuya Endo’s manga series, viewers can anticipate that Spy x Family season 3 will continue the story from chapter 60.

The upcoming anime episodes will most likely continue the storyline of the WISE Arc and then progress to the Friendship Schemes Arc. This arc delves into Yor Forger’s unexpected bond with a new acquaintance and Anya’s efforts to strengthen her friendship with Damian Desmond.

Furthermore, the upcoming season may cover the Red Circus Arc, which spans from episode 69 to 78. There is a possibility for other arcs to be adapted, but it ultimately depends on whether the show will have one or two cours.
