Four months after the end of season 2, the Forgers, a dysfunctional but endearing family, returns to the big screen this Wednesday, April 17 for a brand new adventure!
What is it about ?
Loid is a spy, Yor is a hitwoman. Together, they lead a double life while pretending to be the perfect family. Their adopted daughter, Anya, is telepathic and knows their incredible secret. While he pretends to take his family on a weekend getaway to enjoy the winter, Loid’s efforts to complete his mission are jeopardized when Anya triggers events that threaten world peace.
A comedy accessible to all
Having become a must-have in the genre, SPY x FAMILY is THE spy comedy that appeals to all audiences. Incredible misunderstandings, stunning action scenes and an emotionally charged storyline, this little Japanese gem by Endo Tatsuya quickly climbed into the top 10 best-selling manga the year following its release (Attack on Titan).
With an acclaimed animated adaptation, the arrival of the Forger family in cinema was not a surprise! But if you’re late to the series or if you’re just discovering the existence of this universe, rest assured: you don’t need to know SPY x FAMILY to appreciate its spin-off film called Code: White.

Thanks to a short introductory scene, the feature film takes the time to introduce its characters to the new audience and provide a mini-reminder of the situation to fans of the anime whose second season ended in December 2023 .
Whether you have increased knowledge of the original work or are fully discovering its history, there is no chance of getting lost or feeling shortchanged!
Colorful characters
The Forgers are undoubtedly the great strength of this film! Between a spy father, a hired killer mother, a telepathic daughter and a psychic dog, this strange family never fails to make people laugh.
From school setbacks, to the small “marital” crisis, through the complexities of education against a backdrop of political and military conflict, the wise Loid, the clumsy Yor, the adorable Anya (voted most endearing character at the Anime Awards 2023 from Crunchyroll) and the energetic Bond welcome you on their journey full of twists and turns and full of kindness.

Anya, Bond and Yor Forger
This film is also an opportunity to meet the characters of Yuri, Yor’s little brother, of Damian, Anya’s rival, but above all to learn more about the romantic and impassive Nocturna, Loid’s colleague. A team of somewhat simple and naive villains completes the cast of this story and gives rise to all kinds of new and improbable situations.
A feast for the eyes
Need another reason to check out Code: White in theaters? The beauty of its animation. With a return from the Wit Studio/CloverWorks collaboration, the film offers a graphic style recognizable among thousands, coupled with great dynamism and magnificent colors.
With its pitch set in the heart of winter, snowy landscapes and Christmas garlands dazzle the settings of this spin-off whose Japanese release dates back to last winter.
