Season 2 of Spy x Family featured only 12 episodes, which could be the reason behind the apprehension of the fans. Understandably, it would be better to stretch the series into 24 episodes so there’s more time to indulge in the anime. Having said that, the next season could be the best yet because it will probably be adapting the thrilling Red Circus Arc.
