Spy x Family may be on a break right now, but it will not be long before the series returns. If you have been keeping up with the industry, you will know this anime is at the top of the leaderboards for 2022, and all eyes are on its next cour. And given some new data, fans have learned Spy x Family held up very well with its ratings overseas.
The team at Video Research Ltd. pulled all of the data together from homes in Japan. It turns out Spy x Family was the most-watched anime and overall television show in Japan with streaming and VOD services. Spy x Family nabbed this accolade in June, and it is not the first time the series has been honored with its ratings. The show was the most-watched in Japan on streaming beginning in April and kept up the success for three months straight.

On average, the show raked in 7.5 million viewers, and a little more than five million households tuned in weekly for episode 1-12.
