Spy x Family hit the ground floor running when it premiered earlier this year, quickly in the running to be considered the biggest anime adaptation premiering in 2022. With the series picking up steam, it should come as no surprise that it would eventually receive a stage play in Japan, though the franchise will also be hitting the stage with a new musical. Now, the live-action actors bringing Loid and Yor have been confirmed, along with several other key players.

In a number of Japanese anime adaptations that take place on the stage, two actors will be cast for one role to help tell the story of whichever franchise will be brought to life.

On the flip side, Yor The Thorn Princess was announced to be portrayed by Fuka Yuzuki and Mirei Sasaki, with the Official Twitter Account also revealing the news alongside the revelation regarding Loid:

In recent anime musical news, an unexpected franchise was confirmed to also be coming to the stage as Attack on Titan will also be receiving a musical, with the story of the Scout Regiment being far darker than what we’ve seen emerge from the Forgers.
The anime adaptation might be returning shortly, but you still have time to catch up on the story of the unique family unit that is the Forger Family, with Crunchyroll releasing an official description of the series that reads as such:
“Master spy Twilight is unparalleled when it comes to going undercover on dangerous missions for the betterment of the world. But when he receives the ultimate assignment-to get married and have a kid-he may finally be in over his head! Not one to depend on others, Twilight has his work cut out for him procuring both a wife and a child for his mission to infiltrate an elite private school. What he doesn’t know is that the wife he’s chosen is an assassin and the child he’s adopted is a telepath!”
