The news comes from Tadashi Sudo as the writer was able to speak with the president of TV Tokyo. It was there the journalist said the exec was thrilled with Spy x Family as its episodes continue to pull in record ratings.

What Is Spy x Family Doing?

According to the president, Spy x Family season one is the “best among all programs on all stations for the July 2022 season.” This timeframe covers through October 2nd as Spy x Family had come back to television before then. And while its live ratings from cable might be 1.8%, the amount of people who record or stream Spy x Family to watch later is staggeringly higher.

How much higher? Well, the president suggests it is at least four times higher. As for season one and its midseason premiere, the show pulled in record ratings with its comeback. Spy x Family had a massive 6% rating when season one returned even though its live audience score was 3.6%. So if anything, Spy x Family may want to shift its time slot around to accommodate audiences who are having to record episodes.
