Spy x Family Code White confirms global release dates alongside English dubbed trailer

Wednesday, February 7, 2024 saw Crunchyroll begin streaming an English dubbed trailer for the Spy x Family Code White anime film,and also announce the movie’s global theatrical premiere dates.

This information comes just one day after Crunchyroll and Sony Pictures announced the release information for the film in North America specifically.

Sony Pictures and Crunchyroll are screening the Spy x Family Code White film in North America starting on Friday, April 19. Screenings will offer both the original Japanese language version with English subtitles, or an English dubbed version of the film.

It's presumed that the remaining global theatrical release dates will offer similar options for viewing the film. The Spy x Family Code White anime film serves as the first film for the television anime franchise, an adaptation of author and illustrator Tatsuya Endo’s original manga series of the same name.

Endo was heavily involved with the film’s production, supervising it and being credited with the original work and original character designs for the film.
