Mission: Yozakura Family is coming back October 11, and the show's official site marked the countdown by revealing the cast behind its five Gold-Rank Spies, the franchise's highest-ranked operatives, alongside a new character PV built around them.
The announcement covers the second cour of the anime's second season, confirmed for an October 11 premiere on MBS and TBS, with the broadcast expanding to BS Nippon Television and AT-X on October 21. The official site also confirmed the opening theme comes from Hamブレッダーズ (Ham Breeders) and the ending theme from KID PHENOMENON, giving both the returning cast and the music package in place well ahead of the actual premiere.
Why Gold-Rank matters to this story
Mission: Yozakura Family runs on a ranking system for its spy characters, and Gold-Rank sits near the top of it. Introducing five of them together, backed by their own character PV rather than a single teaser image, signals that this cour is building toward the kind of higher-stakes spy-family conflict the earlier episodes have been setting up rather than treading water on lower-stakes side missions.
The show has kept a tight release cadence since Season 2 began, and this is the second time this year the official site has used a dedicated cast and PV drop to mark a cour transition rather than folding the news into a general update. That's a heavier promotional push than the first cour got, which tracks with a franchise that's been building steadily rather than launching cold.
What's confirmed and what isn't yet
The official site has not published the individual character-to-actor pairings for the five Gold-Rank Spies in the material available so far, only that all five were revealed together in the new PV. Streaming platforms and international release timing for this cour also haven't been confirmed yet. Both are worth checking closer to the October 11 broadcast date, since the show's earlier cours have picked up international simulcast slots shortly after their Japanese premieres.
