In the meantime, Brynn Apprill, the voice actor known for her role in Attack on Titan, will be stepping in to voice Anya. Apprill has previously lent her voice to characters such as Historia Reiss in Attack on Titan, Mimosa Vermillion in Black Clover, and Yotsuba Nakano in The Quintessential Quintuplets.

Fortunately, for fans of the series, the switch is only temporary as Megan Shipman will soon be returning back to work.

However, there were some fans who were uncertain whether she would voice Anya for the entire second season or only a portion of it. As mentioned earlier, the casting announcement specified that it was only temporary, thus implying that Megan Shipman would make a comeback soon.

Editor's P/S

As a passionate fan of both Attack on Titan and Spy x Family, I am thrilled to hear that Bryn Apprill will be joining the English voice cast of Spy x Family as Anya Forger. Apprill is an incredibly talented voice actor, and I have no doubt that she will bring her own unique flair to the character. I am also excited to see how she will interact with the rest of the cast, particularly Loid and Yor.

I am also very grateful to Megan Shipman for her hard work and dedication to the role of Anya. She has done an amazing job, and I wish her all the best during her maternity leave. I am confident that she will return to the role of Anya in the future, and I look forward to hearing her voice again.
