The first season of Spy Classroom aired from January 2023 to March 2023 while the second season aired on July 2023 to September 2023. HIDIVE is streaming both.
Yen Press, the English licensor, described the series as:
Following the devastating military conflict, countries around the world fight their wars in the shadows. One unusual spy, Klaus, has never failed on the job despite his quirks and is building a team to take on an Impossible Mission – one with over a 90 percent chance of failure. However, his chosen members are all school washouts with no practical experience. They will have to use every tick in the book (and ones that aren’t), to prove they’re up to the task.
