Spice and Wolf: Merchant Meets the Wise Wolf is an anime television series based on the light novel series Spice and Wolf written by Isuna Hasekura and illustrated by Jū Ayakura. The story follows a 25-year-old traveling merchant named Kraft Lawrence who meets Holo, a female wolf deity of harvest. Holo, bound to a nearby town by an old promise to ensure a good wheat harvest every year, escapes with Lawrence when the townspeople stop believing in her. Lawrence promises to take her north to her homeland, Yoitsu, while she helps him with his business transactions along the way in return.

A new anime adaptation was announced in February 2022, as part of the light novel's 15-year anniversary.[1] It was later confirmed to be a rebooted anime series produced by Passione and directed by Hijiri Sanpei, with Takahashi returning from the previous adaptation as chief director, Kevin Penkin composing the music, and Fukuyama and Koshimizu returning to reprise their roles as Lawrence and Holo respectively.[2] The series premiered on April 2, 2024, on TV Tokyo, TV Osaka, TV Aichi, BS TV Tokyo and AT-X.[3][4][a] The opening theme song is "Tabi no Yukue" (旅のゆくえ, lit. 'Journey's Destination') performed by Hana Hope, while the ending theme song is "Andante" (アンダンテ) performed by ClariS.[5] Crunchyroll has licensed the series outside of Asia.[6] In March 2024, Netflix announced that it would be streaming the series in select Asian regions.[7]
