Fans of Disney's magical mobile phenomenon are in for a treat as the anime adaptation, Disney Twisted-Wonderland: The Animation, gears up for its next chapter. During the Disney APAC Showcase held at Disneyland Hong Kong, a special promotional video was unveiled, confirming that production on the second season is officially underway. This announcement not only builds anticipation for the upcoming episodes but also reveals that the series has been greenlit through its third season, promising a comprehensive adaptation of the game's intricate storyline.
The event, part of the broader "Disney+ Original Preview 2025," highlighted several upcoming projects, with Twisted Wonderland stealing the spotlight through its blend of Disney villain-inspired characters and high-stakes magical intrigue. The special video, now streaming on the official Disney+ YouTube channel, opens with the iconic line, "Life's not fair, is it?" before transporting viewers to the rugged Savanaclaw dorm – a key setting for the second season. This teaser clip masterfully hints at the escalating tensions and overblot mysteries that await, showcasing the beastly charisma of the dorm's residents and the protagonist's deepening entanglements in the school's cutthroat environment.
Titled Episode of Savanaclaw, the second season will delve into the lion's den of Night Raven College's sports-centric house, led by the cunning Leona Kingscholar. Building directly on the events of the first season, Episode of Heartslabyul, it promises to explore themes of pride, rivalry, and hidden ambitions among the students. Production is being handled by the same powerhouse team that brought the inaugural season to life: Yumeta Company and Graphinica, under chief director and series script supervisor Takahiro Natori, with Shin Katagai at the helm as director. Yoichi Kato returns as the main writer, ensuring narrative fidelity to Aniplex's original mobile game, while character designers Hanaka Nakano and Akane Satō will continue to capture the game's distinctive art style in motion.
Musical duties remain in the capable hands of Takumi Ozawa, the composer behind the game's soundtrack, who will infuse the anime with the same hauntingly enchanting melodies. The opening theme for the series, "Piece of my world," performed by the group "Night Ravens," set a high bar in season one and is expected to evolve with fresh arrangements for the new arc.
Voice cast announcements for season two build on the established ensemble, with Yōhei Azakami reprising his role as the ever-adaptable protagonist Yūken Enma – the enigmatic newcomer thrust into this world of wayward wizards. Returning talents from the game's localization will lend their voices to familiar faces like Riddle Rosehearts and Trey Clover, while season one newcomers Kenyū Horiuchi (as the enigmatic Dark Mirror) and Kento Hama (as the mischievous Che'nya) are set to appear in pivotal moments. Additional cast details for Savanaclaw's roster, including Leona's gravelly baritone, are anticipated in future updates.
The first season, Episode of Heartslabyul, wrapped up its eight-episode run exclusively on Disney+ starting October 29, 2025, with an English-dubbed version simultaneously launching on both Disney+ and Hulu. Critically praised for its faithful recreation of the game's episodic structure and vibrant animation, the series has already positioned itself as a standout in Disney's expanding anime portfolio. Season two is slated for a 2026 premiere on Disney+, with new episodes dropping every Wednesday, allowing viewers to immerse themselves weekly in the school's dysfunctional dynamics. Looking further ahead, the third season, Episode of Octavinelle, is also confirmed to be in production, teasing the underwater intrigues and contractual cunning of the school's most mercantile dorm.
As production ramps up, whispers from the event suggest that the adaptation will maintain its bite-sized yet binge-worthy format, with each season aligning to one of the game's major story arcs. This multi-season commitment underscores Disney and Aniplex's confidence in the property's global appeal, blending nostalgic villain tropes with modern otome elements.
What is Disney Twisted-Wonderland about?
Here's the official description of Disney Twisted-Wonderland from the official English website of the game:

With nowhere else to go, you accept the masked headmage's hospitality and begin searching for a way home.
