What to Know for Disney’s Twisted-Wonderland Anime
Disney’s Twisted-Wonderland The Animation is currently scheduled to premiere some time this October in Japan as part of the Fall 2025 anime schedule, but has yet to confirm a release date as of the time of this publication. It will be streaming exclusively with Disney+ in Japan (and will likely come to Hulu in the United States when it hits). This anime is going to make a huge debut too as this new project has already announced that there are three seasons now in the works. The first season will be taking on this “Episode of Heartslabyul” arc, and the other two arcs have been announced as well.
Disney’s Twisted-Wonderland The Animation will then feature “Episode of Savanaclaw” in Season 2, and then follow it up with “Episode of Octavinelle” in Season 3. The anime has been one of the many franchises announced to be holding a special presentation during the upcoming March 21-22 AnimeJapan 2025 weekend, so there will likely be more information revealed about what to expect from this debut season of the anime. But with the original games offering new takes on Disney’s classic roster, hopefully there will be some recognizable faces.
