Get Ready for Disney’s Twisted-Wonderland Anime: First Look at Season 1!

Disney’s Twisted-Wonderland is going to be making its full anime adaptation debut later this year, and Disney has dropped the first look at Season 1 with a new promo teasing its characters. Disney’s Twisted-Wonderland The Animation is a brand new anime project taking on the mobile game of the same name from Aniplex and Disney, and even features character designs from Black Butler series creator Yana Toboso. It showcases new takes on Disney’s huge catalog of villains, and has been a huge hit in Japan for the past half a decade. But soon many more fans will get to see why that has been the case.

The animated series “Disney’s Twisted-Wonderland” is set to premiere in Japan this Fall, focusing on adapting different arcs from the manga adaptations of the mobile game. The first season will start with the “Episode of Heartslabyul” arc. To mark the upcoming anime, a special new poster has been released, featuring the mysterious trio at the heart of the debut arc, which you can see below.

What to Know for Disney’s Twisted-Wonderland Anime

The Disney animated series “Twisted-Wonderland” is set to premiere sometime in October 2025 in Japan, though a specific release date has not yet been confirmed. It will initially stream exclusively on Disney+ in Japan, and it’s likely that it will eventually become available on Hulu in the United States as well. This upcoming anime has generated a lot of excitement due to the recent announcement that three seasons have already been planned. The first season will adapt the “Episode of Heartslabyul” arc, and the other two arcs have also been revealed.

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.

What Is Disney’s Twisted-Wonderland?

Disney’s Twisted-Wonderland The Animation is based on the original mobile game that offers new takes on Disney villains as they attend a mysterious academy. This new anime will be directed by Takahiro Natori and Shin Katagai for Yumeta Company and Graphinica. Yoichi Kato will be writing the scripts, Hanaka Nakano and Akane Sato will be handling the character designs, and Black Butler series creator Yana Toboso is credited with the original game’s designs and concept.
