Disney’s Twisted Wonderland Anime Announces 3 Season Run Ahead of Premiere

As a seasoned gamer and anime enthusiast with over two decades of experience under my belt, I must say that the announcement of Disney’s Twisted Wonderland has sent a wave of excitement coursing through me. Having grown up on classic Disney films, it’s fascinating to see these iconic villains get a fresh take in this unique universe, especially when they’re being handled by studios like Yumeta Company and Graphinica, who have proven their mettle with projects such as Record of Ragnarok II, Cannon Busters, and Tokyo Mew Mew.


Similar to numerous studios and streaming services within the entertainment sector, Disney has noticed the surge in popularity of anime over time and is not indifferent to this trend. In response, Hulu and Disney+ have secured exclusive anime content and even begun developing original anime projects. With the intention of further immersing themselves in the medium, Disney is planning a fresh venture with their upcoming project, Disney’s Twisted Wonderland. Initially conceived as a mobile game, the series will receive a reboot next year, promising not only the premiere of the first season but also assuring fans that three seasons are on the way.

You might be curious about what Twisted Wonderland is, and I’m more than happy to share! This exciting franchise initially started as a mobile game, born from a collaboration between Disney and Aniplex, creating an entirely new world. The characters, aesthetics, and narrative were masterfully crafted by Yana Toboso, the talented mangaka behind Black Butler. She breathed fresh life into some beloved Disney villains, giving them a wicked twist!

The Wonderland is Certainly Twisted

Disney has officially confirmed three seasons and revealed the storylines for these upcoming arcs. The stories will draw inspiration from the original mobile game’s plot, featuring “Episode of Heartslabyul,” “Episode of Savanaclaw,” and “Episode of Octavinelle.” For those who may not be familiar, Yumeta Company and Graphinica are the anime studios that will collaborate with Disney to create this new universe. They have worked on projects like “Record of Ragnarok II,” “Cannon Busters,” and “Tokyo Mew Mew” among others. The series is expected to debut in October of the next year.

As a gamer, I’m excited to share that the project visual and broadcast schedule for “Disney’s Twisted-Wonderland” has been announced! The character designs of the seven dorm leaders from the mirror world are now unveiled. Moreover, production for seasons 1 to 3 has already been decided! Season 1 titled “Episodes of Hearts Ravine” is set to air in October 2025. Can’t wait!

Disney’s Anime Adventures

It’s widely recognized that the most prominent anime series featuring Disney characters currently is “Star Wars: Visions“. This anthology series collaborates with various animation studios, both anime and otherwise, to craft fresh stories within the realms of the Jedi and the Sith. Despite no confirmed release date for the third season, several notable anime studios have already been announced for future episodes. Regrettably, there have been no announcements regarding anime adaptations for Marvel’s superheroes or any characters from Disney’s previous animated features. Given the growing popularity of anime in recent times, it seems logical that Disney would seek new paths to delve into this medium.

If you’re keen on keeping up with the tale of Twisted Wonderland but don’t own the mobile game, here’s some exciting news for you! This mobile game was adapted into a manga, and even more thrilling is that each of the three narratives within the game have been expanded into separate anime series, all thanks to Square Enix. As we speak, new chapters of these arcs are still being released, so if you’d like to get ahead of Twisted Wonderland before October next year, diving into these manga stories could be your ticket!
