The series is set to adapt key arcs from the highly successful mobile game. While the first season, “Episode of Heartslabyul,” premiered on Disney+ and Hulu on October 29, 2025, subsequent seasons will delve into other beloved storylines:

This multi-season commitment underscores Disney’s expanding presence in the anime market and its strategy to deliver diverse and compelling narratives to a global audience.
A Look Back at Season One
The first season, “Episode of Heartslabyul,” made its debut on October 29, 2025, across Disney+ and Hulu, kicking off with an eight-episode run. This initial season introduced viewers to Yuken Enma, an anime-exclusive character, who finds himself transported to Night Raven College, a prestigious magical academy. The storyline for the first season was inspired by the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland, setting the stage for the series’ unique take on iconic Disney villains. Early reception indicates the anime has already made a significant impression, ranking among Disney+’s top TV shows shortly after its release.
From Mobile Game to Anime Sensation
Disney Twisted-Wonderland originated as a popular Japanese mobile game, a unique collaboration between Aniplex and Walt Disney Japan. Launched in Japan in March 2020 and later in North America in January 2022, the game quickly captivated players with its distinct concept. It reimagines classic Disney villains as stylish students attending a magical academy, Night Raven College. The character designs, praised for their gothic aesthetic, were crafted by Yana Toboso, the acclaimed creator of Black Butler. The game features a rich narrative across seven chapters and a prologue, exploring the interactions between the protagonist and the various housewardens of Night Raven College. This strong foundation has clearly paved the way for a successful anime adaptation, eagerly anticipated by both gamers and anime enthusiasts.
What to Expect from Future Seasons
While no official release dates for Season 2 or Season 3 have been announced, production information suggests that new episodes could arrive as early as late 2025 or potentially in early 2026, depending on animation schedules. Fans can look forward to deeper mysteries behind Night Raven College and its legendary founders, with returning characters expected to undergo further personal growth and engage in magical rivalries. The anime aims to bring the game’s vibrant world to life with rich animation and compelling story arcs.
Reprising Beloved Roles
A significant detail for fans is the return of the original voice cast from the Twisted-Wonderland game for the anime series. For instance, Chiaki Kobayashi, who voices Deuce Spade in the game, will reprise his role for the anime, ensuring continuity and authenticity for established fans. This commitment to the original talent is a testament to the production team’s dedication to honoring the source material and delivering an experience that resonates with the dedicated fanbase.
