After three years of radio silence, we finally have some news on what’s going on with the anime adaptation of Twisted Wonderland. We now have a key visual for it, along with the news that it’ll start streaming on Disney+ in October 2025. [Thanks, Dengeki Online!]
The key visual shows the seven dorm leaders in the order that they become important in the story. Riddle is the closest, since the game starts with the Heartslabyul chapter, and Malleus is the furthest, as Diasomnia was the final dorm to have a main story about it. Disney confirmed three seasons so far, and the name of the first season is “Episode of Heartslabyul.” Each season will be a different chapter of the main story, meaning we’ll also see the Savanaclaw and Octavinelle chapters. According to the press release, the anime will include scenes and details from the manga adaptation as well.
Twisted Wonderland is a visual novel that takes place in a magical school, with seven dormitories drawing inspiration from major Disney villains. All of the characters who attend the school are also either based on characters or motifs from various Disney movies. The player is a normal person who finds themself in this magical world. Along with the mysterious creature Grim, they have wild misadventures with everyone while searching for a way home. Some people may misunderstand Twisted Wonderland as a dating sim, but it is not.
The Twisted Wonderland anime will start airing on Disney+ in October 2025. More details on it, such as trailers, will appear closer to that release window.
