Disney has announced that the second season of the Twisted Wonderland anime adaptation will stream exclusively on Disney Plus this December, focusing on the Lion King-inspired Savanaclaw dorm.
Disney is bringing its hit mobile game Twisted Wonderland back to screens this December, with the anime adaptation exclusively heading to Disney Plus. Following a successful first season, the upcoming episodes shift focus to the Savanaclaw dorm, which draws heavy inspiration from Scar and The Lion King. For players and anime fans alike, that means a fresh batch of character designs and plenty of feline-inspired aesthetics to unpack when the new season drops.
For those who missed the phenomenon on mobile, Twisted Wonderland is a gacha game set inside Night Raven College, a prestigious academy where student dorms are styled after iconic Disney villains. Black Butler creator Yana Toboso designed the game's striking roster and wrote its script, blending classic villain lore with contemporary anime tropes. The narrative kicks off through a classic isekai premise, dropping a normal teenager named Yuuken Enma into the academy through a magic mirror while he searches for a way back home.
The franchise has quietly become a massive commercial juggernaut since its 2020 debut, pulling in over $715 million and racking up more than six million downloads worldwide. With animation studios Yumeta Company and Graphinica returning alongside director Takahiro Natori, the second chapter of this sprawling transmedia project is positioned to keep its dedicated community engaged across mobile and streaming platforms.
