The streaming service Disney+ has announced the start date for the second season of the animated series "Disney Twisted-Wonderland: The Animation." The new season, titled "Episode of Savanaclaw," will be available exclusively on Disney+ starting December 2026. At the same time, a teaser visual was released showing the three main characters of the Savanaclaw dormitory: Leona Kingscholar, Ruggie Bucchi, and Jack Howl.
The image shows Leona relaxing on a throne while a mysterious green light source behind him illuminates the stone walls. Ruggie looks to the side with a sly smile, while Jack stands ready with a sharp gaze. The slogan "The villainy begins" and the golden magic spirals swirling through the air hint at the upcoming conflicts. In the background, the shadow of a king of beasts can be seen, referencing the dormitory's connection to the Disney film "The Lion King."
The announcement was made on July 27, Leona Kingscholar's birthday. On this occasion, the three voice actors of the Savanaclaw residents shared their thoughts. Yuichiro Umehara, who voices Leona, said: "Since this time the Savanaclaw dormitory is in focus, I had many scenes and thoroughly enjoyed the recordings. The dialogues create intense drama, and I myself am looking forward to the final result. I think both newcomers and long-time fans will get their money's worth."
Taito Ban, the voice actor for Jack Howl, emphasized: "Finally! The series is starting to move! Six years have passed since the game's release, and I am overjoyed to now see the story of Savanaclaw as an animation. Of course, one should follow the characters' adventures, but Savanaclaw also stands for Magift – the thrilling Magift scenes are not to be missed!"
Aoi Ichikawa, who voices Ruggie Bucchi, was deeply moved: "It is very touching to see a character I have accompanied for more than half of my voice acting career in motion again. I want to thank all the fans who love 'Twisted-Wonderland.' The elegant way Ruggie moves is truly great. Look forward to the start!"
The animated series is based on the mobile game of the same name, created and designed by Yana Toboso ("Black Butler"). The story takes place at the Night Ravens College of Magic, whose seven dormitories are each inspired by famous Disney villains. The first season, "Episode of Heartslabyul," started in October 2025 and was, according to Disney+, the most-watched Japanese animated series on the platform within the first seven days of release. It was also nominated at the Crunchyroll Anime Awards 2026 in the category "Best Isekai Anime."
It had already been confirmed in advance that the series will consist of three seasons. After the Savanaclaw season, a third season titled "Episode of Octavinelle" is planned, focusing on the dormitory based on "The Little Mermaid."
Additional production details: Overall direction and series composition are handled by Takahiro Natori, with direction by Shin Katagai. The script is written by Yoichi Kato, character designs are by Akane Sato and Haruka Nakano, and animation is handled by the studios Yumeta Company and Graphinica.
