Disney Twisted-Wonderland The Animation: Episode of Savanaclaw will premiere on December 23, 2026. This second season follows the mobile game's second major story arc and introduces a new protagonist to the Night Raven College setting, a high school for mages inspired by iconic Disney villains.
The announcement of the December premiere date was accompanied by a new key visual released on October 29, 2026. This visual showcases the Savanaclaw dorm leader, Leona Kingscholar, alongside the new female lead, Yuuka Hirasaka, marking a shift from the first season's protagonist.
What We Know
The second season will consist of eight episodes. The series is scheduled to release weekly on Wednesdays, beginning with the December 23 premiere. The production is a collaboration between animation studios Yumeta Company and Graphinica, with Takahiro Natori serving as the chief director and series composition lead. Shin Katagai is directing the season, while Yoichi Kato handles the main scripts.
The character designs are being adapted by Hanaka Nakano and Akane Sato from the original designs created by Yana Toboso. The cast features Fairouz Ai as the new protagonist Yuuka Hirasaka, a judo expert who replaces Yuken Enma from the first season. Yuichiro Umehara returns as Leona Kingscholar, joined by Taito Ban as Jack Howl and Aoi Ichikawa as Ruggie Bucchi. Noriaki Sugiyama also returns to voice the familiar character Grim.
Why It Matters
This season adapts the Episode of Savanaclaw, the second major story book from the Twisted-Wonderland mobile game. This specific arc is themed after Disney's The Lion King, focusing on the Savanaclaw dormitory and its inhabitants. The transition to a new protagonist, Yuuka Hirasaka, marks a significant change in the anime's narrative structure compared to the Heartslabyul arc shown in the first season.
The project is the second part of a three-season plan for the franchise. The first season aired in late 2025, and a third season, titled Episode of Octavinelle, has already been greenlit for production. This structured release highlights the continued commitment to adapting the game's core narrative for the screen.
