Featuring a unique take on famous antagonists from classic Disney films, the show will take viewers to a magical world where villain-inspired students rule elite academies. Now, with a fresh key visual revealed, excitement is building as fans get a glimpse of what is to come.
Set to debut on Disney+ in October 2025, Disney Twisted-Wonderland is confirmed for three full seasons, ensuring a deep dive into its well-created universe. Season 1, titled Episode of Heartslabyul, will introduce audiences to the first dorm inspired by Alice in Wonderland’s Queen of Hearts.

Unlike traditional Disney stories, Twisted-Wonderland re-imagines villains as stylish, charismatic students in a school setting. Heartslabyul, the first featured dorm, is led by Riddle Rosehearts, a strict but elegant character inspired by the Queen of Hearts. The dorm enforces rigid "rules of roses," reflecting its Alice in Wonderland roots. This setup is a really amazing and fresh perspective on Disney’s classic antagonists, transforming them into complex figures rather than one-note villains.
