Disney Twisted-Wonderland Animation Savanaclaw Episode Set for Disney+ Debut in December 2026
A new animated chapter of Disney's Twisted-Wonderland franchise focused on the Savanaclaw dorm is scheduled to premiere on Disney+ in December 2026.
Disney+ is preparing to expand its anime-style catalogue with the release of Disney Twisted-Wonderland The Animation: Episode of Savanaclaw, a new animated chapter in the Twisted-Wonderland franchise. The title is scheduled to arrive on the streaming service in December 2026, according to a Japan Wire report distributed by Kyodo News.
What the Savanaclaw Episode Covers
Savanaclaw is one of the dormitory settings within the Twisted-Wonderland universe, inspired by bestial motifs drawn from classic Disney villains. The upcoming episode is positioned as a focused "Episode of" instalment, suggesting it will centre on characters and storylines associated with that house rather than retelling the broader series premise. Promotional materials have emphasised a "unleash the beasts" theme tied to the dorm's identity.
Background of the Franchise
Twisted-Wonderland originated as a mobile game collaboration between Disney and the Japanese studio Aniplex, and has since grown into a multimedia property with manga adaptations and stage plays. The animated expansion is being produced for Disney+, which has increasingly invested in Japanese animation as part of its global content strategy.

Details on the voice cast, episode length and international rollout beyond Japan have not yet been confirmed in the announcement. Key points surrounding the release include:
- Platform: Disney+
- Release window: December 2026
- Format: Animated episode tied to the Savanaclaw storyline
