‘Miraculous Ladybug’ Sets “Dislove” for November 20, With Alya’s Sister at the Center

“Dislove” puts a family connection at the heart of the next ‘Miraculous Ladybug’ episode. Listed for November 20, the third chapter of the new run turns Alya’s big sister Nora into the threat Ladybug and Cat Noir must face. That premise gives the episode a direct link to Alya, whose friendship with Marinette already carries unusual weight in the series.

For U.S. viewers, the listed plan is a Disney Channel debut on November 20, followed by streaming on Disney+ the next day. The precise broadcast hour hasn’t been published in the sources available, so local listings are the best place to check as the date approaches. International schedules vary, and the rollout has already started in some markets.

Where “Dislove” Fits in the Season

Six episode titles have been named so far: “Replay Value,” “Chrysalis,” “Dislove,” “Manageman,” “Marinette Dupain-Cheng” and “Glaciator.” Streaming guide listings group the first two as a two-part story called The Right Time. That places “Dislove” as the first standalone installment in the announced sequence, after an opening pair that establishes the season’s initial movement.

Rotten Tomatoes lists “Dislove” for November 20, the same date reported for the season’s arrival on Disney Channel in the United States. The episode therefore appears to land within the opening stretch rather than after a lengthy break. Its position also makes it an early indication of how the season will alternate between larger ongoing tensions and individual character-focused conflicts.

The path to this date has involved several revisions. Earlier reports pointed to a 2025 premiere, followed by estimates in 2026 and then the fall. November 20 was reported in July and later appeared in Disney Channel’s October schedule. With previous estimates shifting, viewers may still want to check listings near the premiere, but the current date has clearer support than the earlier projections.

Viewing Details and International Rollout

Disney Channel and Disney+ are the U.S. viewing options named for the season. The streaming release is listed for November 21, one day after the television debut. The available information doesn’t establish whether Disney+ will release episodes weekly or make several available together after a television premiere. That distinction will determine how quickly streaming viewers can follow the opening sequence, so the platform’s listing closer to launch will be useful.

The international rollout is spread across broadcasters and dates. Miraculous Corp, the joint venture between Mediawan and ZAG, began launching the season in major international markets from October 30. Disney Channel regions including Iberia, Benelux, Scandinavia, the Balkans, the Mediterranean and MENA are listed to begin on November 14. Disney Channel CEE plans to show its first eight episodes on weekdays from November 23.

TFOU in France and Gloob in Brazil are also named among the season’s broadcasters, alongside Disney Channel and Disney+. The timing may differ by territory, so the U.S. date won’t necessarily mark the first opportunity to watch the new episodes everywhere. The season’s streaming listing gives each episode a running time of about 22 minutes.

Some of the detailed scheduling has been assembled from reports and fan-maintained listings, and the sources caution that dates can change. No precise U.S. airtime is provided for “Dislove.” For viewers planning around the release, the date and the local broadcaster’s current schedule are more useful than assuming the episode will air at a particular hour.

Nora’s Transformation Raises the Personal Stakes

The episode synopsis introduces Nora as its central threat. Alya’s big sister is akumatized into Anansi, described as a giant spider woman who wants to show Alya how dangerous Paris can be. The description says Ladybug and Cat Noir can’t be “flyweights” if they hope to stop her, a playful phrase that ties their challenge to Anansi’s spider form.

Putting Alya’s family in danger gives the conflict a personal route into the series’ wider friendships. Alya is more than a classmate in Marinette’s life: she knows Marinette’s secret. That connection makes a threat involving her sister especially resonant, even without revealing how the encounter ends. The setup leaves room for action while keeping the emotional pressure close to the characters.

Thomas Astruc directs “Dislove.” The listed writers are Nicky Baker, Cindy Morrow, Sébastien Thibaudeau, Frédéric Engel-Lenoir, Mélanie Duval, Pierre Doublier and Caroline Torelli. Scott Dyer and Michael Hirsh are named as executive producers. Disney Channel lists the series as TV-Y7. Together, those credits identify the episode’s creative team and place it within the ongoing production.

A Family Threat Within the Larger Story

The season synopsis describes a personal upheaval for Marinette, who finds new allies she can speak to openly while discovering that some people around her aren’t who they appear to be. The trailer adds a specific source of unease: Lila, now known as Cerise, turns her attention to Marinette’s loved ones. She can shapeshift into anyone in Paris and aims to force Ladybug’s identity into the open.

That wider thread gives “Dislove” an extra layer beyond its monster-of-the-week premise. Nora’s transformation brings immediate danger to Alya, while Cerise’s changing appearance raises questions about trust among the people closest to Marinette. The contrast could make even familiar relationships feel less secure as the season develops.

For returning viewers, “Dislove” looks like an early test of how the season’s personal stakes connect to its continuing mystery. For newer viewers, the episode’s central setup is clear: a sister becomes a danger to her own family, and two heroes have to stop her. The November 20 listing offers the next chance to see how Alya’s place in Marinette’s life shapes that conflict.
