Just one month after Season 1 of Fate: The Winx Saga was released, Netflix released an announcement video announcing that the series would be returning for a second season.
Adapted from the hit Nickelodeon cartoon Winx Club, the show immediately became one of Netflix’s most popular teen dramas and is produced by Archery Pictures in association with Iginio Straffi’s Rainbow studio.
Over a decade ago, Straffi proposed a live-action adaptation of the series. Fate: The Winx Saga was brought to life by Brian Young, who worked as a producer on The Vampire Diaries.
Even though the basic premise is the same, there are some significant variances because Young transformed an animated series intended for young tweens into a drama more acceptable for older teenagers and young adults.
An animated series starring Molly Quinn and a live-action revival starring Abigail Cowen star Bloom, a young fire fairy. Cowen played Dorcas Night in Sabrina the Teenage Witch. Bloom goes to Alfea College, a wonderful boarding school.
Her fairy pals and non-magic partners (called Specialists) learn how to fight evil forces there. Perhaps the reboot’s popularity is because many of the kids who grew up watching Winx Club in the early 2010s are now at the perfect age to want the nostalgia of some of their favorite characters, but with the added angst of young adult themes.
Whatever the situation may be, we’re eager to see where the program goes from here. Everything we know thus far about Fate: The Winx Saga Season 2 can be found here.
When Is Fate: The Winx Saga Season 2 Filming (And When’s the Release Date)?
Season 2 of Fate: The Winx Saga will be available on Netflix in two hour-long episodes (bringing the season total to eight). With Brian Young as showrunner and producer, production began in July. A humorous behind-the-scenes video heralded the start of filming, which you can see above. Netflix, on the other hand, has yet to give an exact release date for the next new season.
We should expect Fate: The Winx Saga to return in 2022, given that filming began in the summer of 2017. Post-production may take up to eight months, so we warn people not to get their hopes up until later in the year.
