Here we are! After last year's announcement, we now know when the live-action television series on Winx, will debut on Netflix: Friday 22 January 2021. Filming of Fate: The Winx Saga, the live-action adaptation of the animated saga Winx Club that Netflix is making with Igino Straffi, creator of the popular fairies and CEO of the Rainbow group, kicked off in September last year in Ireland, ending this December. We are therefore about to see the famous fairies born on Rai Due in action.

La series in 6 episodes tells the adventures of five fairies who attend Alfea, the college of magic of Beyond the World. The protagonists must learn to manage their magical powers as they face the love, rivalries and monsters that threaten their existence. The Live-action series resumes, with some free adaptation, the texture of the cartoon seen on TV. The first obvious difference concerns the protagonists, as this series will tell us the story of five girls Bloom, Stella, Terra, Musa and Aisha unlikely friends, who attend Alfea, the magic college of Other World. Here our heroines in flesh and blood will find themselves with the usual problems of adolescents in a school, between rivalries, loves and friendships but will also have to deal with their own powers to learn to govern and with monsters, real and not internal. , which threaten its existence. At the helm of the six episodes that make up the first season of Fate: The Winx Saga we find Brian Young, famous for his work in other teenage cult like The Vampire Diaries and Kyle XY. Young plays the role of showrunner, while Judy Counihan and Kris Thykier of Archery Pictures (Riviera, renewed by Sky for a third season) are executive producers.
Over the course of a few years, the Winx Club brand has become one of the most loved and well-known in the world, and the animated series has also enjoyed great success in the ultra-competitive US television market. We just have to wait for January to find out if the series will reflect the expectations of the fans.
