Today, Netflix shared the official trailer and new photos from Fate: The Winx Saga Season 2, which will launch on the streaming service on September 16, 2022. The second season will consist of seven 50-minute episodes.
Fate: The Winx Saga follows the coming-of-age journey of five fairies attending Alfea, a magical boarding school in the Otherworld, where they must learn to master their powers while navigating love, rivalries, and the monsters that threaten their very existence.
In the second season, school is back in session under the militant authority of Alfea’s former Headmistress, Rosalind. With the Burned Ones gone, Dowling “disappeared,” and Silva imprisoned for treason, the Alfea of last year has grown up with new magic, new romances, and new faces.
But when fairies start to go missing in the night, Bloom and her Suitemates discover a dangerous threat lurking in the shadows. One they’ll have to stop before it wreaks havoc on the entire Otherworld.
From creator Brian Young (The Vampire Diaries), Fate: The Winx Saga is a live-action reimagining of the Italian cartoon series Winx Club by Iginio Straffi.
The series stars Abigail Cowen, Hannah Van Der Westhuysen, Precious Mustapha, Eliot Salt, Elisha Applebaum, Paulina Chávez, and Danny Griffin.
The cast also includes Sadie Soverall, Freddie Thorp, Theo Graham, Jacob Dudman, Brandon Grace, Robert James-Collier, Ken Duken, Éanna Hardwicke, and Miranda Richardson.
The executive producers are Judy Counihan and Kris Thykier, and the production company is Archery Pictures.
The first season hit Netflix on January 22, 2021. “The six episodes in season one only scratched the surface of this incredibly rich world and the powerful fairies who inhabit it,” said showrunner Brian Young previously.
“As Bloom’s story continues to evolve, I can’t wait for you to learn even more about Aisha, Stella, Terra, and Musa! And you never know who might show up at Alfea next term…”
“Winx connects with audiences in the live-action adaptation the same way it does in animation. Over the years, we have seen Winx grow into a global phenomenon, and millions of fans have faithfully followed the show,” added Iginio Straffi, creator of Winx Club and Founder and CEO of Rainbow Group.
“Thanks to this loyal support, Fate: The Winx Saga is a massive worldwide success, with a second season underway at Netflix that will continue the story to the delight of fans and viewers everywhere.”
