Yahoo Movies The Fate: The Winx Saga on Netflix now has a full trailer
Calling fans of Harry Potter, Gossip Girl and Twilight (AKA all of us here present), there’s a new Netflix show with your name on it set to air this autumn/winter. Fate: The Winx Saga is part-fantasy fiction, part-high-school drama, and we, our blankets and our chai-tea lattes are very much here for it. Here’s what we know so far…
What's Fate: The Winx Saga all about?
It follows the adventures of teenage “fairy warrior” Bloom and her friends as they navigate life at Alfea College, their magical boarding school (Ron Weasley sadly not included). The six-part live-action series, produced by Vampire Diaries’ co-executive producer Brian Young, is inspired by one of the longest-running and most popular franchises on Nickelodeon, Winx Club. Expect witches, fairies and mythical creatures galore.
Who’s in Fate: The Winx Saga?
Abigail Cowen (Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina) stars as Bloom, alongside newcomer Hannah Van Der Westhuyseas as Stella and Precious Mustapha (Endeavour, The Stranger) as Aisha. The OG show, which premiered in 2004, was a major ratings success and featured voiceovers from the likes of Ariana Grande, so here’s hoping for a cameo…
Is there a trailer for Fate: The Winx Saga yet?
Yes! Netflix dropped the full trailer on 19 January (watch it above.)
Executive producer Iginio Straffi called it "edgier and darker than what [fans] can imagine”, which has got us very excited indeed. Jennifer Breslow of Netflix said, "We are extremely proud to bring this iconic set of strong female characters to life,” and called it “a wildly entertaining and addictive genre series”. Sold? Us too.
Do we have a Fate: The Winx Saga release date yet?
Filming began in Ireland last year, and Netflix confirmed in December 2020 that the show will premiere globally on 22 January 2021. Time to clear your viewing schedule for pure Winx-binges (Winges?). See you there.
