Here’s how Netflix describes the new series:
“The six part series 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. 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.”
“We are very pleased that our successful collaboration with Netflix continues with ever more ambitious projects,” original Winx Club creator Iginio Straffi said in December, when the release date was first announced. “Netflix’s young adult series have touched a chord with audiences around the world and we are looking forward to seeing the Winx fairies in this new exciting live action adaptation.”
“Winx is a global phenomenon and through this exciting series we are thrilled to reinforce our relationship with Rainbow and to develop the next chapter of Winx,” added Erik Barmack, VP of International Originals at Netflix “The famous fairies will grow up with their audience and will explore complex themes as real-life teenage super heroines in a live action show.”
