Netflix has given a quick second season order to Fate: The Winx Saga, comprising eight further episodes.

The show follows the coming-of-age journey of five unlikely friends attending Alfea, a magical boarding school in the Otherworld. There they must learn to master their magical powers while navigating love, rivalries and the monsters that threaten their very existence. Abigail Cowen, Hannah van der Westhuysen, Precious Mustapha, Eliot Salt and Elisha Applebaum star.

“The six episodes in Season 1 only scratched the surface of this incredibly rich world and the powerful fairies who inhabit it,” showrunner Brian Young said. “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.”

The Rainbow Groups’s Iginio Straffi added: “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.”
