Fate: The Winx Saga Is Coming Back SO Soon

A first look at Fate: The Winx Saga Season 2 was included as part of Netflix’s 2022 Geeked Week rundown of upcoming TV series. But instead of an overall trailer giving fans a look at Season 2’s story, the streamer chose to gift fans with Terra’s reunion with her cousin Flora, who is joining the series this season.

As for what dangers lurk outside the school grounds, that’s something fans will have to wait and see.

Along with the premiere date, Netflix released a BTS teaser arrived on July 27, 2022, which introduced Paulina Chávez and Brandon Grace, who join the cast this season as Flora and Grey, as well as a few other casting surprises, plus a look at this season’s monsters.

Fans will be thrilled to know Fate: The Winx Saga’s core cast is ready to come back for a second season. That includes Abigail Cowen as Bloom, plus her whole crew: Hannah van der Westhuysen will return as Stella; Precious Mustapha will be back as Aisha; Eliot Salt returns as Terra; and Elisha Applebaum will play Musa. Also, Sadie Soverall returns as Beatrix, Freddie Thorp as Riven, Danny Griffin as Sky, Theo Graham as Dane, Jacob Dudman as Sam, Ken Duken as Andreas, and Rob James Collier as Silva.

Season 2 will also bring new faces to Alfea. (A new school term always brings new students, doesn’t it?) Netflix announced new cast members, including Éanna Hardwicke (Normal People) as Sebastian, Paulina Chávez (The Expanding Universe of Ashley Garcia) as Flora, and newcomer Brandon Grace as Grey.

Also joining the cast: Miranda Richardson (Good Omens), who takes over the role of Rosalind from Lesley Sharp, and Daniel Betts (The Crown) who will play Professor Harvey.

Since Fate: The Winx Saga created a new story instead of following the original Winx Club series, it's hard to say where Season 2 will go next.

Season 1 ended with Rosalind staging a coup at Alfea. Bloom returned to school after a short break to discover it had gone from a gentle place of magical learning to a military-like institution. Moreover, although Bloom doesn't know it yet, she's a pawn in Rosalind's game. The new headmistress is convinced her pupil is the key to saving their world.

Here’s Season 2’s synopsis.

“School’s 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.”

Netflix’s February 2021 announcement that Fate: The Winx Saga was renewed was met with cheers from fans. Along with the teaser, Netflix revealed production “begins later this year” in Ireland.

On July 20, the production released a video showing the series' behind-the-scenes footage as it began production on the new season. The clip included the series’ cast sitting down for the table read of the production script for Season 2 of Fate: The Winx Saga. With filming wrapped as of October 2021, fans hopefully won’t have long to wait to see more from Bloom and company at Alfea.

Fate: The Winx Saga will debut on Netflix will all seven episodes on Friday, Sept. 16, 2022.
