This New 'Fate: The Winx Saga' Trailer Teases The Netflix Show's Magic & Mystery

We can all use a little magic right now, and Netflix is here to provide it with the upcoming Netflix series Fate: The Winx Saga. The new show tells the story of a bunch of teen fairies at boarding school, promising not only a fantasy adventure, but also plenty of steamy drama. While fans wait for the show to come out, here are the details we know about it, including the cast, trailer, release date, and more.

Fate: The Winx Saga is a live-action reimagining of Winx Club, an Italian animated series that aired from 2004 to 2009 and then was revived on Nickelodeon in 2011, where it ran for eight years. The Netflix version of the show takes a much darker twist on the bright, neon-hued animated Winx Club. In this new take, created by Vampire Diaries writer Brian Young, fans can expect these fairies to experience a few more dramatic ups and downs than their animated counterparts.

The series will focus on Bloom (played by Chilling Adventures of Sabrina's Abigail Cowen), who discovers she's a fairy who is able to harness the power of fire in her hands. She gets whisked away to Alfea Academy in the Otherworld, where she meets and befriends other fairies like her... and has to face off against some evil forces. Here's what else to know about Netflix's latest fantasy drama series:
