Directed by Lisa James Larsson and Hannah Quinn, Fate-The Winx Saga is an upcoming young adult drama series that is based on Winx Club by Iginio Straffi. Winx Club is one of the most successful animated series which premiered on Nickelodeon in 2004. The upcoming Netflix series has planned to hit a target of young adults. We have seen a number of adaptions and spin-offs based on this popular series earlier. If you are someone who grew up watching cartoons, this is something for you.
Straffi wanted to turn his animated series into a live-action series as early as 2011. Well, Netflix is all set to premiere the show in 2020. The saga series will be “edgier and darker than they (the older audience of Winx Club) can imagine after being used to the colourful world of Winx.” said Straffi.
