Fans of Fate: The Winx Saga rejoice, as the hit Netflix show has been given the green light for a second season – which will be filmed on Irish shores later this year.
The show, based on an Italian cartoon series, tells the tale 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.
Abigail Cowen will return as Bloom, Hannah van der Westhuysen as Stella, Precious Mustapha as Aisha, Eliot Salt as Terra and Elisha Applebaum as Musa, plus there’ll be a few exciting additions to the cast, which will be revealed soon.
Following the success of the first season, the show will return with another eight episodes and Executive Producer Brian Young says fans are in for a real treat.
“The six episodes in season one only scratched the surface of this incredibly rich world and the powerful fairies who inhabit it,” he 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…”
There’s been no confirmation on when exactly audiences will be able to view it – but we’ll keep you updated.
