Fate: The Winx Saga is coming back for another season!

Netflix confirmed Thursday (February 17) that it has ordered an eight-episode second season of the series, based on the Nickelodeon animated series Winx Club, via Deadline.

The series 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.

Fate: The Winx Club debuted January 22 on Netflix, and Season 2 will begin production later this year in Ireland.

Abigail Cowen, Hannah van der Westhuysen and Precious Mustapha star in the show, co-directed by Lisa James Larsson and Hannah Quinn.

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

The cast of Netflix’s Fate: The Winx Saga is speaking out on the backlash the show is getting for “white-washing” the characters.

Precious Mustapha, Eliot Salt and Elisha Applebaum, who play Aisha, Terra and Musa, spoke in a new interview about the claims.

“It’s really sad to see that fans were upset with the casting,” Elisha shared. “I wasn’t involved in the casting but I hope that what they’ve seen and how I’ve portrayed Musa was to their liking.”

She continued, “I’ve only seen great reviews back from them so they’ve been open-minded from what I’ve created, so I hope that it continues to be that way.”

Backlash came just after the trailer for the dark-toned live-action series debuted.

Musa, who is the Fairy of Music, was notably East Asian in the animated series, but Elisha herself is not. More over, original animated fairy Flora, who is Latina, was absent from the series altogether, and instead, replaced a cousin, Terra (Salt).

“I think it’s really important that we do see [Terra and Flora together] and if we’re lucky enough to get a season two that’s my greatest hope,” Eliot added in the same interview. “I think the conversations that have happened around that have been really important and I’m really glad that they’ve happened.”

While there is some diversity, Precious, admits there “could be more”.

“I’ve always been someone who always looked for people who look like me on-screen,” she said. “That’s few and far between.”

“The industry is getting to a point where we’re starting to see more diversity on screen, but it’s obviously not enough and there’s still more work to be done,” she says, adding, “It’s really nice to be on a show where there is a lot of diversity. There could be more and hopefully if we get a season two there will be a lot of that.”

Fate: The Winx Saga is streaming now on Netflix.
