What is Fate: The Winx Saga about?
The story this time around picks up some time after the events last year. With Dowling gone, Rosalind is in charge of the academy and she’s certainly more Dolores Umbridge than Professor Dumbledore! There are also students missing too, while the Specialists outside have intensified their fighting, sensing something foul approaching. Who’s behind this? Well, we soon learn who the big bad is. It’s Sebastian and the Blood Witches, setting up a conflict for the second half of this season. The plot soon takes on a much more formulaic edge, especially as the mystery dissipates and we double down on the whole plot centering on Bloom being the “chosen one.” Holding the power of the Dragon Flame inside, Bloom is forced to try and wield this to stop the forces of evil, while simultaneously keeping all her friends happy and her relationship with Sky intact. We have extensive coverage of Fate: The Winx Saga across the site, including recaps for every episode. You can check that out HERE!
Has Fate: The Winx Saga been renewed for season 3?
At the time of writing, Fate: The Winx Saga has not been renewed for a third season. In a recent Variety article, it has been confirmed that this fantasy series has been cancelled. Series showrunner Brian Young originally made the announcement on Instagram, where he wrote: Although the article does go on to claim Fate: Winx Saga had good viewing numbers over the week of 5th-11th September, it doesn’t elaborate further, which seems to indicate that the show did good numbers…and then potentially fell off a cliff and stagnated to very little traction. This could well be the reason why the series was cancelled.
What we know about season 3 so far:
Barely anything is known about season 3 at this point, given Netflix have not green-lit a sequel. The conclusion does open things up for a follow-up….but we’re not going to get it. Instead, the irritating cliffhanger ending plague continues, this time with Fate: Winx Saga as we’re left with big question marks over how this one could have played out. Although we initially predicted this would be renewed, it would seem the second season has done bad numbers for Netflix and has been resigned to being cancelled.
