A bow to the progenitor Harry Potter, a bit of adrenaline to the Hunger Games, of mystery to the Stranger things ... you could also find other visual references but they are not enough: the phenomenon of the Winx, looks like a phoenix, is there to grow determined girls for almost two decades (the debut of cartoons was on Rai2 in January 2004, with the far-sighted production of Luca Milano of Rai Fiction today at Rai Ragazzi) and to find a success that has long gone beyond our country.

Iginio Straffi, Rainbow's talent from Marche, looks at the data of his new creature, Fate: The Winx Saga, six episodes of the live action series inspired by that cartoon, a Netflix original series created by Archery Pictures Production, in association with Rainbow.

It debuted on January 22 on Netflix and is at the top of the 10 original productions.

And not only in Italy.

The second season is already in the air.

Signed by Brian Young (The Vampire Diaries), shot with blockbuster vehicles in Ireland, in the midst of nature and in locations for interiors that have become sets, the series tells the adventures of five fairies who frequent Alfea, the college of magic of Beyond the World and it is aimed at a Young Adult audience as they say in the jargon, 16-30 years old, who loves strong youthful stories in which to recognize themselves and travel with the imagination, a central target for the streaming platform.

"The girls, in Italy and in the world, grew up on bread and Winx, through 10 TV series, 3 films, musicals, on ice shows, were curious to see how fairies grew up with them and today they are in flesh and blood in this I always believed in live action, I knew that Netflix was the right interlocutor and so it was because the production is really impressive: the Winx deserved it ", says to ANSA Straffi, convinced that the fan base that fairies always have had it turned into public TV and it did.

Peering at the data of flixpatrol (sort of world TV box office, which measures the top ten of each platform), the Italian fantasy saga makes us proud: first place everywhere, 90 countries, from America to Great Britain for these first days.

Why are they so evergreen?

"I think - replies Straffi - many years ago we hit the heart, after a great artisan preparatory work, in the stories, in the characters, in the concept, in the fashion, in the style. At the center there are strong, credible characters with eternal values, the friendship, love, solidarity, speak to the boys who in that age of life grow us up and nourish themselves with these feelings. And then we want to say, now maybe it's less news, 17 years ago it was: they are female protagonists, determined, courageous, independent young people in a TV world, much less then today, dominated by superheroes, this too is worth much for me to explain the sequel.

Cast includes: Abigail Cowen as Bloom, Hannah van der Westhuysen as Stella, Precious Mustapha as Aisha, Eliot Salt as Terra, Elisha Applebaum as Musa, Sadie Soverall as Beatrix, Freddie Thorp in the role of Riven, Danny Griffin in the role of Sky, Theo Graham in the role of Dane and Jacob Dudman in the role of Sam (The Stranger, Medici, The A List).
