Many Netflix users reacted very negatively to the first trailer of "Fate: The Winx Saga".
Despite reviews, the makers have good news for season 2.
Update from February 19, 2021
: The official Twitter account
Netflix Queue
has released an update for the second season of "Fate: The Winx Saga".
Accordingly, showrunner Brian Young can now confirm
that there will be a sequel
.
In a statement he also indicated that he wanted to fulfill a great fan wish: “The six episodes of season 1 only showed a part of what this strong, diverse world and the fairies that live there have to offer.
As Bloom's evolution continues, I can't wait to tell you more about Aisha, Stella, Terra and Musa as well.
And who knows which new students will appear in Alfea next year ... "
The last sentence could indicate that the makers cast the popular Winx characters
Tecna
and
Flora
in the real-life version.
In particular, the fans and the main actresses wanted the latter to appear (see update from January 26, 2021).
It remains to be seen which newcomers the showrunner is actually talking about.
"Fate: The Winx Saga" star expects a new character in season 2
Update from January 26th, 2021
: It is currently not yet clear whether
"Fate: The Winx Saga" will have
a second season or not.
If
Netflix
confirms a sequel, leading actress
Abigail Cowen (Bloom)
expects
newcomers.
In an interview with
The Wrap
magazine
, she specifically talks about the character
Flora
, who is already known from the cartoon series.
Many fans are said to have been disappointed that she does not appear in the Netflix production.
“If we're lucky and get a second season, I could see
Flora
being brought on board, and I'd definitely appreciate that,” reveals Cowen.
She believes this step is also important because
Flora
originally has Latin American roots.
Cowen sees more actors with different cultural backgrounds as “in front of the camera and behind the camera as essential and urgently necessary”.
"Fate: The Winx Saga": Even before the Netflix launch, there was criticism
News from January 22, 2021
: These were definitely not good starting conditions.
When
Netflix put
a trailer for "Fate: The Winx Saga" * online, there was a shit storm in the comments.
YouTube users complained, among other things, about the gloomy interpretation of the actually very colorful cartoon series
"Winx Club" by Iginio Straffi
.
The style reminds many too much of "Riverdale".
The costumes and the cast of the character
Musa
also caused outrage
.
The original is a character with East Asian roots.
Netflix,
on the other hand, chose an English actress who hardly resembles the cartoon version.
Does all of this point to a failure of
"Fate: The Winx Saga"
?
Since the first season only appeared on January 22nd, 2021, it remains to be seen how much of the final reviews will be.
In any case, the reactions of the audience should be decisive when it comes to the decision for or against a
second season
.
