Supernatural boarding school? Redheaded heroine? Untrustworthy adults? Yes,
Fate: The Winx Saga checks off all the requisite boxes for a Netflix teen drama — along with one
fairy important twist.
Fate is a live-action adaptation of a popular Italian animated franchise about fighting fairies called
Winx Club, which has existed in various forms — including hundreds of episodes, multiple spinoffs and several films — since 2004. Though the characters’ designs and scenarios have undergone multiple changes throughout the years (for better or worse), Netflix’s decidedly adult adaptation marks the most significant departure from the source material to date.
