The success of Fate: The Winx Saga across the globe continues to show the great strength of the Winx brand. During the last few weeks, we could feel the excitement from the Winx fans who have supported us over the last 17 years and ran to watch the Netflix series during its debut weekend. I hope the series will remain popular on Netflix for a very long time, and in the meantime we’re hugely delighted that the magic between the brand and a new challenge has happened once again“.
