Another show that has the unfortunate pleasure of being part of the less-than-highly exclusive canceled Netflix club is Fate: The Winx Saga. Only lasting two seasons, the show struggled to find its footing, never hitting the highs of the animated series it was inspired by. Fortunately, that’s not the end of the story because fans of Fate: The Winx Saga can find solace in the fact that a replacement is available on Netflix.
Fate: The Winx Saga Didn’t Get to Conclude Its Dramatic Story
It’s one thing if a series rides off into the sunset after a season that tells a story from beginning to end, but it’s another when it disappears after a cliffhanger. In the case of Fate: The Winx Saga, the show is all about Bloom, a fairy who knows a thing or two about starting fires, and her group of friends. They all attend a boarding school called Alfea, where they hope to learn more about their powers and become powerful enough to protect the people they love. Unfortunately, Bloom and Co. have to push themselves beyond their limits before they’re ready because evil creatures known as the Burned Ones start wreaking havoc.
In Season 2, the group finds itself up against the Blood Witches, whose ranks include a former student at Alfea, Sebastian. Bloom makes a deal with Sebastian initially because she’s still seeking to learn the truth about herself, but that turns out to be a mistake because he takes over the school and takes power from some of the fairies. When push finally comes to shove, Bloom takes Sebastian out, and she travels through the portal he opened in hopes of closing it. But that mission takes a backseat when she catches a glimpse of her birth mother, who is still alive. Season 3 would have certainly focused on Bloom’s reunion with her mother and uncovered even more secrets. While that option is no longer on the table, at least there is something else that can fill the Winx-sized hole in many people’s hearts.
