Early social media trailers and clips have already attracted a fantastic response including more than 12 million views on the Winx Club TikTok profile.
“We can’t wait for UK audiences to unfurl their fairy wings and harness their hidden superpowers as they experience the wonder, courage, and connection that the new Winx generation brings to life from September 8th,” said Iginio Straffi, creator of Winx Club. “The new series is a tribute to the fans who grew up with Bloom and her friends, and an invitation for today’s children to discover the rich storytelling and engaging characters that define the Winx universe.”
