Series' showrunner, Brian Young, broke the news to fans on Instagram, saying: "This is not fun news to share.”

“Netflix have decided not to move forward with Season 3 of Fate: The Winx Saga," he wrote.

"This is especially tough because I know how many of you loved this season. It's a heartbreaking silver lining, but a silver lining all the same.

"I'm so proud of everyone who worked on the show, and so happy we got to tell the stories we did.

“Our cast and crew put in a ton of hard work creating this world and these characters. I'm grateful for each and every one of them, and for all of you for watching.

"It's been an amazing four years. Hopefully we'll see each other again in the future."

The series was filmed in Wicklow at Ardmore Studios and Kilruddery House in Bray.

Season one premiered globally on Netflix in January 2021, whilst season two was released in September 2022.

Cork actor Éanna Hardwicke joined the cast for the most recent season in the role of Sebastian while Dubliner Leah Minto returned to her role as Kat.

Fate: The Winx Saga follows the coming-of-age journey of five fairies attending Alfea, a magical boarding school in the Otherworld where they must learn to master their powers while navigating love, rivalries, and the monsters that threaten their very existence.

From creator Brian Young (The Vampire Diaries), Fate: The Winx Saga is a live-action reimagining of the Italian cartoon series Winx Club by Iginio Straffi.
