Netflix has launched a featurette trailer for its upcoming series Fate: the Winx Saga, which was filmed on location in Wicklow.
The drama 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.
It's a live-action reimagining of the Italian cartoon series Winx Club by Iginio Straffi, and was filmed at Killruddery House in Bray.
It looks the business:
The cast includes Abigail Cowen as Bloom, Hannah van der Westhuysen as Stella, Precious Mustapha as Aisha, Eliot Salt as Terra, Elisha Applebaum as Musa, Sadie Soverall as Beatrix, Freddie Thorp as Riven, and Danny Griffin.
Eve Best (Nurse Jackie), Robert James-Collier (Downton Abbey), Josh Cowdery (Fantastic Beasts & Where To Find Them) Alex Macqueen (The Thick of It, Sally 4Ever) and Eva Birthistle (Brooklyn, The Last Kingdom) also star.
Fate: the Winx Saga will premiere globally on Netflix on January 22.
