How World of Winx Was Made
In 2014, Netflix decided to order two seasons of World of Winx from Rainbow. Each season would have 13 episodes, each lasting 22 minutes. The idea was for the Winx girls to travel the world. They would look for talented kids in art, sports, music, and science.
The show was first planned for early 2016. But it was released later that year, on November 4, 2016. The second season came out on Netflix on June 16, 2017. The series did not get a third season. This means the story ended with some questions unanswered.
