“Fate: The Winx Saga” has finally found its Flora for Season 2. Netflix’s live-action adaptation of the Italian cartoon series “Winx Club,” which aired on Nickelodeon in the U.S., has cast Paulina Chavez in the role of Flora, a fan-favorite fairy from the animated show whose absence in the first season of the adaptation stirred up some controversy.
Netflix revealed Tuesday Chavez’s casting in Season 2, which has just commenced production in County Wicklow, Ireland, along with the additions of fellow new cast members Brandon Grace as Grey and Éanna Hardwicke as Sebastian.
Created by Brian Young (“The Vampire Diaries”), “Fate: The Winx Saga” follows 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.
