Brian ended the statement with a hope of taking the show elsewhere: "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."
Fans were quick to take to social media to reflect on the announcement, and many are not happy about Netflix's decision. One person wrote: "I really don't understand Netflix. They cancel even the shows which are successful and have good ratings. They don't care about us at all."
Fans were sad to hear the news
A second noted: "I thought season two was successful and fans were saying it was renewed?? What happened?" As a third tweeted: "Season two was so much better than season one, it's really sad."
Fate: The Winx Saga follows the coming-of-age journey of six 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."
