16	Iginio Straffi outlined the show's story from the beginning, intending it to wrap up after the third season. Plans changed after the show turned into a CashCowFranchise, and the show returned for a [[PostScriptSeason fourth season]]. In 2010, Creator/{{Viacom}}'s Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} started producing a SoftReboot of the series, [[https://issuu.com/dhosford/docs/nick_packaging/28 inducting]] ''Winx'' into the Franchise/{{Nicktoons}} franchise. The Nick revival kicked off with four newly-produced specials retelling the first two seasons of the original show. In 2011, Viacom itself became a co-owner of Rainbow [=SpA=] alongside Straffi. They brought on a crew of longtime Nick veterans as writers for the show, including story editor Creator/JaniceBurgess. The voice talent included live-action stars Music/ArianaGrande and Music/KekePalmer.

18	The sixth and seventh seasons wrapped production amid a [[TroubledProduction flurry of financial problems]] at Rainbow. [[ScheduleSlip Several years later]], an eighth season premiered which, at Straffi's own discretion, saw the show {{ReTool}}ed to target a much younger audience, while most of the show's crew members had already stepped away after the previous season. A full-on ContinuityReboot, animated in 3D animation, is currently in production.

20	''Winx Club'' has since spawned several {{Spinoff}}s. The mini-series ''WesternAnimation/PopPixie'' premiered in 2010, set in an AlternateUniverse with the Pixies as the main characters. [[ShortRunners It didn't last long]]. ''WesternAnimation/WorldOfWinx'' premiered in 2016 with two seasons before being cancelled. Finally, a DarkerAndEdgier live-action reimagining aimed at young adults, titled ''Series/FateTheWinxSaga'', premiered on Netflix on January 22, 2021; this also lasted two seasons.
