Winx Club is an Italian-American animated television series directed, created and produced by Iginio Straffi and his company Rainbow S.r.l. in co-production with Rai Fiction. The series is the first Italian cartoon to be sold in the United States. It is also broadcast in over 130 countries worldwide, and is Straffi's most successful creation, spawning a hit media franchise.

In the first season, Bloom, a teenage girl from Earth, discovers she has magical abilities when she saves Stella, a fairy princess. Stella persuades Bloom to enroll in Alfea, a school for fairies in the Magical Dimension. There, she meets roommate Flora and apartment mates Tecna and Musa; together they form the Winx. They encounter and befriend the boys from the Red Fountain school of Specialists. They also make enemies, mainly a trio of witches called the Trix. Together, the Winx go through many adventures and discover many secrets about Bloom's past while fighting their enemies and studying at Alfea. Their power in Season 1 is Winx.

In season 2, the Trix are back and have allied with Lord Darkar, an ancient creature of evil who wants to rule the universe. Together with their new member, Aisha (also known as Layla in some parts of the world), and their new friends the Pixies, the Winx will have to fight this new threat. They also meet Helia who, at first, is not a Specialist but becomes a Specialist and the love interest of Flora. Their power in Season 2 is Charmix.

In season 3, the Winx have to face a new enemy, Valtor, who was freed from his prison by the Trix and who took part in the destruction of Domino and shares a dark past with Bloom and her birth parents. Aisha meets a wizard, Nabu, with whom she falls in love. In Season 3 the Winx Club got a new power called Enchantix. The events of the third season are followed by those of the first movie, The Secret of the Lost Kingdom, which Bloom finally manages to revive Domino and reunite her birth parents. It is then followed by Magical Adventure, which deals with Bloom getting to know her family more while finally finishing off the Ancestral Witches who destroyed her planet in the first place.

In season 4, the Winx face a new threat: the four Wizards of the Black Circle, who caused all magic to disappear from Earth. The Winx go to Earth to save Roxy, the last fairy from Earth, fight the Wizards and restore its magic by freeing the Earth fairies from the Wizards. They also get a new power called Believix. They then get powers called the gifts of destiny. The gifts of destiny include Sophix, Lovix, and the black gift. The black gift can give life to a person who is not living. This marks the very last season of the original continuity as a new incarnation premiered in 2012

In season 5, taking place in a timeline separate from the original series, the Winx Club battle Aisha's evil cousin Tritannus, who's allied with the Trix in a quest to take over the Magic Dimension. To defeat them, the Winx must prove their self-confidence, empathy and courage and achieve the power of Sirenix. They will also earn the two new transformations: Harmonix and Sirenix. The Winx bond with Selkies from the seas of the Magic Dimension, Aisha meets Roy, a specialist towards whom she is attracted while Bloom will have to save her sister Daphne from Tritannus. Unlike the previous series, the Winx have resumed their normal school lives in Alfea, thus ignoring the events of the first film and season 4. The events of the season are followed by those of the third film, The Mystery of the Abyss.

In season 6, the Trix take over Cloud Tower and ally with a young witch named Selina, who owns the Legendarium, a magic book which can make the legends become reality, and was once a friend of Bloom. However, the Winx lost all their powers except Bloom. They will have to obtain two new transformations known as Bloomix and Mythix. During their quest to seal the Legendarium, the Winx will discover that they face the Trix and Acheron who is an evil wizard imprisoned in the Legendarium. Acheron is the master of Selina. This was the very last season to be dubbed by Atlas Oceanic as well as the final season to use 3D CGI.

In season 7, the Winx Club discover the Fairy Animals, which are magical creatures with special talents that are necessary for the balance of the Magical Universe. The Winx find out that they are under threat from the new villains Kalshara, who is an evil shape-shifter, and her brother Brafilius. As well as an unexpected appearance from the Trix, which counts as the third villains. To save the Fairy Animals, the Winx will have to travel through time, gain new transformations known as Butterflix and Tynix, and bond with their Fairy Animals.

In season 8, the Winx must travel to a new planet called Lumenia, where the queen entrusts them with the power of Cosmix, to protect the stars of the Magic Universe. It features the return of Valtor and marks the first (and presumably) the only season to use a style different from seasons 1-4 and seasons 5-8.

The next season will act as the third "soft reboot" series as opposed to seasons 5-7 and season 8. It will be animated entirely in CGI and consist of 52 11-minute episodes. It's scheduled to premiere on Rai YoYo in 2023.
