New "Winx Club" Movie "The Mystery of the Abyss" Arrives In Finland; Rainbow Inks Brazilian Broadcast Deal For TV Series

The Italian animation studio Rainbow has announced that "The Mystery of the Abyss", the new "Winx Club" movie, has made its theatrical debut in Finland!


"The Mystery of the Abyss" looks on as the Winx fairies battle against the Trix and the evil nymph Politea, who are on the verge of becoming dangerously powerful. The film is the third theatrical movie based on Rainbow's popular "Winx Club" franchise. It is being distributed by Primal Screen.

""The Mystery of the Abyss" has already been released around the globe, through both cinemas and home entertainment, and has been a huge success," said Andrea Graciotti, the head of sales and co-production at Rainbow Group. "I hope Finnish fairy fans will also be delighted by the new amazing adventures the Winx face in this new movie!"

Additionally, Rainbow has announced that they have inked a new broadcast deal with Brazil's TV Cultura for its girl-skewing "Winx Club" property!


The Brazilian broadcaster is slated to air seasons five and six of the show every weekday, starting this month through the end of 2016.

Blending action and adventure with comedy, the animated series follows the adventures of a group of young fairies. With six seasons to its name, "Winx Club" counts over 15 million daily viewers, through 115 broadcasters worldwide.

Rainbow recently brought "Winx Club" season seven to MIPTV in Cannes, France in April 2015. In the series' latest installment, the fairies discover the importance of a group of rare fairy animals, which must be saved from evil shape-shifter Kalshara.

A spin-off series is also in the works from Rainbow and Netflix. The pair is expected to launch "Winx Club WOW: World of Winx" in early 2016, with a serialized storyline designed for on-demand viewing.
