Winx Club season 3

The third season of the animated series Winx Club, which aired in Italy from 29 January to 28 March 2007, consisting of 26 episodes. The series was created by Iginio Straffi, founder of the Rainbow animation studio.

Before the original Italian broadcast, the series had already begun airing in the United States as a world premiere for the first seven episodes, from September 30 to November 25, 2006, within the 4Kids TV strand on Fox. However, the episodes were dubbed using unfinished copies, as the series was still in production in Italy. After the broadcast of another ten episodes, from February 24 to April 28, 2007, the airing was once again put on hold and later resumed until the conclusion of the season, from July 28 to September 22, 2007.

The season focuses on the Winx Club's third and final year at the Alfea College for Fairies, where they strive to earn an enhancement to their powers called Enchantix. The Trix escape from their prison in the Omega Dimension and bring back a new villain named Valtor, who has a special connection with Bloom.

In 2011, the American company Viacom became a co-owner of the Rainbow studio, and Viacom's Nickelodeon began producing a Winx Club revival series. Before airing the Nick-produced episodes, Nickelodeon U.S. broadcast the third season under the title, Winx Club: Enchantix, from 14 November to 26 December 2011. The Nickelodeon version was re-recorded with the new voice cast from Hollywood.
