Timeline (World of Winx)

Much like the main series, the series of events that take place within World of Winx extend beyond what transpires on-screen, however, unlike the Winx Club series, both established seasons are closely interwoven as the events of the first season lead more directly into the second season with a majority of the same cast, including an overarching antagonist.

Throughout the course of the series, the girls of the Winx Club investigate strange occurrences that tie back into the enigmatic World of Dreams, leading them into a series-long struggle against its tyrannical ruler, Queen Tinkerbell. As they try to put a stop to her nefarious plans, the Winx learn more of her past, as well as the history behind the World of Dreams, also known as Neverland.

Overview
For information about series and characters, see: World of Winx (Series).

Major events pertaining to the series heavily focus on the World of Dreams and any details and characters that surround it, mainly its ruler, Queen Tinkerbell. This is evident by how almost half of the series events are spent uncovering both Tinkerbell's past, as well as the history of the mysterious World of Dreams (primarily within Season 2).

All events are listed in the correct order of which they occur with connections to future events that directly relate to them. Additionally, all events that occur in World of Winx take place in a universe entirely separate from the one established in Winx Club, as too many inconsistencies would crop up with any attempts made to merge the two timelines.

Pre-Series
As of its second season, the story of World of Winx can be vaguely traced back as far as Peter Pan's arrival to Neverland and up to the middle of the Winx's investigation into the string of kidnappings that start off the first season.

Curiosities

 * Since World of Winx takes place in a universe separate from the main series, it is unknown whether Bloom still possesses the Dragon's Flame or just stronger-than-average fire magic.
 * Aisha, on the other hand, subtly displays her control over Morphix twice in the series—once in each season.
 * The Season 2 episode "Neverland" reveals that the Winx's powers are tied to the World of Dreams to the point where they would lost their powers should the World of Dreams face a cataclysm.
 * This could have just been due to the Winx's Onyrix powers as they were seemingly bestowed to them by the Spirit of the World of Dreams, but it is too ambiguous a claim to be sure.
 * A brief glimpse into Stella's childhood in the episode "Mermaids on Earth" makes it seem as though Stella may have been raised as a normal girl as opposed to being a princess.
 * It is still made ambiguous given how princesses have been treated as normal girls throughout the Winx Club franchise.

Trivia

 * In Issue 156 of the Winx Club Comic Series, it is shown that the events of World of Winx take place directly after the events of the seventh season of Winx Club, as Headmistress Faragonda alerts the Winx of the string of kidnappings that take place before and during the events of Season 1 and tasks them with saving the talents being targeted.
