Fate: Winx StoryFilming for the second season of ‘s began in July 2021 and wrapped in November. Since the Netflix series is filmed in Ireland, it’s possible Alex didn’t have enough time to work on both projects. The actor has been involved in Becoming Elizabeth, a TV show in which he plays Stephen Gardiner.
Filming took place in March 2021, so he may still be working on the series at that time. The star is on Instagram and he teased his latest role with a photo of himself dressed as Stephen.

Daniel shared, “Atticus is such an amazing, iconic character, but I didn’t even think about marking it as a role I wanted to play in the future. When I first auditioned for the role, I was in the process of Dial M to kill – so my mind was in a completely different place than a lawyer seeking justice! – and so that role gradually emerged in me.”
“I hadn’t read the book in a while, so when I reread it, what really drew me to Timothy Sheader’s work was the realization that although we’re dealing with a text that has a lot of emotional value and perfection, it’s also about how people are treated unfairly, and that’s a really urgent political message,” he added.

His notable works so far include Dark Matters, Criminal Justice, Law and Order, U Be Dead, Silent Witness, Time of Your Life, Ultimate Force, Leprechauns, A Touch of Frost, City Central and Prince of Hearts.
