Everything you need to know about ‘Shadow And Bone’ Season 2

The third book in Leigh Bardugo’s Grisha trilogy will soon be available on Netflix.

Fans of Shadow and Bone, gather around—we finally have the official premiere date for season 2 as well as brand-new images of the cast—both new and returning—in action.

Co-showrunner Eric Heisserer hinted in a statement about what’s coming up, including new cast members and thrilling experiences. “We expand the world, we go to new locations, we visit Novyi Zem and Shu Han, and those are all integral to the narrative,” he said.

Co-showrunner Daegan Fryklind added: “We’ve also really dug into more of the mythology this season in terms of the amplifiers, but also the creator of the amplifiers, Morozova, who he was, what his backstory is, and how he ties into this world. We go out and we go deeper.”

Leigh Bardugo’s Grishaverse novels will still be adapted for television in season two, with the focus this time shifting to the plotlines of Siege and Storm and, at long last, Six of Crows’ heist novella. Jessie Mei Li, Ben Barnes, Archie Renaux, Sujaya Dasgupta, Daisy Head, and Luke Pasqualino are among the primary cast members who will all be making a comeback.

Additionally, Patrick Gibson as Prince Nikolai Lantsov, Jack Wolfe as Wylan, the demolition specialist for the Crows, Anna Leong Brophy as Tamar, and Lewis Tan as Tolya Yul-Bataar are all joining the group. The Shadow and Bone actors, who hinted that “love, power, and heartbreak” would all be present in season 2 of the show, can be seen discussing their roles with the newbies in the #GeekedWeek footage below.

 

Shadow and Bone Season 2: Release Date

On Thursday, December 8th, Netflix made the announcement that fresh episodes would begin streaming on that date in 2023.

The showrunner, Eric Heisserer, said in a statement, “The most amazing thing about season 2 is that we get to advance the tale of these characters that we’d left in hazardous positions at the end of season 1.”

 

Shadow And Bone Season 2: Cast

Jessie Mei Li, Ben Barnes, Archie Renaux, Sujaya Dasgupta, Emily Head, Luke Pasqualino, and Emily Head are all expected to make a comeback as the primary cast.

The Crows (Kaz, Jesper, and Inej, played by Freddy Carter, Kit Young, and Amita Suman) aren’t in Bardugo’s second Grisha book, but they weren’t in the first either. It’s plausible that season 2 might alter their plot from their initial appearance in Six of Crows, the first novel in the Grisha series. And indeed, Jack Wolf has been cast in the part of Wylan, the Crows’ demolition specialist and Jesper’s love interest.

Sadly, a proper season 2 trailer is still quite a way away.

 

Shadow And Bone Season 2: Plot

In fact, if Season 2 of Shadow and Bone is based on Bardugo’s second Grisha novel, Siege and Storm, as Season One was based on her first book, Shadow and Bone, we have a fairly clear sense of what will happen.

Without giving too much away, it’s likely that the Darkling, who—as we saw at the end of season one—now has the power to summon an army of shadows anytime he pleases, will foil Alina and Mal’s efforts to blend in. Alina is forced to choose between the two sides of this civil war between the Darkling’s supporters and the crown’s supporters before the dramatic conclusion.

Despite the fact that her Six of Crows duology was initially set in a different time period, Leigh Bardugo has stated that season 2 might possibly draw inspiration from other books in her series.
