'Shadow and Bone' Season 2: Netflix Renewal and What to Expect

Oh, will you look at that! Is that a green light I see? For Netflix’s Shadow and Bone‘s second season, no less! Yes, sir, you heard that right! The Grishaverse special has been renewed by the streaming giant and here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming second season!

The first season, released on the 23rd of April, 2021, boasted what Leigh Bardugo’s Grishaverse can really do for the fans and for Netflix. To warrant a second season, it looks like it didn’t fail to deliver.

Jessie Mei Li, Archie Renaux, Freddy Carter, Amita Suman, and Kit Young headline the stars of the Shadow and Bone Season 1.

Shadow and Bone Season 2 renewal:

Though the announcement wasn’t about what we could expect for the second season, the renewal was all the fans needed after a handful of news and rumors about the active development and production of the series. The renewal announcement didn’t come until Netflix’s Geeked Week and was included in the huge lineup of other big titles.

After the first season, and if you haven’t guessed it then spoiler alert, we saw our heroes enter the fold the final time. For one more time, lives are on the line. General Kirigan (Ben Barnes) uses Alina’s (Jessie Mei Li) powers to create a new tunnel of light to allow the passage through the darkness. As a fight turns to war, the world seems as though it’s divided more than before.

The renewal, in true Netflix fashion, came alongside a video with the cast hyping up the renewal one by one.
