When the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes got underway earlier this year, many Netflix shows were left with fates up in the air.
Now that the strikes are over and Hollywood is getting back to normal, the series won't be making the cut for additional seasons are being revealed.

“Shadow and Bone” Season 2 expands an already complex universe by taking on more source material from Leigh Bardugo’s books, unfurling the fictional fantasy map to explore countries in the Grishaverse and four completely new characters. And in an exclusive new behind-the-scenes featurette, costume designer Wendy Partridge explains how the season’s costumes helped tell the story.
Ben Barnes, Jessie Mei Li, Archie Renaux and the original Crows Freddy Carter, Kit Young and Amita Suman return alongside brand new characters. Both new and returning characters continue to shed layers of identity as the story develops, and these characters’ costumes reflected subtle shifts in their roles as well for Season 2.
As for where the show is headed, some of the characters’ costumes hint at that as well. Costume Designer Wendy Partridge kicked off the season by coordinating colors between Alina and Mal as they became more open about their affection for each other.

The "Shadow and Bone" universe is lush with magic, from bursts of light that shoot out of characters' hands to ancient swords that can cut through seemingly indestructible shadows. In the world of "Shadow and Bone," though, these powers aren't actually called magic - they're instead referred to as the "small science," or the art of manipulating matter, and the characters who practice it are called Grisha.
There are three main categories of Grisha - the Corporalki, Etherealki, and Materialki - and each is broken down into subsets, such as Inferni, who can manipulate fire; Heartrenders, who can control people's internal organs and can also detect when people are telling the truth; and Durasts, who can bend and move metals with their minds. But in the real world, the "Shadow and Bone" cast have differing opinions on which powers are most covetable.

This post contains spoilers for "Shadow and Bone" season 2, up to the season finale.
The first season of Netflix's "Shadow and Bone" did an impressive job streamlining Leigh Bardugo's lore-intensive fantasy novels for viewers who hadn't yet burned through the book series. The show's second season, which debuted this week, had a more daunting task ahead of it: cramming the entire contents of two of Bardugo's books together in just eight episodes. It's a decision that makes for an often overwhelming viewing experience, as the show's mythology flies by faster than most average viewers can catch it.
I haven't finished Bardugo's whole bibliography yet, and while I enjoy "Shadow and Bone," I admit I found myself scratching my head a bit during the new season. The series is still thrilling, but some of its world-building seemed to be spread a bit too thin to keep non-book-readers on board.

This article contains spoilers for Shadow and Bone season 2.
It’s understandable that before fans get into a Netflix show nowadays, they want to know whether the show will have another season or whether they’ll be stuck with another cliffhanger ending that will never be continued. Yes we’re talking about Julie and the Phantoms, First Kill, Partner Track, and so much more. But with a show like Shadow and Bone, where we have a whole universe’s worth of stories to pull from and a strong fan base, viewers will be happy to hear that back when showrunner Eric Heisserer pitched the show for Netflix, he told them his ideas for a three-season series.

Alina and Mal found a bit of peace, but that quickly got foiled when Alina learned her nightmares were real.
Shadow and Bone Season 2 Episode 1 saw Alina dreaming of Kirigan inside the fold while the Crows dealt with their issues.
Pekka managed to kill the woman whose name was on the deed for the Crow Club, which means the club now was his: as was Inej's contract.
Mal and Alina continued their romance, but their romantic interactions kept getting interrupted by multiple outside occurrences.
Both of them managed to get caught, causing them to flee the land they had just arrived in.
We didn't see much of the Zemeni side of things, so hopefully, they get brought back into the future. Just as Alina did, we learned that the Zemeni consider their magic users blessed and don't categorize them.
The Zemeni saved Alina and Mal later in the episode, much to everyone's surprise.

Four new characters from the Grishaverse play major roles in “Shadow and Bone” Season 2 on Netflix. Like the pair of The Darkling and Alina, these new characters contain contradictions.
Adapted from the last two books in Leigh Bardugo’s “Shadow and Bone” trilogy — “Seige and Storm” and “Ruin and Rising” — with plot points from the “Six of Crows” duology mixed in, the sequel installment of the YA fantasy show introduces new characters and builds upon old concepts, specifically that of identity. Twin Heartrenders Tamar Kir-Bataar (Anna Leong Brophy) and Tolya Yul-Bataar (Lewis Tan) challenge the strict Ravkan identity categories in the fantasy world because have Grisha power to manipulate elements, but they are also just as comfortable using battle axes and swords.
“There’s a lot of duality. So I feel like the twins are a physical representation of duality, they’re two different sides of a coin,” Leong Brophy told TheWrap.

Netflix’s “Shadow and Bone” Season 2 will continue to immerse viewers into the fictional fantasy world created by Leigh Bardugo, author of the “Shadow and Bone” trilogy and the “Six of Crows” duology.
Landing on the streamer March 16, the second season of the YA fantasy series adapts both “Siege and Storm” and “Ruin and Rising” from Bardugo’s trilogy while sprinkling in elements from the “Six of Crows” duology. New characters from both parts of the Grishaverse enter the story this round as well, including Tolya Yul-bataar (Lewis Tan), Tamar Kir-bataar (Anna Leong Brophy), Sturmhond aka Nikolai Lantsov (Patrick Gibson) and Wylan Hendricks (Jack Wolfe).
Season 1 laid a complex foundation for the elaborate universe that houses this story, and for those that need a refresher on what exactly happened in the first season, look no further. We’ll do our best to summarize, from the intricacies to the adventures.

Jessie Mei Li is a name that's back on everyone's lips again, and it's for good reason. She's the star of Netflix's book-to-tv adaptation of "Shadow and Bone," which premieres its highly anticipated second season on March 16. The fantasy show is based on a series of Grishaverse novels written by author Leigh Bardugo, which cover themes like friendship, sexuality, and race. Li plays the role of Alina Starkov, a "sun summoner" who is one of the most powerful beings that ever lived.
In a 2021 roundtable interview with Popsugar, the actor shared that her lived experience helped to inform the way she portrays her character. "[Alina] wants to save the world to validate herself as a member of this nation. It really felt true to my life. As a mixed-race person, it's part of who I am," she said. "It shaped who I am. It shapes my personality, but it's not everything that I am.

Netflix’s nearly three-minute trailer for Shadow and Bone season two opens with the revelation that General Kirigan has created an army out of shadows and has plunged the country into darkness. It’s going to take everything Alina Starkov and Mal Oretsev have to emerge victorious against Kirigan and his unkillable army.
Author Leigh Bardugo told Netflix’s Tudum this new season differs from her trilogy. “We are going to get to see some incredible new characters,” explained Bardugo. “We’re going to see characters interacting with each other, questing with each other, fighting and laughing with each other, who we never got to see together in the books — and I think that’s a unique thing about this show.”
“We’ve […]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,...

If you've been itching for another fantasy show to binge, then Netflix has heard your calls. The second season of "Shadow and Bone," based on the Grishaverse franchise by Leigh Bardugo, is coming soon. While the show's initial season left some major plot threads hanging in the balance, it looks like those will be explored more in-depth in the next batch of episodes.
"Shadow and Bone" immediately proved to be a success for Netflix when it premiered in April 2021. In her review of the first season, /Film's Vanessa Armstrong praised its accessible world-building and compelling characters, a balance arguably rarely achieved in modern fantasy fare. From the looks of this latest trailer, this will prove to be no different for its second season.

It seems like Alina Starkov (Jessie Mei Li) is finally embracing her powers — both literally, as a formidable Sun Summoner, and metaphorically, as she stands against love interest-turned-foe Darkling (Ben Barnes). In Netflix’s first sneak peek at “Shadow and Bone” Season 2, released as part of its global fan event Tudum, fans can see her step into her own.
The 40-second clip, which you can watch above, also features a look at new characters like Patrick Gibson’s (“The Oa”) Nikolai Lantsov, who declares Alina is a “symbol.”
In a brief flash, audiences also get first glimpses at Lewis Tan (“Mortal Kombat”) and Anna Leong Brophy (“Traces”) as Tolya Yul-Bataar and Tamar Kir-Bataar, twin siblings and fellow Grisha Heartrenders. “The Witcher’s” Jack Wolfe is also depicted as Wylan Hendriks, a new Crows recruit.

“Shadow and Bone” Season 2 has added a few more names to the Netflix young-adult fantasy series.
Lewis Tan (“Mortal Kombat”), Anna Leong Brophy (“Back”), Patrick Gibson (“The Oa”) and Jack Wolfe (“The Witcher”) have all joined the production’s ensemble, the streamer announced on Thursday morning.
Gibson will play the role of Nikolai Lantsov, while Brophy and Tan will play the roles of Tamar Kir-Bataar and Tolya Kir-Bataar, respectively. The three characters are closely associated with each other in the original “Shadow and Bone” series of novels. Notably, the particulars of Lantsov’s identity come as somewhat of a reveal in the novels, so Netflix’s official announcement of an actor being cast as the character comes as a surprise to fans of the books.
Wolfe will play Wylan Hendricks, a character that “Shadow and Bone” readers have been eagerly awaiting. A demolitions expert, Hendricks becomes an eventual love interest...
