Shadow and Bone | Season 1 Recap | Netflix

Orphan. Outcast. And the best hope for a world divided by darkness. Based on Leigh Bardugo's worldwide bestselling Grishaverse novels, Shadow and Bone finds us in a war-torn world where lowly soldier and orphan Alina Starkov (Jessie Mei Li) has just unleashed an extraordinary power that could be the key to setting her country free. With the monstrous threat of the Shadow Fold looming, Alina is torn from everything she knows to train as part of an elite army of magical soldiers known as Grisha. But as she struggles to hone her power, she finds that allies and enemies can be one and the same and that nothing in this lavish world is what it seems. There are dangerous forces at play, including a crew of charismatic criminals, and it will take more than magic to survive. Also starring Ben Barnes, Archie Reneaux, Freddy Carter, Kit Young and Amita Suman, the Shadow and Bone Season 2 premiere date on Netflix is March 16, 2023.

@@all-for-one-- I honestly get triggered about stuff like this. The 2nd book of the trilogy had a lot of intense and even considered abusive moments, some of them will be adapted into the second season(obviously) and these views/things that occur should have nothing to do with real life representations etc, it's just literally how the book was + on another note, it's not really confirmed the so called critic was talking about s&b, and I truly hope season 2 is great, considering clear as day information on how the books are.

[@Rosula_D]

The first season remains one of the best book-to-screen adaptations I've ever watched so I hope the second season is equally great. I really wonder how the Crows' story will play out but I'm optimistic that it will be interesting without overtaking Alina's journey.

[@all-for-one--]

They removed like almost all of Mal's dialogue: - In the next page, Mal "goggled dumbly after [Zoya], his mouth slightly open" Mal and his tracker friends talk about getting with the grisha girl Mal whooped "without sparing me another glance"... - "I hated hiding how much the stupid things he did hurt me" - "you looked miserable at dinner" I was surprised he'd noticed - "I usually got the impression that Mal wanted to forget everything about the place, maybe even me" - "Maybe he'll fall on a ditch on his way there" (to seduce other girls) - "Mal had never looked at me the way he looked at that girl or even the way he looked at Ruby, and he never would."

Eric already confirmed no ice heist in season 2. What is concerning is how little Netflix is spending in publicity. They the little they do let out focus on the least popular couple of ALL the grishaverse - sorry but them using Malina might cause the show to get cancelled and no more crows spnoff

[@jamiegdubois]

I think the first season was pretty popular. I’m a PhD post-grad in my late 20s and I enjoyed it (judge me if you will lol) and so did a lot of my friends in my program. I’m also pretty sure it was also popular (if not more popular) among younger crowds too. My best friend’s boy friend is a high school teacher and he was telling me that everyone in his class had been watching it because a lot of them had read the books it was based on.

[@psywalker7973]

[@abcun17]

Uhhh, this video gives me goosebumps! "Shadow and Bone" was without a doubt the best new show in 2021 and I daresay the past few years. I haven't been looking forward to the return of a show...ever since "Game Of Thrones"! With shows like "Andor", "The Terminal List", "Reacher" and this jewel, I'm in my happy place. Please, please drop the trailer for the second season soon! I want this show back badly (I cannot believe it has been almost two years!!!)! I wish and hope that this show has a full run and gets to tell it's full story! Are you listening Netflix! I hope they realize what they have on their hands!

Ben Barnes brought me to the Grishaverse and I'm happy about it. The saga books are awesome. The adaptation is great. I am eagerly awaiting season 2.😉 I hope to know more about what Aleksander does since in the novel everything is written from Alina's point of view. Ben Barnes has so much to offer the role. Congratulations to the rest of the cast too and to the writers. Looking forward to season 2. Ben Barnes m'a amené au Grishaverse et j'en suis heureuse. Les livres de la saga sont géniaux. L'adaptation est grandiose. J'attend la saison 2 avec impatience. J'espère en savoir plus sur ce que fait Aleksander puisque dans le roman tout est écrit du point de vue d'Alina. Ben Barnes a tant à offrir au rôle. Bravo au reste du casting aussi et aux scénaristes. Vivement la saison 2.
