Shadow and Bone has proven to be a huge hit for Netflix since its premiere earlier this spring, and its renewal was a no-brainer for this streaming service. After a successful first chapter, this fantasy show has been renewed for its second season.
Based on the first book from Leigh Bardugo’s bestselling series, Shadow and Bone centers on Alina Starkov (Jessie Mei Li), an orphan mapmaker who unleashes an extraordinary power that could change the fate of the world as she knows it.
Netflix adaptation of Shadow and Bone has been developed by Eric Heisserer, with Shawn Levy serving as one of the executive producers. He praised Heisserer and Bardugo for creating a world and pantheon of characters that fans all over the globe have embraced.
“My 21 Laps colleagues and I are thrilled that audiences around the world can continue to explore the Grishaverse and revel in the epic, unique storytelling of Shadow and Bone… We can’t wait to take viewers on the wild ride that comes next,” said Levy in a statement.
Following its Netflix premiere on April 23rd, Shadow and Bone has been watched by 55 million households in its first 28 days and hit no. 1 in 79 countries. In addition to Jessie Mei Li, it also stars Archie Renaux, Freddy Carter, Amita Suman, Kit Young, Ben Barnes, and Zoë Wanamaker.
