Eric Heisserer created the American fantasy television series Shadow and Bone for Netflix in 2021. It stars Jessie Mei Li, Ben Barnes, and Archie Renaux, with Kit Young, Freddy Carter, and Amita Suman in supporting roles. The series, which is based on the writings of Leigh Bardugo, is set in the Grishaverse and follows orphan and cartographer Alina Starkov (Li), who finds out she is a Grisha, someone with magical abilities and the key to saving her war-ravaged world.
The first season, based on Bardugo’s novel Shadow and Bone (2012), debuted on April 23, 2021. It also features a brand-new plot involving the Crows, a gang of criminals from Bardugo’s Six of Crows series.
There was some praise for the world-building and cast of Shadow and Bone, but some criticism was directed at the pacing. The show was renewed by Netflix for a second season after it was successful. The second season premiered on March 16, 2023, and it was an adaptation of Siege and Storm (2013), Ruin and Rising (2014), and a portion of Crooked Kingdom. Shadow and Bone was canceled in November 2023 after two seasons, despite growing support from fans.
The Grishaverse, which includes Ravka, Fjerda, Shu Han, Kerch, Novyi Zem, and the Wandering Isle, is where the series takes place. In the Grishaverse, there is a group of people known as “magic-users.” These people, known as Grisha, are practitioners of what is called “The Small Science,” a unique ability that allows each Grisha to manipulate matter at the molecular level. Ravka is home to the majority of the Grisha, where they are typically discovered as children by traveling Grisha testers and brought to train in the nation’s Second Army. Ravka Grisha are divided into three orders during their Second Army training based on their gift in The Small Science:

Shadow and Bone Story
Alina Starkov, a cartographer, reunites with Malyen “Mal” Oretsev, her childhood friend, in East Ravka. Mal is selected to be a part of the team that will cross the Fold, which is a very dangerous journey because the Fold is full of flying Volcra monsters. Alina burns the maps because she doesn’t want to be apart from Mal again. This forces the cartographers to cross as well. The group enters the Fold at the same time that General Kirigan, the Shadow Summoner and leader of the Second Army, arrives at the camp. They are attacked by Volcra shortly after entering the Fold. Another cartographer named Alexei runs away. Alina accidentally releases a flash of light to fight off the Volcra, which is how she learns to use her Sun Summoner powers. Kaz Brekker, Jesper Fahey, and Inej Ghafa are competing with mob boss Pekka Rollins in Ketterdam for a job that pays one million kruge. Kaz beats Pekka to the only known Heartrender when it becomes clear that Dreesen first needs one. Kaz learns from Dreesen that Alexei has been taken captive. Alexei tells The Heartrender that Alina is a Sun Summoner, and Dreesen tells The Heartrender that the job is to kidnap Alina.
Shadow and Bone Review
A fantastic book adaptation by Leigh Bardugo! I was ecstatic to see how they brought it all to life, with the majority of the main characters remaining faithful to the Grishaverse while investigating novel concepts and questions like “What would happen if Alina and Mal met the Crows?” because, let’s face it, that question has probably been asked by a lot of fans.

The majority of the characters were well-developed, and I found their growth throughout the season to be quite satisfying. All of the actors and actresses deserve praise for their excellent portrayals of complex characters.
