Season 2 of Shadow and Bone premiered, and this time General Kirigan (aka The Darkling) was bigger, badder, and more powerful than ever. In the second season, Alina, our Sun Summoner, had a lot on her plate as she tried to safeguard Ravka from greater turmoil by bringing down the Fold and Kirigan’s reign of terror.
Everything you need to know about the upcoming third season of Shadow and Bone is included below.
Is There Going to Be a Third Season of Shadow and Bone?
Regrettably, Shadow and Bone has not been renewed for a third season as of yet, and the situation has reached a point where it is starting to get a little bit concerning. I’m not suggesting that it’s going to be canceled, but typically, renewals are announced roughly two months after the first episode of a new season airs.
What is the Release Date of Third Season of Shadow and Bone?
There is no known premiere date for Season 3 of Shadow and Bone. Even worse, Netflix is yet to reveal whether or not the drama series will be renewed.
Given the show’s success, though, we think it’s just a matter of time before the streaming service approves Season 2. Showrunner Eric Heisserer told Collider, “It was a three-year plan that I laid out, or a three-season plan.” This means that the cast and crew always intended to return for at least three more seasons.
Cast and Character: Who May Appear in Shadow and Bone Season 3?
All of the following actors would likely return for season three of Shadow and Bone:
- Archie Renaux as Mal Oretsev
- Danielle Galligan as Nina Zenik
- Amita Suman as Inej Ghafa
- Kit Young as Jesper Fahey
- Jessie Mei Li as Alina Starkov
- Freddy Carter as Kaz Brekker
- Zoë Wanamaker as Baghra
- Luke Pasqualino as David Kostyk
Several new characters were introduced in season two, including Nikolai Lantsov (Patrick Gibson), Wylan Hendriks (Jack Wolfe), and the twins Tolya (Lewis Tan) and Tamar (Anna Leong Brophy).
After what transpired at the end of season two, General Kirigan, or The Darkling, is one major figure who may not return. There’s still a chance to bring Ben Barnes back through magic and/or flashbacks, as fantasy series are inclined to do, because it’s hard to envision this show without its major star, Ben Barnes.
The Plot: What Will Be the Storyline of Shadow and Bone Season 3?
The storylines for the next third season have not been discussed publicly as of yet, and reading Leigh Bardugo’s books won’t be of much assistance in figuring out what’s going to happen next because the second season already covered a significant portion of the source material.
The second round of episodes followed both the second and third books in the Shadow and Bone trilogy in rapid succession. Additionally, aspects from other books in the Grishaverse, such as Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom, were incorporated into the show.
Despite this, it is possible that there is more to the story that has not yet been told. With the Darkling’s demise, the conclusion of the second season takes place in a similar vein to that of the original book trilogy. However, the story has a happy conclusion for Alina and Mal since everyone believes that Alina has passed away. This allows Alina to assume a new identity and reopen the orphanage where she and Mal spent their childhoods together.
The adaption on Netflix takes a sharp turn in a different direction by breaking up the couple at the end of the second season while also injecting a new layer of gloom into Alina’s environment.
It is possible that the conclusion of this series will be the same as the conclusion of the books in the end, but there is a lot of new territory to cover in season three first, and readers of the books will be blind to it moving ahead.
Is There Any Official Trailer of Shadow and Bone Season 3?
No, there is not a trailer for the third season of Shadow and Bone at this time. We do not anticipate that the status of this teaser will change, given that Netflix has not yet decided whether or not to continue the series. While we wait for that to happen, you can check out the Shadow and Bones Season 2 trailer right here.
